Answer:

55 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Jim ran 15 miles in 5 days

no. of miles ran in 5 days = 15 miles

dividing LHS and RHS by 5

no. of miles ran in 5/5(=1) days = 15/5 miles = 3 miles

no. of miles ran in 1 day =  3 miles

let the no. of days taken to run 165 miles be x   ----A

No of miles ran in x days = x*no. of miles ran in 1 day = 3x miles

thus,  From A

3x  = 165

x = 165/3 = 55

Thus, it took 55 days for JIM to run 165 miles

The altitude drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle divides the hypotenuse into segments such that their lengths are in rat
Zanzabum

In geometry, it would be always helpful to draw a diagram to illustrate the given problem.

This will also help to identify solutions, or discover missing information.

A figure is drawn for right triangle ABC, right-angled at B.

The altitude is drawn from the right-angled vertex B to the hypotenuse AC, dividing AC into two segments of length x and 4x.


We will be using the first two of the three metric relations of right triangles.

(1) BC^2=CD*CA (similarly, AB^2=AD*AC)

(2) BD^2=CD*DA

(3) CB*BA = BD*AC


Part (A)

From relation (2), we know that

BD^2=CD*DA

substitute values

8^2=x*(4x) => 4x^2=64, x^2=16, x=4

so CD=4, DA=4*4=16 (and AC=16+4=20)


Part (B)

Using relation (1)

AB^2=AD*AC

again, substitute values

AB^2=16*20=320=8^2*5

=>

AB

=sqrt(8^2*5)

=8sqrt(5)

=17.89 (approximately)

The total weight of a fully loaded coal truck is 4 tons. The ratio of the weight of the truck to the weight of the coal is 7:5.
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

total weight is 4 tons.

ratio of weight of truck to weight of coal is 7:5....added = 12

so 7/12 of the total weight is the truck's

and 5/12 of the total weight is the coal

7/12 of 4 tons = 7/12 * 4 = 28/12 = 2 1/3 tons <== weight of truck

5/12 of 4 tons = 5/12 * 4 = 20/12 = 1 2/3 tons <== weight of coal

2x+3y=51

x=-y+21

2(-y+21)+3y=51

-2y+42+3y=51

y+42=51

y=9
