This is a very good question to know about. People who make tests really like it.

The way to solve it is to make the slower car stop and use the difference in speed = to the rate. then do it as an ordinary d = r*t problem.

The difference in speeds  is 44 - 36 = 8 miles/ hour.
d = 260 miles
r = 8 mph
t = ???

t = d/r
t = 260/8
t = 32.5 hours.

Thats 32 1/2 hours.

Use the given information to prove that RSU=TSV
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Statement,                                                        Reason

Given segment RV = segment TU,                 Given  

m∠R = m∠T,                                                      Given

Segment RS ≅ segment ST,                            Base angles theorem

ΔRSV ≅ ΔTSU,                                                 SAS rule of congruency

Segment SV ≅ segment SU,                          CPCTC

VU ≅ UV,                                                          Reflexive property

RU = RV + VU, TV = TU + UV,                          Addition of segments

RV + VU ≅ TU + UV,                                         Addition property of equality

RU ≅ TV,                                                           Transitive property of addition

ΔRSU ≅ ΔTSV,                                                  SSS rule of congruency

Step-by-step explanation:

Where:

SAS- Side Angle Side

CPCTC -Congruent Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent

SSS -Side Side Side

the ratio of boys to girls at the beach cleanup was 7:8. If there were 43 boys, how many girls were there?
faltersainse [42]
I'm pretty sure there were 48 girls at the beach clean up. 43 ÷ 7 = 6.14 (6 cause there's not gonna be floating males with missing body parts). So we multiply 6 x 8 and we get 48.

I just started the problem, but I'm a bit lost on what to do now.

According to Greg himself (probably a master at pies) says perfect cherry pies have a ratio of 240 cherries to 3 pies. First, we need to divide 240 cherries by 3 pies to find out how many cherries are in one pie.

240 / 3 = 80

Then multiply by 9 to get your answer.

9 * 80 = 720
