Answer:

<u>40 miles in 60 minutes</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1 hour has 60 minutes, and since the freight train travels 1 mile in 1.5 minutes, it can be said that the train travels 2 miles in 3 minutes (assuming a constant rate). This becomes a problem of equal ratios:

\frac{2}{3}=\frac{x}{60} , <em>where the numerator refers to distance, and the denominator refers to the time</em>

After cross multiplication, we find that 3x = 120, or x = 40.

Therefore, it takes 1 hour for the train to travel <u>40 miles</u>

Answer:

The number of miles will the train travel in 1 hour is 40 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A freight train travels 1 mile in 1 minute 30 seconds.

Find:

The number of miles that the train will travel in 1 hour

Step 1 of 1

One minute 30 seconds is $\frac{3}{2}$ minutes, so the train's speed is

$$\begin{aligned}\text { spced } &=\frac{1 \text { miles }}{\frac{3}{2} \text { minutes }} \\&=\frac{2}{3} \frac{\text { miles }}{\text { minute }}\end{aligned}$$

There are 60 minutes in an hour, so the distance traveled in 60 minutes is distance =(60$ minutes $) \cdot\left(\frac{2}{3} \frac{\text { miles }}{\text { minute }}\right)$

                  =40 miles.

Consider the expansion of (x + 2y)^10. Determine the coefficients for the terms with the powers of x and y shown.
julsineya [31]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that  an expression

(x+2y)^{10}

Binomial expansion o f (x+y)^n is given by

=nC_0 x^n+nC_1x^{n-1}y^1+nC_2x^{n-2}y^2+nC_3x^{n-3}y^3+... nC_n y^n

a. We have to find the coefficient of x^2y^8

(x+2y)^{10}=10C_0x^{10}+10C_1x^9(2y)+10C_2x^8(2y)^2+10C_3x^7(2y)^3+...+10C_{10}(2y)^{10}

Term is 10C_8x^(2y)^8

Coefficient =10C_8\cdot 2^8

b.Term in which x^4y^6  is 10C_6x^4(2y)^6

Coefficient =10C_4\cdot 2^6

c.We have to find the coefficient of x^5y^5

Term  is 10C_5x^5(2y)^5

Coefficient =10C_5\cdot 2^5
