Points a and b are 200 mi apart. a cyclist started from point a and a motorcyclist started from point b, moving towards each other. the speed of the cyclist was 17 mph, the speed of motorcyclist was 83 mph. at what distance from point a will they meet?

34 miles is the distance from point A will they meet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion states that the two ratios or fractions are equal.

Given the statement:

Distance between point A and B (i.e AB) = 200 mi.

Let the cyclist speed be c, and motor- speed be m;

then;

c = 17 mph and m=83 mph

Let they meet at distance x miles from a point A.  

By definition of proportion, we have;

By cross multiply;

Using distributive property,

Add 17x both sides we get;

Simplify:

100x = 3400

Divide by 100 on both sides we get;

x = 34 miles

Therefore, the distance from point A will they meet is, 34 miles.

the clues that signal the reader should change tone are the punctuation marks, the grammatical signs. for example, the quotation marks at the beginning of something someone else said literally or the exclamation marks.

the tone of the first line of dialogue until "gettysburg" is a kind tone, a tone of advise. the narrator is trying to the other person in doing something he or she obviously is finding hard to do by giving a piece of advise and bringing up a memory of a successful similar case.

the clue that the reader understand how to read the word "bang" is the exclamation mark. it gives the word a surprise tone, a strong accent.

the best tone for reading the word "bang" is an exciting tone, a surprise one, even a loud one.

the words that should be read with a formal tone are the ones that give factual information. the sentence: mister lincoln couldn't think of anything to say at the gettysburg" gives information about an event and it needs to be read formally, also, when the narrator wants to transmit calmness, a formal and slow tone is needed, because people also transmit messages with the vibrations of our voices and tones.
