We should know that ⇒ 1 lb = 16 oz

The amount of purchased celery = 12 lb = 12 * 16 = 192 oz
<span>Trim and cut it into pieces, ending up with 5.5 oz of trim.

Which polynomial is in standard form?
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

D). 5x^7y^2+7x^6y^5-14x^3y^7+51x^2y^9

Step-by-step explanation:

For better clarity let us re write the options

A).2xy^3+3x^3y^4-4x^4y^5+9x^5y^6

B).8x^5-5y^4-2xy^5+x^2y

C).x^3y^2-3x^2y-9x^4y^3+11x

D).5x^7y^2+7x^6y^5-14x^3y^7+51x^2y^9

To express polynomial with mixed variables in standard form, we begin by the highest coefficient of x to the smallest (we place high precedence on the coefficient  x terms)

An express train travels 80km/h from Ironton to Wildwood. A local train, traveling at 48km/h, takes 2 hours longer for the same
masha68 [24]

Answer:

They are 240 kilometers apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using the following relation:

v = \frac{d}{t}

In which v is the velocity, d is the distance and t is the time.

An express train travels 80km/h from Ironton to Wildwood.

Here we have v = 80, t = x. So

v = \frac{d}{t}

80 = \frac{d}{x}

d = 80x

A local train, traveling at 48km/h, takes 2 hours longer for the same trip.

This means that when v = 48, t = x + 2[tex]. So[tex]v = \frac{d}{t}

48 = \frac{d}{x+2}

Since d = 80x

48 = \frac{80x}{x+2}

Applying cross multiplication

80x = 48(x + 2)

80x = 48x + 96

32x = 96

x = \frac{96}{32}

x = 3

So the distance is:

d = 80x = 80*3 = 240

They are 240 kilometers apart.
