Two trains leave two different stations 300 km apart; the first starts at noon and the second at 12 15 h. Travelling on parallel

tracks, they meet each other at 15 00 h. Each train travels at a constant speed, the one leaving at 12 15 h moves at 15 km/h faster than the other. What are their speeds?​

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

From noon to 1500  is three hours

  train A    then travels  <u> 3x</u>   where x = speed in km/hr

  train B   only travels for 2.45 hours and covers

                  <u>   2.45 ( x + 15)  </u>        where x + 15 is its speed in km/hr

       these two values sum to the 300 km distance

3x     +     2.45 ( x + 15) = 300

3x + 2.45 x  + 36.75 = 300

x = 48.3 km/hr       x+15= 63.3 km / hr

The length of a table is 8 times longer then it’s width. If the perimeter is 72, how wide is the table?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

4 units wide

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the table be 'w'

Given:

Perimeter of the table is, P=72

The perimeter of the rectangular table is given as the sum of all the sides of the rectangle. The sides include two lengths and two widths.

Length of the table is 8 times longer than its width. Therefore,

Length,L=8w

Now, perimeter is given as:

P=2L +2w\\P=2(8w)+2w\\P=16w+2w\\P=18w\\w=\frac{P}{18}

Now, plug in 72 for 'P' and solve for 'w'. This gives,

w=\frac{P}{18}\\\\w=\frac{72}{18}\\\\w=4

So, the table is 4 units wide.

Why are the solutions to the proportions 50/x =10/20 and 10/50=20/x the same

With cross multiplication you can find that they are the same. In both equations, x would be 100.
