It takes them 12 seconds to eat the whole sausage.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed is the rate of change of distance.

Analysis:

If kitten eats x cm, then puppy will eat 14 - x cm

speed = d/t

speed of kitten = 1/2

speed of puppy = 2/3

1/2 = x/t

2/3 = 14 - x / t

t = 2x--------1

2t = 3(14 - x ) -------- 2

substitute t in equation 2

2(2x) = 3(14 - x)

4x = 42 - 3x

7x = 42

x = 42/7 = 6cm

substitute value of x in equation 1

t = 2(60 = 12 seconds.

In conclusion, it takes the both animals 12 seconds to finish the sausage.

A=P+Prt for r what does r =
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

r = \frac{A-P}{Pt}

Step-by-step explanation:

Express the equation with the term in r on the left side

P + Prt = A ( subtract P from both sides )

Prt = A - P ( isolate r by dividing both sides by Pt )

r = \frac{A-P}{Pt}

What are the x and y intercepts for the equation 16x-4y=2?? NEED ANSWERS ASAP WORTH 70pts!!
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

<em>x-intercept = 1/8</em>

<em>y-intercept = -1/2</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y = 0, and solve for x to find the x-intercept. Then let x = 0 and solve for y to find the y-intercept.

x-intercept

16x - 4y = 2

16x - 4(0) = 2

16x - 0 = 2

16x = 2

x = 2/16

x = 1/8

x-intercept = 1/8

y-intercept

16x - 4y = 2

16(0) - 4y = 2

0 - 4y = 2

-4y = 2

y = 2/-4

y = -1/2

y-intercept = -1/2

Sean took 4 hours to travel from Town A to Town B at an
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Tina's average speed  for the whole journey = 56 kmph

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken by Sean to travel from Town A to Town B = 4 hours.

Average speed of Sean = 70 km/h

We have equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5 at²

Time, t = 4 hours.

Initial speed, u = 70 km/hr

Acceleration, a = 0 m/s²

Substituting

      s = ut + 0.5 at²

      s = 70 x 4 + 0.5 x 0 x  4²

       s = 280 km

Distance from Town A to Town B = 280 km

Tina took 1 hour more than Sean.

Time taken by Tina to travel from Town A to Town B = 4 +1 = 5 hours

We have equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5 at²

Time, t = 5 hours.

Displacement, s = 280 km

Acceleration, a = 0 m/s²

Substituting

      s = ut + 0.5 at²

      280 = u x 5 + 0.5 x 0 x  5²

       u = 56 km/hr

Tina's average speed  for the whole journey = 56 kmph
