Two ice skaters started on opposite ends of a 200-foot-long rink and then skated toward each

Mathematics
1 answer:
SSSSS [86.1K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The proportion that can be used to find x is;

(200-x)/x = 7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, we want to find the proportion which can be used to find x.

From the question, we are told that the father skater traveled 7 ft for every 6 ft of the slower skater;

this means that the ratio of their speed is 7:6

Now, when they passed each other , the slower skater has traveled x ft, what this means is that the faster skater will have traveled a distance of (200-x) ft at that moment they passed each other.

Mathematically, since their time is equal i.e the time they used to pass each other, then, the ratio of their distances is same as the ratio of their speeds;

Hence;

(200-x)/x = 7/6 or x/(200-x) = 6/7

Which equation can be used to solve for c?
AlladinOne [14]
From the given triangle in the photo, the lengths of the sides are 3m and a, the hypotenuse is c. One angle, opposite of 3m is given to be 50 degrees C. The right equation that would solve c is,
                                         sin (50 degrees C) = 3m / c
Thus, the answer is the first choice.

How do I find miles per hour from 2 fractions? For Example: If I ran for 1/2 miles when It lasted 1/3 of an hour. Would It be 1/
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

3/2 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

How do I find miles per hour from 2 fractions? For Example: If I ran for 1/2 miles when It lasted 1/3 of an hour. Would It be 1/6?

Given data

distance= 1/2 miles

time= 1/3 hour

Speed= distance/time

Substitute

Speed= 1/2/1/3

Speed= 1/2*3/1

Speed= 3/2 miles per hour

What is the difference between a rate that is compounded annually and a rate that is compounded semiannually
8090 [49]

Answer:

the rate compounded semi-annually is compounded twice in a year. thus, this rate is higher than the rate compounded annually which is compounded once in a year

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r/m)^mn

FV = Future value  

P = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years

m = number of compounding

For example, there are two banks

Bank A offers 10% rate with semi-annual compounding

Bank B offers 10% rate with annual compounding.

If you deposit $100, the amount you would have after 2 years in each bank is

A = 100x (1 + 0.1/2)^4 = 121.55

B = 100 x (1 + 0.1)^2 = 121

The interest in bank a is 0.55 higher than that in bank B
