Answer:

  3.2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

When the second car passes the landmark, the first car is (2 h)(40 km/h) = 80 km in front of it.

The second car is traveling 65 -40 = 25 km/h faster, so will make up that 80 km distance in ...

  time = distance/speed

  = (80 km)/(25 km/h) = 3.2 h

So first you want to find how much the second car gains on the first car in one hour.

Since the second car travels 65 kph, but the first travels 40, we can just subtract 40 from 65 to find how much faster the second car is than the first.

65 - 40 = 25

So the second car is 25 kph faster than the first.

Since the first car had a 2 hour head start, we first want to calculate how far away the first car got from the sign before the second car reached the sign.

So just 2 hours * 40 kph, which gives you 80 kilometers.

So now we know the second car has to gain 80 km on the first car in order to overtake it.

Since the second car gains 25 km per hour on the first car, we can just divide 80 by 25.

80 / 25 = 16/5, or in decimal form 3.2.

So the second car will overtake the first car in 3.2 hours, or 192 minutes, which is also 3 hours and 12 minutes.

Javier has a basket of oranges and apples. The number of oranges is 2 more than twice the number of apples in the basket. The di
Vesna [10]
Hello!

Let's put this into a system of equations and have a represent the apples and o represent the oranges.

o=2a+2
0.5o-0.5a=4

Since we can already so what o equals (2a+2) we will substitute it into the second equation and solve for a.

0.5(2a+2)-0.5a=4
1a+1-0.5a=4
1.5a+1=4
1.5a=3
a=2

Now that we know the value of a will put a into the first equation to find o.

o=2(2)+2
o=4+2
o=6

There were 6 oranges and 2 apples.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

(a) 144

(b) 117

(c) 360

(d) 588

(e) 5472

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the LCM of two numbers, first find the prime factorization of each number. Then the LCM is the product of common and not common factors with the larger exponent.

2.

(a)

72 = 2^3 \times 3^2

144 = 2^4 \times 3^2

LCM = 2^4 \times 3^2 = 8 \times 9 = 144

(b)

39 = 3 \times 13

117 = 3^2 \times 13

LCM = 3^2 \times 13 = 117

(c)

72 = 2^3 \times 3^2

90 = 2 \times 3^2 \times 5

LCM = 2^3 \times 3^2 \times 5 = 360

(d)

84 = 2^2 \times 3 \times 7

147 = 3 \times 7^2

LCM = 2^2 \times 3 \times 7^2 = 588

(e)

152 = 2^3 \times 19

288 = 2^5 \times 3^2

LCM = 2^5 \times 3^2 \times 19 = 5472
