Algebra.Com's Answer #83571 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hendrik's average running speed is 375 m/min. This is 25 m/min faster than Esteban's running speed. If they want to finish at the same time, how much of a head-start, in time, should Esteban get for a 1500 m run \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "E's speed = 350 m/min \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Let x = head-start time \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Write a time equation: (Time = dist/speed) \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "H's time + head-start time = E's time \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( " 4 + x = 4.3 \n" ); document.write( " x = 4.3 - 4 \n" ); document.write( " x = .3 min head start (.3 * 60 = 18 sec) \n" ); document.write( " |
