Answer: After 16 seconds the boats will be traveling the same speed.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Mike is driving a boat at 12 mph and is increasing his speed by 0.2 mph each second.
Mike's spewed after x seconds = 12 + 0.2x
Hank is driving a boat at 26.4 mph and is decreasing his speed by 0.7 mph each second.
Hank's speed after x seconds = 26.4 -0.7 x
As per given,
12 + 0.2x = 26.4 -0.7 x
Subtract 12 from both sides
0.2x= 26.4-12-0.7x
⇒ 0.2x= 14.4-0.7x
Add 0.7xn on both sides , we get
0.2x+0.7x= 14.4
⇒ 0.9x = 14.4
Multiply 10 on both sides, we get
9x=144
Divide both sides by 9 , we get x= 16
Hence, after 16 seconds the boats will be traveling the same speed.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
When two lines cross into any kind of x shape , four angles are made. if you look at one angle, there are two on either side. These are NOT vertical angles. The third angles though is vertical from the starting angle.
Say you have 3 cakes. How many cakes would you have eaten if you ate 1/3 of the three cakes? One, you have eaten one cake, out of the three you have.
How many cakes do you have left if you eat 2/3 of the three cakes? Two, you have eaten 2 cakes, and have 1 cake left.
It is a similar approach here, except the confusing part is working "forward", when you really have to work "backward". If you have driven 30 miles, and you have driven 2 parts out of the trip when there is 3 parts of the trip, how many miles have you driven? Hint: Dividing 30 by 2 gives you what fraction of the distance to Jeff's grandmother?
The larger number is 6 and the smaller one is 2.
