Answer:
()
Step-by-step explanation:
The fastest way to do this is to convert both equations into slope-intercept form and graph it to find the solution point. If you wanted to do this algebraically, you might want to start out by getting rid of the fractions and using either substitution or elimination to find x and y.
Answer: Brielle will run the marathon faster.
Brielle = 104.8 minutes
Joshua = 157.2 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed rate = distance /time
Brielle = 1.25 /10 = 0.125 miles per minute
Joshua = 1.5/18 = 0.083333 =1/12 miles per minute
Since 0.125 (Brielle) > 1/12 (Joshua)
Brielle will run the marathon faster.
To calculate the time that takes each one to run the entire race (13.1 miles)
Time= distance / speed
- Brielle = 13.1 /0.125 = 104.8 minutes
- Joshua = 13.1 / (1/12)= 157.2 minutes
