Let’s call the speed of the slower car S, then the speed of the other is S+10mph.
At 5pm they have been travelling for 3 hours. The slower car travels a distance 3S and the faster one 3(S+10).
But the two distances must add up to 240 miles so 3S+3(S+10)=240, 3S+3S+30=240, 6S=210, S=35 mph. The faster car’s speed is 45mph. We can see that 3S is the same distance as 3x, so x=S=35 mph, and the distance the faster car travels is 3×45=135 miles.

Ann, Ben, and Cindy were eating strawberries. The ratio of the numbers of berries they ate is 5:5:7. If Cindy ate 30 strawberrie
agasfer [191]

Answer:

170

Step-by-step explanation:

Ann, Ben, and Cindy were eating strawberries.

The ratio of the numbers of berries they ate is 5:5:7.

If Cindy ate 30 strawberries less than Ann and Ben together,

find:

what is the total number of strawberries the three of them ate?

solution:

add the ratios 5 + 5 + 7 = 17

since Cindy ate 30, less than Ann and Ben together so, the equation is

7x = 5x + 5x - 30

7x - 10x = -30

x = 30/3

x = 10

ann 5 x 10 = 50

ben 5 x 10 = 50

cindy 7 x 10 = 70  

total            = 170

One acute angle of a right triangle is 12 degrees more than twice the other acute angle. Fine the acute angles of the right tria
Svetlanka [38]
Let one acute angle be X and one be Y
X+Y=90  -------Eq.1
2X+12=Y
2X-Y=-12------Eq.2
solving eq 1&2 we get,
3x=78
∴X=26
substituting value X in equation.1
X+Y=90
Y=90-26
∴Y=64
⇒answer:- X=26°
                   Y=64°
