Answer:
Distance between A and B is 5400 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider "D" the letter to identify distance between A and B
Let's use "t" to identify the time of the first encounter (Devi and Kumar), and create an equation that states that the distance covered by Devi (at 100 m/min) in time "t", is equal to the total distance D minus what Kumar has covered at his speed (80 m/min) in that same time:
Recall that distance equals the speed times the time:
distance= speed * time
First encounter:
100 * t = D - 80 * t
180 * t = D Equation (1)
Not, 6 minutes later (at time t+6) , Devi and Li Ting meet .
Then for this encounter the distance covered by Devi equals total distance d minus the distance covered by Li Ting:
100 *(t+6) = D - 75 * (t+6)
100 t + 600 = D - 75 t - 450
175 T + 150 = D Equation (2)
Now, let's equal equation (1) to equation (2), since D should be the same:
180 t = 175 t + 150
5 t = 150
t = 30
Then the time t (first encounter) is 30 minutes. Knowing this, we can use either equation to find D:
From Equation (1) for example: D = 180 * t = 180 * 30 = 5400 meters
Answer:
u = (-21)/20
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for u:
u + 1/4 = (-4)/5
Put each term in u + 1/4 over the common denominator 4: u + 1/4 = (4 u)/4 + 1/4:
(4 u)/4 + 1/4 = -4/5
(4 u)/4 + 1/4 = (4 u + 1)/4:
1/4 (4 u + 1) = -4/5
Multiply both sides of (4 u + 1)/4 = (-4)/5 by 4:
(4 (4 u + 1))/4 = (-4)/5×4
4×(-4)/5 = (4 (-4))/5:
(4 (4 u + 1))/4 = (-4×4)/5
(4 (4 u + 1))/4 = 4/4×(4 u + 1) = 4 u + 1:
4 u + 1 = (-4×4)/5
4 (-4) = -16:
4 u + 1 = (-16)/5
Subtract 1 from both sides:
4 u + (1 - 1) = (-16)/5 - 1
1 - 1 = 0:
4 u = (-16)/5 - 1
Put (-16)/5 - 1 over the common denominator 5. (-16)/5 - 1 = (-16)/5 - 5/5:
4 u = (-16)/5 - 5/5
-16/5 - 5/5 = (-16 - 5)/5:
4 u = (-16 - 5)/5
-16 - 5 = -21:
4 u = (-21)/5
Divide both sides by 4:
u = ((-21)/4)/5
5×4 = 20:
Answer: u = (-21)/20
Quotient would be 8 because 88 divided by 11 is 8.
hope this helped :D
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for calculating percent is
% = (cost of item/total cost) × 100 %
% = (cost of item/1875) × 100 %
% = (cost of item/18.75) %
You can use the same formula to calculate the percent for each item in the budget. For example,
Housing: % = 420/18.75 = 22 %
You can do this for each budget item and get the table below.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> the number of ice cream cones sold 5 years ago
Remember that
we know that
Sales 5 years ago, multiplied by the 30% increase should equal 18,000 ice cream cones.
so
The linear equation that represent this problem is
Solve for x
Divide by 1.3 both sides
