An equation for the distance between the friends after time (t) in hours is c = 4t√125.

<h3>How to determine an equation for the distance between the friends?</h3>

In order to determine an equation for the distance between the friends after an amount of time (t) in hours, we would create a mental image of a right-angled triangle because they both head in the opposite (North) and adjacent (East) direction.

Therefore, the distance between them after t hours represent the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle, which can be calculated by using Pythagorean theorem.

Next, we would determine the distance covered by each friend:

For the first friend (North), we have:

Distance, a = speed × time

Distance, a = 40t

For the second friend (East), we have:

Distance, b = speed × time

Distance, b = 20t

By applying Pythagorean theorem, the distance between the friends after an amount of time (t) is given by:

Distance, c² = a² + b²

Distance, c² = (40t)² + (20t)²

Distance, c² = 1600t² + 400t²

Distance, c² = 2000t²

Distance, c = √(16 × 125t²)

Distance, c = √16t² × √125

Distance, c = 4t√125

<u>Note:</u> The prime factorization of 2000 is 2⁴ × 5³ = 16 × 125.

Jose is thinking of a number.
alexira [117]

The number is 66.

Solution:

Let the number be x.

To find the number x using given conditions.

Start with the last condition.

It is less than 7 times 8 + 23 = 7 × 8 + 23 = 79

So, the number is less than 79 which implies x < 79.          

Using condition (4),  

It is greater than 5 times 4 = 5 × 4 = 20

So, the number is greater than 79 which implies x > 20.    

Combining condition (4) and (7), we get 20 < x < 79.

Using condition (3) and (5),

The number is a multiple of 11 and 6.

The number which is multiplied by both 11 and 6 is 66, 132, ...

But here x lies between 20 < x < 79.

So x = 66.

66 is not odd number and the sum of the digits is divisible by 2.

Therefore condition (1) and (2) also satisfied.

Hence the number is 66.

Natalie picked 135 berries in 15 minutes. If she continues picking at that rate, how many total minutes will it take her to pick
Alex777 [14]
Lets focus on what we know first. Natalie can pick 135 Berries in 15 minutes. Lets find out how many berries she can pick per minute.
In order to do so, We have to divide 135 by 15.

135/15=9
This means that Natalie can pick 9 berries per minute. Given that we want her to pick 486, we will need to divide that number by 9 berries to find out how many minutes it will take to get her to that number of berries.

486/9=54

This means that it will take Natalie 54 minutes in order to pick 486 berries.
