Malcolm can run a race at a speed of 6 minutes per mile, while joshua runs at 8 minutes per mile. in a 10-mile race, how many minutes after malcolm crosses the finish line will joshua cross the finish line if they start the race together?

Explanation:

The time to cross the finish line may be found using the speed vs. time equation:

From which you can solve for time:

Using the last equation, you can find the difference in the times for Malcolm and Joshua, but, since the speed must be expressed in miles per minutes, and the given data are minutes per mile, first you must convert the data.

Miles per minute is the inverse of minutes per mile, so the corresponding speeds are:

Hence, Joshua will cross the finish line 20 minutes after Malcolm crosses the finish line.

step-by-step explanation:

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
