PLEASE HELP ME!!! jacky starts biking to meet up with her friend. she knows that if she bikes at a speed of 10 mph, she will be 3 minutes late. jacky also know that if she bikes at a speed of 12 mph, she will be there 2 minutes before they agree to meet. how much time does she have left before the appointed time?

27s

Step-by-step explanation:

d = distance to rendezvous point in miles

t = time of arrival at 10mph, i.e. 3 mins later than appointed time

10 mph = 10 miles per hour = ¹/₆ miles per min

12 mph = ¹/₅ miles per min

t = d/(¹/₆)

t = 6d

5 min = ¹/₁₂ hr

t - ¹/₁₂ = d/(¹/₅)

t = 5d + ¹/₁₂

Elimination of t:

6d = 5d + ¹/₁₂

d = ¹/₁₂ mi

t = 6(¹/₁₂)

t = ¹/₂ min

Time left to appointed time = ¹/₂ - ³/₆₀

= ¹⁰/₂₀ - ¹/₂₀

= ⁹/₂₀.min → 27 seconds

27 min
