<span>Equation:
distance = distance 
50x = 55(x-(1/2)
50x = 55x - (55/2)
-5x = -55/2
x = 11/2
x = 5 1/2 hrs (time at which the 2nd train overtakes the 1st train)</span>

Answer:

Option 2nd is correct

50(x-0.5) miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Using distance formula:

\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{time}

As per the statement:

A train traveling 50 mph left a station 30 minutes before a second train running at 55 mph. If 55x represents the distance the faster train travels.

Second train data:

Let time taken by second train be  x hrs

Speed = 55 mph

then;

Distance = 55x miles

First train data:

Speed = 50 mph

time = x - \frac{30}{60} = x - \frac{1}{2}

then;

\text{Distance} = 50(x-\frac{1}{2}) miles

Since, the second train travels faster than first train

We have to find the distance of the slower train.

Distance of the slower train = 50(x-0.5) miles

Therefore,  the following algebraic expressions represents the distance of the slower train is,  50(x-0.5)

The sears tower in chicago is 1450 feet high. A model of the tower is 24 inches tall. What is the ratio of the height of the mod
Dominik [7]

Answer:

\frac{1}{725}

The sear tower is 725 times higher than the sears tower model

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The ratio of the height of the model to the height of the actual sears tower is equal to the scale factor

Let

z------> the scale factor

x-------> the height of the model

y-------> the height of the actual

so

z=\frac{x}{y}

we have

x=24\ in

y=1,450\ ft

substitute

z=\frac{24}{1,450}\frac{in}{ft}

simplify

z=\frac{12}{725}\frac{in}{ft}

Remember that

1\ ft=12\ in

so

\frac{12}{725}\frac{in}{ft}=\frac{1}{725}\frac{ft}{ft}
