When they are both racing on hoverboards, Victoria is 3 times as fast as her brother Max. When she is on foot, she is 3 times sl

ower than Max on his hoverboard. They took off on hoverboards at the same time, but after 12 minutes, Victoria’s hoverboard broke and she immediately started to run. If the race was a tie, how long, in minutes, did it last from start to finish?

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The time will be 48 minutes

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Let r be Max's rate of speed and t be the total time.

Using the equation d = rt for this situation

Victoria is 3 times as fast as Max so her part gives us the expression 3r(12)

For the remaining part of the race, Victoria is 3 times slower than Max.  Lets represent it as 1/3r.  Since we do not know the amount of time she travels this way so we will represent this as 1/3r(t-12)

Together the distance on hoverboard and the distance on foot can be represented by d=3r(12)+1/3r(t-12).

So we have

3r(12)+1/3r(t-12) = rt

Simplifying, we have

36r+1/3r(t)-1/3r(12) = rt

36r + 1/3rt - 12/3r = rt

36r + 1/3rt - 4r = rt

Combining all the like terms,

32r + 1/3rt = rt

Subtract 1/3rt from each side:

32r + 1/3rt - 1/3rt = rt - 1/3rt

32r = 2/3rt

Divide both sides by r we get

32r/r = (2/3rt)/r

32 = 2/3t

Divide both sides by 2/3 we get

32 ÷ 2/3 = 2/3t ÷ 2/3

32 ÷ 2/3 = t

32/1 × 3/2 = t

96/2 = t

Answer:

Race completed in 48 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of Max on hoverboard is = x

Then as per question speed of Victoria on hoverboard = 3x

Now it has been given in the question that speed of Victoria on foot is 1/3 of the speed of Max on hoverboard that will be = x/3

Now we will form the equation.

As we know the formula speed = distance/time

Let the time taken by both to complete the race be t minutes.

Distance covered by Victoria in 12 minutes + Distance covered by Victoria on foot = distance covered by Max on hoverboard

Then the equation will be

12(3x)+(1/3)x(t-12)=xt

36x+\frac{xt}{3}-4x=xt

x(36+\frac{t}{3}-4)=xt

36+\frac{t}{3}-4=t

32=t-\frac{t}{3}

\frac{2t}{3}=32

t=\frac{(32)3}{2}=48

So 48 minutes it took to complete the race.

Suppose we want to choose 3 letters, without replacement, from the 4 letters A, B, C, and D.
ioda

Answer:A) 24 waysB) 4 waysStep-by-step explanation:a) permutation occurrs when order of choices matters.N = 4P3 = 4!/(4-3)! = 4!/1!N = 24 waysb) combination occurs when order of choices doesn't matter.N = 4C3 = 4!/3!(4-3)! = 4!/3!(1!)N = 4 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

a) permutation occurrs when order of choices matters.N = 4P3 = 4!/(4-3)! = 4!/1!N = 24 waysb) combination occurs when order of choices doesn't matter.N = 4C3 = 4!/3!(4-3)! = 4!/3!(1!)N = 4 ways(hope this helps:)

What is 25quarter and 3 nickels and 1pennie represent in decimal form and fraction form?
Vilka [71]
4 quarters is a dollar. So 25 divided by 4 is $6.25. A nickel is 5 cents, so multiply 3 by 5. Giving us $.15. And finally the one penny adds $.01. Add it all together and you get $6.41 for the decimal. Now for the fraction, since 100 cents is $1, the denominator is 100. And since there are $6, it would be 6_41/100 for the fraction.

19. The areas of corresponding faces of two similar hexagonal prisms are 25 cm² and 121 cm². What is the ratios of the correspon
Pie

ANSWER

I) 5:11

ii) 5:11

iii) 125:1331

EXPLANATION

Let the side lengths be in the ratio:

x:y

This implies that the area will be in the ratio:

\frac{ {x}^{2} }{ {y}^{2} }  =  \frac{25}{121}

Take positive square root.

\frac{x}{y}  =  \sqrt{ \frac{25}{121} }

\frac{x}{y}  =  \frac{5}{11}

Hence the sides are in the ratio:

x:y=5:11

The perimeter of the smaller hexagon is 6×5=30

The perimeter of the larger hexagon is 6×11=66

The ratio of the perimeter is

30:66=5:11

The volume will be in the ratio

5³:11³

125:1331
