Answer:

They will meet in 1.8 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, distance between trains = 306 miles

Let they take time 't' to meet each other.

Speed of first train = 90 mph

Speed of second train = 80 mph

Let distance traveled by first train = D_1 miles

Formula for distance:

Distance = Speed \times Time

Distance traveled by first train, D_1 = 90t

Let distance traveled by first train = D_2 miles

Formula for distance:

Distance = Speed \times Time

Distance traveled by first train, D_2 = 80t

Total distance traveled is 306 miles.

i.e.

D_1+D_2=306\\\Rightarrow 90t +80t=306\\\Rightarrow 170t=306\\\Rightarrow t =\dfrac{306}{170}\\\Rightarrow \bold{t=1.8\ hr}

They will meet in 1.8 hours.

Answer: b) they loaded 112356 lbs of cargo

Step-by-step explanation:

When a boat or an object floats in water, the volume of water that it displaces is equivalent to its weight.

When moving into the port, the cargo boat displaced 2200 ft³ of water. Since the density of water is 62.42 lb/ft³ and mass = density × volume, then the mass of the cargo boat on entering the port is

2200 × 62.42 = 137324 lbs

On leaving the port, it displaces 4000 ft³ of water. The mass of the cargo boat on leaving the port is

4000 × 62.42 = 249680 lbs

The difference in both masses is

249680 - 137324 = 112356 lbs

Therefore, they loaded 112356 lbs of cargo

Charlie Carr has a sheet of brass that is 33 inches wide and cuts two pieces that are each 8
denis-greek [22]

Answer: The width of the leftover brass is 17 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to add the width of the pieces cut.  

Mathematically speaking:

8 in +8 in = 16 in

Now, we have to subtract that result to the width of the sheet of brass.

33 in -16 in = 17 in

The width of the leftover brass is 17 inches.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
