Two trains leave a station at the same time. One train is heading south at a rate that is 1.5 times faster than the other train,

which is heading north. After 5 hours, the trains are 750 miles apart.
1) At what speed, in mph, are the two trains getting farther away from each other?
2) What is the speed, in mph, of the faster train?
3) Suppose the trains simultaneously leave stations that are 450 miles apart and travel toward each other. In how many hours will the trains meet?

Based on the data given, the speeds and time taken are as follows:

  1. The combined speed of the two trains is 150 mph
  2. The speed of faster train 150 x 3/5 = 90 mph
  3. The time taken by the trains to cover 450 miles = 3 hours

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed is the ratio of distance covered and time taken.

  • Speed = distance/time

1)The distance covered by the two trains in 5 hours = 750 miles.

The trains move at a constant speed and their combined speed will be:

Combined speed = 750/5

Combined speed = 150 mph

2) The train heading south has a speed 1.5 times faster than the other train heading north.

Ratio of speeds = 3 : 2

Speed of faster train 150 x 3/5 = 90 mph

3) The combined speed of the trains = 150 mph

Distance to be covered = 450 miles

Time taken = 450/150

Time taken = 3 hours

In conclusion, the speed of the two trains are determined from the distance travelled and time taken.

Answer:

1) 150 mph

2) 90 mph

3) 3 mph

Explanation:

1) The trains move at a constant speed, and after 5 hours they are 750 miles apart. 750/5=150

2) The faster train is 1.5 faster than the slower train, and we know their combined speed is 150 mph. 150/5=30, and 30x3=90.

3) We know that both trains combined travel 150 mph. 450/150=3.

Brain was asked to round 4.44 to the nearest tenth and said it was 4.5 Is he correct?Why or Why not?
Annette [7]
Brian (I think you meant Brian haha..) is incorrect because the tenth place is the number right after the decimal which is a 4. If you are rounding to the tenth place that means that you have to look at the number to the right of that, which is 4. 5 and up means you round up and 4 and down means you round down. This is a 4, so you keep the 4 after the decimal and get rid of the last 4. Therefore, when rounded it would be: 4.4.
Hope this helped! Good luck! :)

In circle O, the radius is 4, and the length of minor arc AB is 4.2 feet. Find the measure of minor arc AB to the nearest degree
Degger [83]

The formula for arc length is s=r*angle theta where s is the arc length, r is the radius, and angle theta is central angle formed by the arc in radians.

In this case, the angle would be s/r or 4.2/4  which is 1.05 radians. We have to convert this into degrees and so you would multiply 1.05 by (180/pi) which results in approximately 60 degrees. Remember, if you want to convert radians into degrees, the conversion factor is 180/pi and for degrees into radians, it is pi/180.

Problem 1

Answer: Closer to 1

Explanation:

There are 20 gumballs total. Half of this is 20/2 = 10 gumballs. If there's more than 10 of one color, then the probability of getting that color is closer to 1, than it is to 0. Here we have 12 pink which is greater than 10, so that's why the answer is closer to 1.

================================================

Problem 2

Answer: Closer to 0

Explanation:

The amount of green (3) is less than 10, so that's why the probability is closer to 0 than it is to 1. We can see that 3/20 = 0.15 is less than 0.50

================================================

Problem 3

Answer: Closer to 0

Explanation:

We have a similar situation compared to problem 2. This time we have 5/20 = 0.25 which is less than 0.50

================================================

Problem 4

Answer: 48% chance; fairly likely

Explanation:

We have 12 green out of 25 total, so the probability of choosing green is 12/25 = 0.48 = 48%. While this probability is not over 50%, I still say it's fairly likely considering the other colors lead to smaller probabilities. For instance, purple has a chance of 6/25 = 0.24 = 24% and orange has a probability of 2/25 = 0.04 = 4%, both of which are smaller than 48%
