Answer:

speed of westbound car= 50 miles/hour

speed of eastbound car = 50 + 4 = 54 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of westbound car = x

According to given scenario, speed of eastbound car will be = x + 4

Now

Distance given = 208 miles

Total time = 2 hours

As both cars pass each other so by using the formula beloe:

Speed of both cars = Distance / Time

x +  (x + 4) = 208 / 2

2x +4 = 104

Subtracting 4 from both sides

2x = 104 - 4

2x = 100

Dividing both sides by 2

x (speed of westbound car)= 50 miles/hour

x + 4 (speed of eastbound car) = 50 + 4 = 54 miles/hour

i hope it will help you!

A line has a rise of 6 and a slope of 1/20 . What is the run?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{ Slope }=\frac{\text{ Rise }}{\text{ Run }}.

Plug in the information given:

\frac{1}{20}=\frac{6}{\text{ Run }}.

Now we want to solve this equation for Run.

If you don't like Run as a variable, let's just use x in it's place:

\frac{1}{20}=\frac{6}{x}

Cross multiply:

1(x)=20(6)

Simplify both sides:

x=120

The run is 120.

Let's check our work.

\text{ Slope }=\frac{\text{ Rise }}{\text{ Run }}.

So if our rise is 6 and our run is 120.

Does 6/120 reduce to 1/20?

6 and 120 do have a common factor of 6.

So if you divide top and bottom of 6/120 by 6 you do get 1/20.

Which number would divide the numerator and the denominator of the first
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

2/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numerator and denominator be x/x

10/12÷x/x=5/6

10x/12x=5/6

x/x=5/6÷10/12

x/x=5/6×12/10

x/x=2/2

Therefore the numbers are 2/2
