Answer:

$1.89

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 8p+3f=$10.39

2) 5p+4f=$10.51

where p represents pencil & f represents folder.

multiply the first equation by 5 and the second equation by 8.

40p+15f=$51.95

40p+32f=$84.08

Subtract

17f=$32.13

f=$32.13/17 =$1.89

Jessica is walking home from a friend's house after 2 minutes she is 1.6 miles from home 8 minutes after leaving she is 1.1 mile

Artist 52 [7]

1.6 miles - 1.1 miles = 0.5 miles

8 minutes - 2 minutes = 6 minutes

She traveled 0.5 miles in 6 minutes.

1 hour = 60 minutes.

60 minutes / 6 minutes = 10

0.5 x 10 = 5

She is walking 5 miles per hour.
