Select the answers to correctly complete each statement.
The numerator of the rational expression represents the: a.) total time of felica's training run
b.) total distance of felicias training run
c.) distance felicia runs after the first 2 h
Felicia's rate for the first 2h of her training run is ___: a.) 4mph
b.) 6 mph
c.) 6.5 mph
When fleica runs 4 h, the distance she runs in the last 2 h is ____ mi a.) 12
b.) 13
c.) 25
+128448 b) total distance of felicias training run
first two hours x = 2....so we have
[ 13 + 6(2 - 2) ] / 2 = 13 / 2 = distance / rate = = 6.5 mph ⇒ "c"
distance covered in 4 hrs =
[13 + 6( 4 - 2) ] = 13 + 6(2) = 13 + 12 = 25 miles
But she ran 13 miles the first two hours
So....she must run 12 miles the last two hours ⇒ "c"
