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.

The area of the triangle EFG is 7.4 square units.

Explanation:

Given that the measurements of the sides of the triangle are EF = 8, EG = 8 and m\angle E=22^{\circ}

We need to determine the area of the triangle EFG

<u>Area of the triangle:</u>

The area of the triangle EFG can be determined using the formula,

\text {Area}=\frac{1}{2} fg \sin E

Substituting the values, we get,

\text {Area}=\frac{1}{2} (5)(8) \sin 22^{\circ}

Simplifying the values, we have,

\text {Area}=\frac{1}{2}(40)(0.37)

Multiplying, we get,

\text {Area}=\frac{14.8}{2}

Dividing, we get,

\text {Area}=7.4

Hence, the area of the triangle EFG is 7.4 square units.

The question is Stephen read for 34 minutes on Monday and 45 minutes on Tuesday. Use breaking apart to find how many minutes Ste
user100 [1]
Breaking apart means that you just take the tens from each number, and the ones from each number, then add them up.


The tens from your numbers are:
30 from 34
40 from 45

The ones from your numbers are:
4 from 34
5 from 45

Now, you have to add up the tens and ones separately.
30 + 40 = 70
4 + 5 = 9

Finally, you add up those 2 numbers that you got- 70 and 9

The answer: Stephen read for 79 minutes total.
