So first what you want to do is find out how much closer they would be after one hour. Since they're both moving towards each other, that means they gain, 

14 + 16 = 30 m in one hour.

(because they're both moving towards each other, so for the amount they get closer to each other, you want to add both of their speeds)

Since they were originally 180 miles apart, and you want to find how long it would take for them to be 20 miles apart, you want to just subtract 20 from 180 to find the total distance they have to travel.

180 - 20 = 160

Now divide 160 by 30 to find out how many sets of 30 miles, or one hour time periods, there are in 160 miles.

160 / 30 = 16/3 hours.

To make this into minutes, you can just multiply by 60.

16/3 * 60 = 960/3

960/3 = 320

So it'll be 320 minutes before they are 20 miles apart.

Answer:
5.3 hours, or 319.999 or 320 minutes

Explanation: 
If the bicyclists are 20 miles apart, they have travelled 160 miles in total because: 
180 - 20 = 160
Make an equation for the bicyclists traveling 160 miles total: 
14x + 16x = 160
Solve for x:
14x + 16x = 160
30x = 160 
30x ÷ 30 = 160 ÷ 30
x = 5.3 
So after 5.3 hours, both bicyclists have traveled 160 miles, and are 20 miles apart. 
5.3 hours in minutes is 
60 • 5.3 = 319.99 or 320 minutes.

What is 153/4 as a whole number
maw [93]

\frac{4}{3}  =  \frac{51}{n} \\  =  >  \frac{3}{4}   =  \frac{n}{51 }  \\  =  > n =  \frac{3}{4}  \times 51 \\  =  > n =  \frac{153}{4}  \\  =  > n = 38 \frac{1}{4}

Hope you could get an idea from here.

How does the graph of g(x)=⌈x⌉+7 differ from the graph of f(x)=⌈x⌉?
Lorico [155]
The addition of +7 influences the y values of the graph. Since it is positive, the graph of y=IxI would be moved 7 units upwards. 

Hope I helped :)

I really need help with this one please help
Dominik [7]

Yo sup??

a.For this part just draw a triangle with sides 4,8 and 8 inches respectively.

The sides having 8 inches should make equal angle with the base side.

b.One angle is 20

The other two angles be x and y

but x=y because its an isosceles triangle

x+y+20=180

2x=160

x=80

Hope this helps.
