If the two cars are now a straight-line distance of 17 kilometers apart, how far has the northbound car traveled?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vladimir [108]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The northbound car has traveled a distance of 6.2 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The eastbound car has traveled a distance of 5 miles and if a straight line is drawn between the two car's positions it would measure 8 miles.

This forms a triangle which has a hypotenuse measuring 8 miles while one of the other sides measures 5 miles.

Assume the distance traveled by the northbound car is x miles.

Step 2:

So the northbound car has traveled a distance of 6.244 miles. Rounding this off, we get 6.2 miles.

A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 763 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Saturday. There were 63 more cheeseburgers s
Airida [17]
In order to solve this we'll start by assigning variables to hamburgers and cheeseburgers, since these are what we're trying to find. Lets say x = hamburgers and y = cheeseburgers. So we know two things, we know that x+y= 763 (hamburgers plus cheeseburgers sold equals 763, and we know that y= x+63 (cheeseburgers sold equals 63 more than hamburgers sold). Now we have a system of equations. This can be solved most easily by rearranging each equation to each y, and then set them equal to each other:
x+y=763 -> y=763-x, and we already have y=x+63. Set them equal to each other:
x+63 = 763-x (add x to both sides) -> 2x+63 = 763 (subtract 63 from both sides) -> 2x = 700 (divide both sides by 2) x = 350. So we solved for x, which is hamburgers sold, which is what the question asks for, so your answer is 350 hamburgers were sold on Saturday

HELP PLEASE!!! Which of the following is not a true statement about solving two-step equations?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
C= two step equations require all number to be whole number in order to solve.

Here is an example that disproves that:
 .5x + 8= 18
  <u>      -8     -8</u>
<u>.5</u>x = <u>10
</u>.5       .5

x = 20  (.5 is certainly not a whole number but I solved it anyway)

If a rectangular prism was 5 feet long, 5 feet high and 6 feet deep, how much would it weigh if one cubic foot weighed 0.1 tons?
padilas [110]

Answer:

Total weight = 1,500 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

l = 5 ft

b = 5 ft

h = 6 ft

One cubic foot weighed = 0.1 tons

Find:

Total weight

Computation:

Volume = lbh

Volume = (5)(5)(6)

Volume = 150 ft³

Total weight = Volume / 0.1

Total weight = 150 / 0.1

Total weight = 1,500 tons
