Sue ran the first 12 miles of the 24-mile fun run in 72 minutes. her rate decreased by 2 miles per hour in the second half of the race. how long did it take sue to run the second half of the fun run?

show how to do this

90 minutes or 1.30 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In 72 minutes, Sue ran 12 miles per hour

In 1 minute, Sue ran 12/72 miles per hour

In 60 minutes, Sue ran (12/72)*60 miles per hour

= 10 miles per hour

Remaining miles after completing 12 miles in 72 minutes = (24-12) = 12 miles.

If the mileage decreases to 2 miles per hour, he will now run = (10 - 2) = 8 miles per hour.

Now,

1 hour = 60 minutes

Sue can run 8 miles in 60 minutes

Sue can run 1 miles in 60/8 minutes

Sue can run 12 miles in (60/8)*12 minutes

= 90 minutes or 1.30 hours

square root

step-by-step explanation:

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
