The first person has braided 2 in. of a bracelet and adds 1/4 in. each minute. A second person has just started and adds 1/3 in. each minute. In about how many minutes will the bracelets be the same length?
A 24
B 12
C 16
D 9

i think 1: 2

step-by-step explanation:

isaiah walks 3 miles due north, turns and then 5 miles due east. how far is he from his starting point?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

let c = distance from starting point.

(3)^2 + (5)^2 = c^2

9 + 25 = c^2

34 = c^2

sqrt{34} = sqrt{c^2}

sqrt{34} = c
