Ashok and Brian are both walking east along the same path; Ashok walks at a faster constant speed than does Brian. If Brian starts 30 miles east of Ashok and both begin walking at the same time, how many miles will Brian walk before Ashok catches up with him

60 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Ashok and Brian are both walking east along the same path; Ashok walks at a faster constant speed than does Brian. If Brian starts 30 miles east of Ashok and both begin walking at the same time, how many miles will Brian walk before Ashok catches up with him?

Statement 1. Brian’s walking speed is twice the difference between Ashok’s walking speed and his own

Statement 2. If Ashok’s walking speed were five times as great, it would be three times the sum of his and Brian’s actual walking speeds

Solution

A. Brian’s walking speed is twice the difference between Ashok’s walking speed and his own.

Let Brian speed=b

Ashok speed=a

Brian's walking speed=2(a-b)

b=2(a-b)

Divide both sides by 2

b/2=a-b

Ashok catches up in (time)= distance /( relative rate

=30/(a-b)

=30/(b/2)

=30÷b/2

=30*2/b

=60/b.

By that time Brian will cover a distance of

distance=rate*time

=b*60/b

=2(a-b)*60/2(a-b)

=60 miles

(2) If Ashok’s walking speed were five times as great, it would be three times the sum of his and Brian’s actual walking speeds.

5a=3(a+b)

5a=3a+3b

5a-3a=3b

2a=3b

step-by-step explanation:

first option

a function is a relation in which an input is paired with exactly one output.

so, let's find the right answer.

in our first option, our inputs are january, february, and march. the outputs are 30, 28, and 25. each input has it's own output. this is correct!

our second option we know is incorrect, because ms. valverade has two outputs, dogs and cats. this is not a function.

our third option is incorrect as well. the yellow square has two ouputs, the square and the triangle.

lastly, in our fourth option, we see the number 7 two times with a different output. therefore, this is not a function.

remember: each input must be paired with only one output!
