Ermias and Jeremiah both leave the bookstore at the same time, but in opposite directions. If Jeremiah travels 8 mph faster than

Ermias and after 8 hours they are 240 miles apart, how fast is each traveling?

Using proportions, it is found that Ermias is traveling at a rate of 11 mph and Jeremiah at a rate of 19 mph.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

Jeremiah travels 8 mph faster than Ermias, hence their velocities are:

x, x + 8

They travel in opposite directions, hence in one hour they are 2x + 8 apart.

In eight hours, the distance is 8(2x + 8), which is of 240 miles, hence:

8(2x +8) = 240

2x + 8 = 30

2x = 22

x = 11.

Then:

  • x = 11 -> Ermias.
  • x = 11 + 8 = 19 -> Jeremiah.

Black_prince [1.1K]

Let x represent length of the stringer of the staircase.

We have been given that a  builder makes staircases where each step is 29 cm long and rises 18 cm so people don't trip. Every staircase has a stringer - a diagonal support connecting all the steps. We are asked to find the length of the stringer of the staircase.

The length of the stringer of the staircase will be equal to diagonal of right triangle with two legs 29 cm and 18 cm.

Using Pythagoras theorem, we will get:

x^2=29^2+18^2

x^2=841+324

x^2=1165

Now we will take square root of both sides of equation.

\sqrt{x^2}=\pm\sqrt{1165}

x=\pm 34.13209

x\approx \pm 34.13

Since length cannot be negative, therefore, the length of the stringer of the staircase would be approximately 34.13 cm.
