Answer: -1/2 and 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
If the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles in a jar is 3 to 8, the meaning is for every 3 red marbles there are 8 blue marbles.
3 red marbles------------------8 blue marbles.
ratio=3/8
we have 40 blue marbles; we have to compute the number of red marbles.
1) Method 1; by the rule three.
3 red marbles-----------------8 blue marbles
x----------------------------------40 blue marbles
x=(3 red marbles * 40 blue marbles) / 8 blue marbles=15 red marbles.
answer: B. 15
Method 2: the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles is
ratio=number of red marbles / number of blue marbles
ratio=3/8
if we want to compute the number of red marbles we have to multiply the number of blue marbles by this ratio.
number of red marbles=ratio (red/blue)* number of blue marbles
number of red marbles=(3/8)*40=15

Answer:
The two cars will be almost 188 miles far from each other.
Step-by-step explanation:
Travel Time for Car 1 = t = 3.5 hours
Travel time for Car 2 = t-1 = 3.5 - 1 = 2.5 hours
Average speed of car 1 = 40 mph
Average speed of car 2 = 50 mph
Distance traveled by Car 1 = 40*3.5 = 140 miles
Distance Traveled by Car 2 = 50*2.5 = 125 miles
As both the roads are at a 90 degree angle. The path of the two cars and the joining line of their final position forms a right angle triangle where:
altitude = a = 140
base = b = 125
Distance of cars after 3.5 hours = c = ?
According to Pythagoras theorem:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c^2 = 140² + 125²
c² = 19600+15625
c = √35225
c = 187.68
Almost 188 miles.
