Answer:

The rate of the slower car = 1.5km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the two cars is 450km

Let the two cars be A and B

One car's rate is 12 kilometers per hour less than the other's

A = 12 + B

Speed = distance/time

Total distance = 45 - x + x

Let distance covered by A = x

Distance covered by B = 45 - x

For A

Speed = distance/time

A = x/3

But A = 12 + B

X = 3(12 + B) ...... (1)

For B

B = (45 - x)/3

45 - x = 3B

X = 45 - 3B ........ (2)

Equate equation 1 and 2

36 + 3B = 45 - 3B

Collect the like terms

6B = 9

B = 1.5 km/h

Therefore, the rate of the slower car is 1.5 km/ h

Suppose you are making granola bars with 3 cups of oats. How much quinoa, flaxseed, and soy protein would you use would you need
Andreas93 [3]

Answer: \frac{3}{4}\ cup of quinoa, \frac{3}{8}\ cup of flaxseed, 1\ cup of soy protein.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The missing table is attached.</h3>

Let be "q" the amount of cups of quinoa you'd need to use making the granolas with 3 cups of oats.

Based on the table you can write the following proportion:

\frac{\frac{1}{2} }{2}=\frac{q}{3}

Solving for "q", you get:

\frac{1}{4}=\frac{q}{3}\\\\q=\frac{3}{4}

 Let be "f" the amount of cups of flaxseed you'd need to use making the granolas with 3 cups of oats.

With the data given in the table you can write the following proportion:

\frac{\frac{1}{4} }{2}=\frac{f}{3}

Solving for "f", you get:

\frac{1}{8}=\frac{f}{3}\\\\f=\frac{3}{8}

Let be "s" the amount of cups of soy protein you'd need to use making the granolas with 3 cups of oats.

Using the table you can write this proportion:

\frac{\frac{2}{3} }{2}=\frac{s}{3}

Solving for "s", you get:

\frac{1}{3}=\frac{s}{3}\\\\s=1

In a certain​ chemical, the ratio of zinc to copper is 3 to 11. A jar of the chemical contains 385 grams of copper. How many gra
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

35 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of zinc to copper is 3 to 11

A jar of chemical contains 385 grams if copper

Therefore the number of grams of zinc it contains can be calculated as follows

3/11= x/385

11x= 385

x= 385/11

= 35 grams

Hence the chemical contains 35 grams of zinc
