could you help me with this problem? Jonah earned $5 more than half of Karen's salary, k. Which of the following expressions represents Jonah's earnings?
one half(k + 5)***
one halfk + 5
one half + k + 5
one halfk > 5
5 more than x: x+5
5 more than (half Karen's salary):
(k/2)+5
Your answer is half of (5 more than Karen's salary).
To find out how many minutes it took Everly to run 1 mile during the race, we can use proportions.
We know that Everly took 55 minutes to run a 10-kilometer race. So, we can set up the proportion:
10 kilometers / 55 minutes = 1 mile / x minutes
To solve for x, we cross-multiply:
10 * x = 1 * 55
10x = 55
x = 55 / 10
x = 5.5
Therefore, it took Everly approximately 5.5 minutes to run 1 mile during the race.
The closest answer choice is 5.50 minutes.
