Step-by-step explanation:

it is not clear - is 500 miles the whole round trip, or is it only the trip in one direction ?

and do we need the time for the whole round trip, or only for the return trip ?

in any case, always remember,

speed = distance/time

therefore, to get time, we need to divide distance by speed :

distance / distance/time = time×distance/distance = time

so, let's calculate all these different scenarios :

1. 500 miles is only one direction, and we measure only the time going back with 60 mph :

500 / 60 = 50/6 = 25/3 = 8 1/3 = 8 hours 20 minutes.

as 1/3 of 1 hour = 1/3 of 60 minutes = 60/3 = 20 minutes.

2. 500 miles is only one direction (going 1000 miles altogether), and we measure the time going to with 50 mph and going back with 60 mph :

500 / 50 = 10 hours

500 / 60 = 8 hours 20 minutes

the whole round trip takes 18 hours 20 minutes.

3. 500 miles is the whole round trip. so, 250 miles is one direction. and we measure only the time going back with 60 mph :

250 / 60 = 25/6 = 4 1/6 = 4 hours 10 minutes.

as 1/6 of 1 hour = 1/6 of 60 minutes = 60/6 = 10 minutes.

4. 500 miles is the whole round trip. so, 250 miles is one direction. and we measure the time going to with 50 mph and back with 60 mph :

250 / 50 = 5 hours

250 / 60 = 4 hours 10 minutes

the whole round trip takes 9 hours 10 minutes.

did you notice ?

when going only half the distance, also the time it takes to travel that distance is only half (or vice versa - double). because the ratio distance/time is always the same.

Answer:

y = 4x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

Slope formula: \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

To write the equation in y = mx + b form, we need to find the slope(m) and the y-intercept(b) of the equation.

To find the slope, take two points from the table(in this example I'll use points (0, 14) and (1, 18)) and input them into the slope formula:

\frac{18-14}{1-0}

Simplify:

18 - 14 = 4

1 - 0 = 1

\frac{4}{1}=4

The slope is 4.

To find the y-intercept, input the values of the slope and one point(in this example I'll use point (1, 18)) into the equation format and solve for b:

y = mx + b

18 = 4(1) + b

18 = 4 + b

14 = b

The y-intercept is 14.

Now that we know the slope and the y-intercept, we can write the equation:

y = 4x + 14

A rectangular room is 11 feet by 18 feet. The ceilings are 10 feet high. If a gallon of paint covers 250 square feet. How many g
Bingel [31]

Answer:

2.32 gallons of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the area of all 4 sides of the room, with the equation A = lw

11(10)

= 110 (for 2 of the walls)

18(10)

= 180 (for the other 2 walls)

Add these up:

110 + 110 + 180 + 180

= 580

Then, divide this by 250:

580/250

= 2.32

So, 2.32 gallons of paint will be needed to paint the room.

Where does the circumference of each kind of triangle lie? Question 1 options: Inside the triangle. Outside the triangle. On the
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Inside the triangle - Acute Triangle

Outside the triangle - Obtuse Triangle

On the hypotenuse - Right Triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

The <u>circumcenter</u> is the point where the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle intersect.

In the special case of a right triangle, the circumcenter lies exactly at the midpoint of the hypotenuse.

The circumcenter of an acute triangle lies inside the triangle.

The circumcenter of an obtuse triangle lies outside the triangle.
