Answer: Tiffany 15mph, Maggie 20mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the equation 4((x+5) + x) = 140. x+5 represents how many miles Maggie covered in one hour. x represents how much Tiffany traveled in one hour. 140 is the number of miles in total. 4 is the number of hours in total.

Simplify the equation.

(x+5) + x = 35    Divide both sides by 4

2x+5 = 35         Combine like terms

2x = 30              Subtract 5 from both sides

x = 15                 Divide both sides by 2

Tiffany traveled 15mph, while Maggie traveled 15+5=20mph.

An animal reserve has 40,000 elk. The population increases 11% a year. How long tell the population is equal to 80,000. If someo
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

7 years (This answer is to the nearest year)

Step-by-step explanation:

The way you could work this out is by trial and error. 11 % a year means that its population increases by 4400 annually. 40,000 X 1.11^1 gives you the amount it would be after one year (44000). I got the 1.11 because of the percentage (0.11) plus the amount you need to do percentage increase (1). Then all you do is keep on going up till you hit the number you need (80,000) after about 7 years the total would have hit 80,000 and would have actually went past it (83046)

A student has passed 60 percent of the 20 quizzes he has written so far successfully. If the student writes 50 quizzes during th
NikAS [45]

60% of 20 quizzes = 60/100*20 quizzes = 12 quizzes

Amount of quizzes remaining = 50 quizzes - 20 quizzes = 30 quizzes

He passes 80% of those 30 quizzes, so

80/100 * 30 quizzes = 24 quizzes

So, he passed 12 quizzes from the initial bunch and 24 quizzes from the rest, which totals to 12 quizzes + 24 quizzes = 36 quizzes.

Then, you see that he passed 36 quizzes, out of the total 50 quizzes, so the ratio is 36 quizzes / 50 quizzes = 36/50, which when converted as a percentage is 36/50 * 100% = 72%.

Therefore, he passed 72% of the quizzes for the entire year.
