Time taken for hare to catch up with the tortoise will be found as follows:
time taken=distance/(relative speed)
relative speed=(speed of hare-speed of tortoise)
speed of hare=500/20=25 cm/sec
speed of tortoise=250/50=5 cm/sec
relative speed will be:
(25-5)=20 cm/ sec
thus the total time taken for hare to catch up with the tortoise will be:
1000/20
=50 sec

Answer: 50 sec

Answer:

42.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the main triangle is,

h = 47√3/2 (since it's an 30-60-90 triangle)

so to find x,

tan(44) = h/x

x = h/tan(44)

x = 42.1 (rounded to the nearest tenth)

What is the discount rate for a $120.00 camera that is on sale for $105.00?
balu736 [363]
<span>The resent value, also called "discounted value," is the current worth of the camera. So, we know that the discounted value is $105.00.
The first price of the camera was $120.00.
This means that the price is decreased. In order to calculate the discount rate we should find out how many percent the camera was discounted. 105 from 120 is: 105/120*100=87.5
So, the discount is 100-87.5=12.5 %.
