E Question Help 1.3.AP-9
Two hikers are 22 miles apart and walking toward each other. They meet in 4 hours. Find the rate of each hiker if one hiker walks 1.1 mph faster than the other
The speed of the slow hiker is mph, and the speed of the fast hiker is mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the hiker are walking at different speeds they meet at a point not in the middle.

Let distance travelled by Hiker A (slower) be x at speed s.

So, distance travelled by Hiker B (faster) is (22 - x) at a speed (s + 1.1) .

Solving equations 1 and 2, we get :

x = 8.8m and s = 2.2mph

Therefore,

Speed of Hiker A = 2.2 mph

Speed of Hiker A = 2.2 mphSpeed of Hiker B = 3.3 mph

i leave the calculator work to you.

7. diameter 4 miles, circumference 4π miles

8. radius 0.2 miles, circumference 0.4π miles

[this is a bad problem because the actual radius of a car on the track is less than 0.2 miles so the answer is less than 0.4π miles]

9. radius 6 feet, circumference 12π feet

10. diameter 14 cm, circumference 14π cm

11. diameter 4.8 feet, circumference 4.8π feet
