runner A crosses the starting line of a marathon and runs at an average pace of 5.6 miles per hour. half an hour later, runner B crosses the starting line and runs at an average rate of 6.4 miles per hour. if the length of the marathon is 26.2 miles, which runner will finish ahead of the other?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Time it takes for him to finish:
t = 26.2/5.6 = 4.679 hours (to complete race)
.
Runner B:
Time it takes for him to finish:
t = 26.2/6.4 = 4.094 hours
BUT wait, we have to account for the extra .5 hours -- the time it took for him to cross the start line.
t = 4.094 + .5 = 4.594 hours
.
Since Runner B's time is less than Runner A's, we must conclude Runner B will finish first.

Select the correct verb form for the sentence. i would be able to _____ that tree if it weren't for my bad shoulder. climbs climb climbed climbing

Answers

I would be able to climb that tree if it weren't for my bad shoulder.

We need to use climb in this sentence. Because we know that to goes before the verb, we know we have to use the infinitive (to climb). It does not make any sense to say "to climbs," "to climbed," or "to climbing."

the correct answer is ''climb''

What does the narrator allude to at the end of this sentence from Mark Twain's "The 1,000,000 Bank-Note"? "So I loved her all the more, seeing she could be so cheerful when there wasn't anything to be cheerful about; for I might soon need that kind of wife, you know, the way things looked." A) the possibility of Adams having to leave the country to escape his creditors B) the possibility of requiring a wife who could match Adams social standards C) the possibility of Adams failure and having a lot of debt to repay D) the possibility of Adams taking up permanent residence in London

Answers

The correct answer is the following: option B. At the end of the sentence provided in the question the narrator alludes to the possibility of requiring a wife who could match Adam social standards.

"The Million Pound Bank-Note" is a short story written by American author Mark Twain that was first published in 1893. It tells the story  of an American man named Henry who is poor and now living in he city of London. Henry Adams is given an envelope with a 1.000.000 pound bank-note that in the case that he would try to exchange it in the bank, would probably send him to prison. Still Henry  starts to see how by having that bank-note in his power, people are assured that he is wealthy and therefore he can live in the city as a rich man, without ever spending the 1.000.000 pound bank-note.

This is why the narrator is alluding that Adams requires a wife who could match Adam social standards. She can be cheerful in moments there was no reason to be cheerful at all, and Adams knows that his social status can suddenly drastically change, and he needs someone like her by his side.

Fran has been struggling with the tasks she has to accomplish over the next few weeks: homework due the next day (Tuesday), a French test that Thursday, an essay due in two weeks, an algebra test next Friday, and a science project the following Monday. To make things worse, she has to plan a surprise party for her best friend's birthday the weekend after next. How should she list her priorities, starting with the most urgent task? Rearrange the list below to build the right sequence.

Answers

Answer:

1) Finish homework which is due the next day (Tuesday).

2) Prepare for a French test that is due on Thursday.

3) Prepare  a science project that is due on the following Monday.

4) Prepare for the algebra test that is on the next friday.

5) Complete her essay that is due in two weeks.

6) Plan a surprise party for her best friend's birthday that is on weekend after next.

Explanation:

As Fran must list her priorities, starting with the most urgent task for the least urgent, the last place on her list of priorities must be the surprise party for her best friend's birthday, because Fran's academic life must be more important than parties and friendships, so she should only worry about her friend's party when she finishes her academic tasks.

Regarding the academic tasks, Fran should start with the one that the date of delivery is closest, so she can deliver all her tasks in the right time, avoid delays in delivery and avoid problems in school.

Order of events: Homework the next days, a french test that Thursday, an algebra test next Friday, a science project the following Monday, an essay due in two weeks, and last the suprise party for her bff.
