You figure out how long it would take a car traveling at 25 mph
to cover 360 ft.  Any driver who does it in less time is speeding.

           (25 mi/hr) · (5,280 ft/mile) · (1 hr / 3,600 sec)

       =    (25 · 5280 / 3600)  ft/sec  =  (36 and 2/3) feet per second.

To cover 360 ft at 25 mph, it would take

                360 ft / (36 and 2/3 ft/sec)  =   9.82 seconds .

Anybody who covers the 360 feet in less than 9.82 seconds
is moving faster than 25 mph.
_________________________________

If you're interested, here's how to do it in the other direction:

Let's say a car covers the 360 feet in ' S ' seconds.
What's the speed of the car ?

           (360 ft / S sec) · (1 mile / 5280 feet) · (3600 sec/hour)

       =    (360 · 3600) / (S · 5280)  mile/hour

       =        245.5 / S    miles per hour .

The teacher timed one car crossing both strips in 7.0 seconds.
How fast was that car traveling ?

                   245.5 / 7.0  =  35.1 miles per hour


Another teacher timed another car that took 9.82 seconds to cross
both strips.  How fast was this car traveling ?

                        245.5 / 9.82  =  25 miles per hour

At the football game, 4 hamburgers and 6 soft drinks cost $34, and 4 hamburgers and 3 soft drinks cost $25. Which two equations
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

 4x+6y=34\\\\4x+3y=25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the cost in dollars of a hamburger and "y" the cost in dollars of a soft drink.

The cost of 4 hamburguers can be represented with this expression:

4x

And the cost of 6 soft drinks  can be represented with this expression:

6y

Since the total cost for 4 hamburgers and 6 soft drinks is $34, you can write the following equation:

4x+6y=34   <em>[Equation 1]</em>

 The following expression represents the the cost of 3 soft drinks:

3y

According to the information given in the exercise, the total cost for 4 hamburgers and 3 soft drinks is $25. Then, the equation that represents this is:

4x+3y=25 <em> [Equation 2]</em>

Therefore, the <em>Equation 1 </em>and the <em>Equation 2 </em>can be used to determine the price of a hamburger and the price of a soft drink
