The tortoise and the hare are having a race. In this tale, the tortoise moves 50 ft per hr while the hare moves at 259ft per hour. The tortoise takes 8hrs longer than the hare to finish. a. Let t represent the unknown time in hours that it took the hare to complete the race, Write an expression (not an equation!) representing the time it took the tortoise to finish
the race.
b. Write two equations that represent the race, one for the hare and one for the tortoise.
c. What is the distance of the race?

Step-by-step explanation:

1). Let the distance of the race = x feet

   Speed of hare = 250 feet per hour

   If it takes the time to complete the race = t hours

   Since, Speed =

   250 =

   t =

2). Speed of tortoise = 50 feet per hour

   Time taken by the tortoise

   So the equations will be,

   t = -------(1)

    -------(2)

3). Since, tortoise took 8 hours longer than hare,

    - t = 8

   x =

   x = 500 feet  

plants store their excess carbohydrate in the form of starch so that it could be used as energy source later on. the excess carbohydrate is converted into starch in the plastid i.e. chloroplast & this process occurs in the presence of sunlight. it is an insoluble polymer of glucose which gets stored in cell organelles named as amyloplasts. in some plants, starch is also stored in roots and embryos.
