3 costumes can be made from 15 feet of fabric

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion can be sued to solve the following problem

Given

Total fabric = 40 feet

Costumes = 8

Fabric = 15 feet

Costumes = ?

Let x be the number of costumes that can be made with 15 feet of fabric

Fabric:Costumes::Fabric:costumes\\40:8::15:x\\\frac{40}{8} = \frac{15}{x}\\40x = 15*8\\40x = 120

Dividing both sides by 40

\frac{40x}{40} = \frac{120}{40}\\x = 3

Hence,

3 costumes can be made from 15 feet of fabric

Jane spent 3 hours exploring a mountain with a dirt bike. First, she rode 55 miles uphill. After she reached the peak she rode f
Neko [114]

Answer:

Her speed on the summit was 35 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Her speed on the summit was "x" mph while her speed while climbing was "x - 10" mph. The distance she rode uphill was 55 miles and on the summit it was 28 miles. The total time she explored the mountain was 3 hours. Therefore:

time uphill = distance uphill / speed uphill = 55 / (x - 10)

time summit = distance summit / speed summit = 28 / x

total time = time uphill + time summit

3 = [55 / (x - 10)] + 28 / x

3 = [55*x + 28*(x - 10)]/[x*(x - 10)]

3*x*(x - 10) = 55*x + 28*x - 280

3x² - 30*x = 83*x - 280

3x²  - 113*x + 280 = 0

x1 = {-(-113) + sqrt[(-113)² - 4*(3)*(280)]}/(2*3) = 35 mph

x2 = {-(-113) - sqrt[(-113)² - 4*(3)*(280)]}/(2*3) = 2.67 mph

Since her speed on the uphill couldn't be negative the speed on the summit can only be 35 mph.
