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}

A company has six employees.The salary of five of the employees are P2200,P1300,P800,P940 and P560.When the sixth employee is in
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

First answer is 1200

Second answer is 900 for each new employee

Step-by-step explanation:

First answer:

2200+1300+800+940+560+x = 7000

5800+x = 7000 subtract 5800 from both sides and you get your answer

x = 1200

Second answer:

x = 900.  Each of the two employees made 900 a month or 1800 a month for both of them.

To find the average we take the total salaries and divide by the number of people to find the average salary.  In this case, we know the average and we know all of the salaries, but two.  We can figure this out.

(7000 + 2x)/8 = 1100  multiple both sides by 8 to clear the fraction/

7000 +2x = 8800  Subtract both sides by 7000

2x = 1800  Divide both sides by 2

x = 900

Jack crawled 3 ft and Christine crawled 3⁄4 the distance Jack crawled. If you add the distance they each crawled together, what
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
Christine crawled:
3 ft* (3/4)= 2.25 ft.

3 ft+ 2.25 ft= 5.25 ft

We already know that 1 ft= 12 in.

5.25 ft* (12in/ 1 ft)= 63 in.

The total distance the two children crawled together is 63 in~

Please help which property is illustrated by this example (5 . 15) . 4 = 5 . (15 . 4)
Talja [164]

Answer:

This is the commutative property of multiplication.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know this because that property states that it does not matter what order the numbers are multiplied together, as long as they are all being multiplied. So even though the numbers change on both sides, it does not affect the answer.
