Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.

let's say the Eastbound train is going at a rate of "r" mph, since we know the Westbound train is going faster 12 miles more than that, then the Westbound train must be going "r+12".

we also know that after 4 hours, both of them were 760 miles apart, so

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\
&------&------&------\\
Westbound&760&r+12&4\\
Eastbound&760&r&4
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
760=(r+12)(4)\implies 190=r+12\\
760=4r\implies 190=r
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\textit{since we know that r = 190, then }\qquad \stackrel{Westbound}{190+12}

The number of yards of fabric needed for Robs costume is (7/8+1/2+1 3/4)÷2. How does the amount of fabric needed for Robs costum
exis [7]

The amount of fabric needed for Jimmy's costume is not stated, we can only determine the amount needed for Rob's costume, which makes it impossible to compare the amounts needed for both of their costumes. If this omission was an error, then you can find the difference between these amounts if the amount needed for Jimmy's costume is stated explicitly.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of yards of fabric needed for Robs costume is (7/8+1/2+1 3/4)÷2

Assuming 1 3/4 is a mixed fraction.

= (7/8 + 1/2 + 7/4) ÷ 2

= (7 + 4 + 2) ÷ (8 × 2)

= 13/16 yards

Suppose 2 yards of fabric is needed for Jimmy's costume, then comparing with Rob's yards, we see that Jimmy's costume requires (2 - 13/16 = 19/16) more yards than Rob's costume.

Find the area. Please help
Nutka1998 [239]

The answer to your question is 77 because the formula for area for a triangle is A=1/2BH and the base is 11 feet and the height is 14 feet. So, (14•11)/2 is 77. Therefore, 77 squared feet is the answer.
