Answer:

The train need to leave Portland at 03:27 am

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find out how long it takes the train to travel from Portland, Oregon, to Los Angeles, California

Remember that

The speed is equal to divide the distance by the time

so

The time is equal to divide the distance by the speed

Let

s ---> the speed in miles per hour

d ---> the distance in miles

t ---> the time in hours

t=\frac{d}{s}

we have

d=963\ mi

s=60\ mi/h

substitute

t=\frac{963}{60}=16.05\ hours

step 2

Adds 30 minutes (time it takes to get from the train station to her aunt's house)

Remember that

30\ minutes=0.50\ hours

16.05+0.50=16.55\ hours

Convert to minutes

16.55\ h=16.55(60)\ min=993\ min

step 3

Remember that

8 p.m=20:00\ hrs

Convert to minutes

20(60)=1,200\ min

Subtract 993 minutes from 1,200 minutes

1,200-993=207\ min

Convert to hours+minutes

207\ min=207/60=3.45\ hours

0.45\ h=0.45(60)=27\ min

so

3\ h+27\ min

00:00 + 03:27=03:27\ am

therefore

The train need to leave Portland at 03:27 am

Two quantities, x and y, are directly proportional. If x is doubled, what happens to y?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

y is also doubled.

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct proportionality between x and y means that

y \propto x

or

y=cx,

which indicates a linear relationship between  x and y because they are related by a constant.

Therefore, if x is doubled, then the new value of y is y_{new}

y_{new}=c(2x)

y_{new}=2(cx)

y_{new}=2y

The new value of y is 2 times the previous; therefore, y is doubled as x is doubled.

Matthew's dad hired him to paint 6 wooden patio chairs for $125. It takes him 9 hours to paint all of the chairs. If it takes th
frozen [14]

Given:

Matthew's dad hired him to paint 6 wooden patio chairs for $125.

Time taken by him to paint all of the chairs = 9 hours.

It takes the same amount of time to paint each chair.

To find:

The fraction of an hour does it take Matthew to paint one chair

Solution:

Total time = 9 hours

Total number of chairs = 6

Now, time taken by Matthew to paint one chair is

\dfrac{\text{Total time}}{\text{Total number of chairs}}=\dfrac{9}{6}

\dfrac{\text{Total time}}{\text{Total number of chairs}}=\dfrac{3}{2}

Therefore, Mattew takes \dfrac{3}{2} of an hour to paint one chair.

Thinking with a model: On dividing the total time by total number of chairs we get time taken by Mattew (in hours) to paint one chair. So, the result represents the fraction of an hour taken by Matthew to paint one chair.

Jack is looking to buy a soda at the store. He notices that a 20oz bottle of soda costs $1.20 and a 12 oz can of soda costs $0.8
aleksley [76]

Unit price = price / quantity

1.20 / 20 = 0.06 per ounce

0.85 / 12 = 0.071 per ounce

The better deal is the 20 oz for $1.20
