Elijah will pass John after 5 hours, and they each will have traveled 310 miles. Then the correct option is C.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

The distance covered by the particle or the body in an hour is called speed. It is a scalar quantity. It is the ratio of distance to time.

We know that the speed formula

Speed = Distance/Time

John and Elijah are both driving from New York City to Richmond.

John leaves at 7:20 and averages 60 mph (miles per hour) on the way.

Elijah leaves at 7:30 and averages 62 mph on the way.

The situation is modeled by this system, where x is the number of hours after Elijah leaves and y is the distance each will travel.

y = 60x + 10 ...1

y = 62x        ...2

The time is taken by Elijah to cross John will be

62x = 60x + 10

 2x = 10

   x = 5 hours

The distance traveled in 5 hours will be

y = 62 (5)

y = 310 miles

Elijah will pass John after 5 hours, and they each will have traveled 310 miles.

Then the correct option is C.

Answer:

Below!

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras theorem, I will solve all of the problems.

<h3>________________________________________________</h3>

<u>Question 9:</u>

  • 10² = 6² + x²
  • => 100 = 36 + x²
  • => 100 - 36 = x²
  • => 64 = x²
  • => x = 8
<h3>________________________________________________</h3>

<u>Question 10:</u>

  • 26² = 24² + x²
  • => 676 = 576 + x²
  • => 676 - 576 = x²
  • => 100 = x²
  • => x = 10
<h3>________________________________________________</h3>

<u>Question 11:</u>

  • 15² = 12² + x²
  • => 225 = 144 + x²
  • => 225 - 144 = x²
  • => 81 = x²
  • => x = 9
<h3>________________________________________________</h3>

<u>Question 12:</u>

  • x² = 8² + 12²
  • => x² = 64 + 144
  • => x² = 208
  • => x = √208
  • => x = 14.2 (Rounded)
<h3>________________________________________________</h3>

<u>Question 13:</u>

  • 7² = 2² + x²
  • => 49 = 4 + x²
  • => 49 - 4 = x²
  • => 45 = x²
  • => x = √45
  • => x = 6.7 (Rounded)
<h3>________________________________________________</h3>

<u>Question 14</u>

First, let's solve for the variable x using Pythagoras theorem.

  • => 5² = 3² + x²
  • => 25 = 9 + x²
  • => 16 = x²
  • => x = 4 units

Now, let's solve for the variable y using Pythagoras theorem.

  • (3 + 6)² = 5² + y²
  • => (9)² = 25 + y²
  • => 81 = 25 + y²
  • => y² = 56
  • => y = √56
  • => y = 7.5 (Rounded) units

Answers (Nearest tenth):

  • x = 4 units
  • y = 7.5 units
<h3>________________________________________________</h3>

<u>Question 15:</u>

First, let's find the value of the variable y using Pythagoras theorem.

  • 8² = 6² + y²
  • => 64 = 36 + y²
  • => 28 = y²
  • => y = √28
  • => y = 5.3 (Rounded) units

Now, let's find the value of the variable x using multiplication.

  • x = 2y
  • => x = 2(5.3)
  • => x = 10.6 units

Answer (Nearest tenth)

  • x = 10.6 units
  • y = 5.3 units

An 11-inch string is cut into 3 equal pieces. Which expression shows the length of each piece?
slega [8]
Sense this string would only be 11 (in), and we are cutting it into 3 pieces, this would show us that we would then be dividing the 11 (in) string into 3 pieces. The expression would be below.

\boxed{11\div3}

Marvin used the money he received from
Kay [80]

Answer:

<em>Correct choice: C. $320</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Simple Interest</u>

Definition: Interest calculated on the original principal only of a loan or on the balance of an account.

Unlike compound interest where the interest earned in the compounding periods is added to the new principal, simple interest only considers the principal to calculate the interest.

The interest earned is calculated as follows:

I=P.r.t

Where:

I = Interest

P = initial principal balance

r = interest rate

t = time

Marving is saving money in a savings account with a simple interest rate of r=7.5%=0.075. It's known that after t=12 years, the account had earned $288 interest. Substituting in the formula:

288 = P*0.075*12

Calculating:

288 = 0.9P

Dividing by 0.9:

P = $320

Correct choice: C. $320
