At the same time, Sam and Fred who are 168 miles apart begin moving toward each other. Find the number of hours before they meet if Sam runs 12 mph and Fred runs 9 mph.

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the time before they meet ( in hours)

Speed of Sam = 12 mph

Sped of Fred = 9 mph

Distance = Speed × time

Distance covered by Sam in x hours = 12x

Distance covered by Fred in x hours = 9x

                                               (Distance)     (rate1) (time1)          (rate2) (time2)  

Total distance between them: 168             =     12      x        +      9    x

Hence,  the number of hours before they meet if Sam runs 12 mph and Fred runs 9 mph. = 8

i think thats the answer i checked it on google

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.
