Matthew is training to participate in a half marathon. the table below shows the number of miles he runs in weeks 1 and 2.
week

number of miles run
1 12.5
2 13.5

each week, matthew increases the number of miles he runs in the previous week by the same percent. how many miles does matthew run in week 3? do not round your answer

14.58 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Matthew is training to participate in a half marathon.

The distance covered by Matthew on the first day is 12.5 miles.

The distance covered by Matthew on the second day is 13.5 miles.

The distance increased on the second day is, mile.

The percentage will be,

Hence, each day he runs 8% more. So the distance covered by him on day 3 will be,

miles

false

step-by-step explanation:

the reason i say this is because for a certain length of sides you can pick any two and the length is wither equal or greater than the third side and in this case it's not.

3 + 5 = 8

8 is smaller than 9 which is the third side.

hope this : )

yes, gavin is right.

step-by-step explanation:

gavin is correct. 

this problem is about converting 9% per year to how many percent per quarter. the rate is still the same. it only differed in the time period. so, through dimensional analysis,

9% per year  × (1 year / 4 quarters) = 2.25% per quarter

if he was asked to convert 9% per year to how many percent per quarter  compounded quarterly, then you will not simply divide by four. this is because compounding is not linear.

hope this , have a good day. c;
