Distance = speed * time
d = st

The sports car travels d distance for t time at speed, s, 95 mph until it overtakes the family
car.
The equation for the sports car is
d = 95t

The family car travels the same distance, d, but since it left 4.5 hours earlier  than the sports car, it travels for t + 4.5 time until it is overtaken. It travels at speed, 35 mph.
The equation for the family car is
d = 35(t + 4.5)

We solve the two equations as a system of equations.

d = 95t
d = 35(t + 4.5)

Since d = d, set the right sides of the equations above equal to each other.

95t = 35(t + 4.5)

95t = 35t + 157.5

60t = 157.5

t = 2.625

The answer is 2.625 hours, or 2 hours, 37 minutes, and 30 seconds.

Check:
In 2.625 hours, the sports car travels: 95 mph * 2.625 h = 249.375 miles
The family car traveled 2.625 hours plus the extra 4.5 hours, or 7.125 hours.
In 7.125 hours, the family car travels 35 mph * 7.125 h = 249.375 miles.
The cars have traveled the same distance 2.625 hours after the sports car left, so our answer is correct.

dusya [7]

Answer:

k = 37

Step-by-step explanation:

k = 13t - 2     Since the input, t, is 3, substitute it.

k = 13(3) -2   Multiply

k = 39 - 2     Subtract

k = 37

Which fraction is larger 7/16 or 51/100?
zaharov [31]
51/100 would be larger
From the first look, I already know half of 100 is fifty and 51 is greater than that
So when I looked at 7/16, I was looking for something greater than half, but 7 is greater than half of 16.
51/100 is your answer

During a certain epidemic, the number of people that are
qaws [65]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1367 people

Step-by-step explanation:

The wording "a rate proportional to the number" indicates the function is exponential. The growth factor is 1200/1000 = 1.2 in 7 days, so the exponential function can be written ...

  i(t) = 1000(1.2^(t/7))

After 12 days, the number infected is modeled as ...

  i(12) = 1000(1.2^(12/7)) ≈ 1367

About 1367 people are infected 12 days after discovery.
