A) The equation that we need to solve is:

(12ft/s)*(- d/(15ft/s) + 300s) = d

B) The distance to the hive is d = 2000ft.

<h3 /><h3>What equation can you use to find the distance of the flower bed from the hive?</h3>

We know that the bee's speed is 15 ft/s from the hive to the flower bed.

Then stays 12 minutes at the flower bed.

Then returns to the hive with a speed of 12ft/s.

The total time of the journey is 17 minutes, discounting the 12 minutes that the bee was in the flower bed, the travel only took 5 minutes.

Now, if the distance between the hive and the flower bed is d, t₁ as the time that the bee needs to go from the hive to the flower bed, and t₂ as the time in which the bee goes from the flower bed to the hive, we can write the system of equations:

t₂ + t₁ = 5min

(15ft/s)*t₁ = d

(12ft/s)*t₂ = d

With that system of equations, we can find the value of d, which is what we want to get.

Isolating t₂ in the first equation we get:

t₂ = - t₁ + 5min

Now we can replace that in the third equation:

(15ft/s)*t₁ = d

(12ft/s)*(- t₁ + 5min) = d

In the first equation we can isolate t₁:

t₁ = d/(15ft/s)

And replace that in the remaining equation:

(12ft/s)*(- d/(15ft/s) + 5min) = d

5 min = 5*60s = 300s

(12ft/s)*(- d/(15ft/s) + 300s) = d

This is the equation we need to solve to find the value of d.

-(12/15)*d + 3600ft = d

3600ft = d + (12/15)*d = (1 + 12/15)*d = (27/15)*d

(15/27)*3600ft = d = 2000 ft

We conclude that the distance to the hive is 2000ft.

PLEASE HELP! 40 POINTS

I'd start with setting up the equations. Calling x the number of students in most popular country 1, and y in country 2.

x + y = 44740

x - y = 5672

now solve for x1 and x2. You can subtract second from first:

0 + 2y = 39068

y = 19534

so

x = 5672 + 19534 = 25206

Add a sentence to answer it in words.

Veseljchak [2.6K]
The volume of rectangular prism is the product of its length, width and height. 
So the volume V of prism with length 1 \frac{1}{4} yards, width 2 \frac{1}{2} yards and height of 4 yards will be:

V=1 \frac{1}{4} * 2 \frac{1}{2} *4 \\  \\ &#10;V=  \frac{5}{4}* \frac{5}{2}*4 \\  \\ &#10;V= \frac{25}{2} \\  \\ &#10;V=12 \frac{1}{2}

Thus the volume of prism as a mixed number in simplest form will be 12 \frac{1}{2} cubic yards

Otis plans to make 3 batches of sidewalk chalk How much plaster of paris does he need
den301095 [7]

Answer:

4\frac{1}{2} cups plaster of paris.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

for one batch of sidewalk chalk = 1\frac{1}{2} cup plaster of paris.

Number of bathes = 3

We need to find quantity of plaster of paris.

Solution:

For making 1 batch of sidewalk chalk = 1\frac{1}{2} cup plaster of paris.

For making 3 batches of sidewalk chalk = 3\times 1\frac{1}{2} cup plaster of paris.

= 3\times \frac{2\times 1+1}{2}

= 3\times \frac{2+1}{2}

= 3\times \frac{3}{2}

= \frac{3\times 3}{2}

= \frac{9}{2}

=4\frac{1}{2}

Therefore, he needed 4\frac{1}{2} cups plaster of paris.
