Let A represent the speed of car A. Using your formula,
.. A*2 = D
.. (A +15)*1.5 = D . . . . . the same distance in a shorter time at a higher speed
Equating the two expressions for D, we get
.. 2A = 1.5(A +15)
.. 2A = 1.5A +22.5 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
.. 0.5A = 22.5 . . . . . . . . .subtract 1.5A
.. A = 22.5/0.5 = 45 . . . .divide by 0.5
Car B was 15 mph faster than this.
Car B traveled at 60 miles per hour.
Answer:
Sue takes 3.3 hours to kayak 11 miles & marty takes 3.5 hours on her horse
Step-by-step explanation:
Sue's kayaking path is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.
so we use a squared + b squared = c squared
10.5^2+3.2^2=c^2
110.25+10.24=c^2
120.49=c^2
10.9768=c
and then because it said to round to the nearest tenth that would be 11.0 miles.
She's going at an average speed of 3.3 mph
that means it takes her about .3 hours to do 1 mile
so it would take her 3.3 hours to go 11 miles
marty is going at an average speed of 7 mph
so she takes 0.14 hours to go 1 mile
0.14 x 25 = 2.5
Answer:
32+33+34
Step-by-step explanation:
If I understand the question correctly, you're looking for 3 different numbers that are all consecutive that add up to be 99. The way I did it was finding 3 consecutive numbers that add to 9. 2, 3, 4. I knew the 10s place had to be a 3 because 30+30+30=90, 2+3+4=9, 90+9=99
To use repeated subtraction, you could keep subtracting 3 until you reach 0.
So, we can do
93-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3=0
This has 31 -3s,
So 91/3 is 31.
