Let x and (442-x) represent the distance of the trains traveled. X/90 mph=442-x/80 mph
Cross multiply 80×x =90(442-x)
80x=90×442-90x
170x=90×442
X= 90×442/170
X=234, distance traveled by train going 90mph
234mi/90mph = 2.6 hr, time it takes for the two trains tok meet.
Checking your answer:
90×2.6+80×2.6=234mi+208mi = 442mi

Answer:

Luis has 30 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to setup a system of equations.

If we call the amount of cards Juan has "J", Pedro "P", Maria "M" and Luis "L", we have that:

J + P + M + L = 62

P = J/3

M = J - 3

L = 2J

Substituting P, M and L in the first equation, we have:

J + J/3 + J - 3 + 2J = 62

13J/3 = 62 + 3

13J = 65 * 3

J = 15 cards

The amount of cards Luis has is:

L = 2J = 2 * 15 = 30 cards

Napoleon Crossing the Alps
timama [110]

It took him 2.6 hours to reach the top

Data;

  • Uphill = 6km
  • Downhill = 4km
  • Total time taken = 8 hours

<h3>Speed</h3>

Let us calculate the speed during uphill and downhill

Since the time it took them to descend is twice the time it took them to ascend,

  • Let x represent the time taken to ascend

x + 2x = 8 hours\\3x = 8\\x = \frac{8}{3} \\x = 2.6 hours

From the calculation above, it took him 2.6 hours to reach the top.
