Let n be the speed of train b, and n-16 be the speed of train a. Then:
190/n-16=270/n
190n=270n-4320
80n=4320
n=54 mph
n-16=38 mph

The rays OM , ON , and OP in the figure, coincide at time t=0. At the same instant of time OM and OP rotate in the plane about p
dangina [55]

Note:

Note that the shape is a circle(s), as they all will rotate until they coincide. However, they are rotating towards each other

Step-by-step explanation:

One is rotating at 3°, while the other is rotating at 6°. We do not need to both with ON, for the question is not asking for that segment.

A circle has 360° To solve this, we must know that "the other" must complete a circle and overtake the other one.

So. First, solve for the circle (360°)

360/6 = 60

It takes one of the rays to rotate a full circle 60 seconds.

The other, at the same time, has rotated half way, as:

360/3 = 120

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remember that one of the rays (the one that is faster), completes it's turn twice as fast. This means that you must solve for the mean:

(60 + 120)/2 = 180/2 = 90

90 seconds will be used until one overtakes the other

Crazy boy [7]
Answers:

(a) p + m = 5
     0.8m = 2

(b) 2.5 lb peanuts and 2.5 lb mixture

Explanations:

(a) Note that we just need to mix the following to get the desired mixture:

     - peanut (p) - peanuts whose amount is p
     - mixture (m) - mixture (80% almonds and 20% peanuts) that has an amount of m; we denote this as

By mixing the peanuts (p) and the mixture (m), we combine their weights and equate it 5 since the mixture has a total of 5 lb.

Hence, 

p + m = 5

Note that the desired 5-lb mixture has 40% almonds. Thus, the amount of almonds in the desired mixture is 2 lb (40% of 5 lb, which is 0.4 multiplied by 5).

Moreover, since the mixture (m) has 80% almonds, the weight of almonds that mixture is 0.8m.

Since we mix mixture (m) with the pure peanut to get the desired mixture, the almonds in the desired mixture are also the almonds in the mixture (m). 
So, we can equate the amount of almonds in mixture (m) to the amount of almonds in the desired measure.

In terms mathematical equation,

0.8m = 2 

Hence, the system of equations that models the situation is 

p + m = 5
0.8m = 2

(b) To solve the system obtained in (a), we first label the equations for easy reference,

(1) p + m = 5
(2) 0.8m = 2

Note that using equation (2), we can solve the value of m by dividing both sides of (2) by 0.8. By doing this, we have

m = 2.5

Then, we substitute the value of m to equation (1) to solve for p:

p + m = 5
p + 2.5 = 5   (3)

To solve for p, we subtract both sides of equation (3) by 2.5. Thus,

p = 2.5

Hence, 

m = 2.5, p = 2.5

Therefore, the solution to the system is 2.5 lb peanuts and 2.5 lb mixture.
