1. Start by finding the distance covered in the first stage:
\frac{3}{5} \times 42 = 25.2 \text{ km}.
2. Then, calculate the distance covered in the second stage:
\frac{3}{8} \times 42 = 15.75 \text{ km}.
3. Add both results to find the total distance covered:
25.2 + 15.75 = 40.95 \text{ km}.
4. Since Pedro cannot exceed the total race distance of 42 km, the total distance covered is:
\boxed{40.95}
2. Then, calculate the distance covered in the second stage:
3. Add both results to find the total distance covered:
4. Since Pedro cannot exceed the total race distance of 42 km, the total distance covered is:

Math question: Find the vertex of the parabola represented by the function 𝑦 = -2𝑥^2 + 4𝑥 + 1.Answer: The vertex of the parabola is found using the formula 𝑥 = -𝑏/2𝑎. Substituting the coefficients, we obtain 𝑥 = -4/(2*-2) = 1. Plugging this x-value into the equation, we find the y-coordinate: 𝑦 = -2(1)^2 + 4(1) + 1 = 3. Therefore, the vertex is (1, 3). The
