Two trains leave stations 252 miles apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One train travels at 80 miles per hour

while the other travels at 100 miles per hour. How long will it take for the two trains to meet?

First things first, distance = speed x time
So let's have "t" represent the time by both trains.
The first train shall be Train A and the other becoming Train B, so now we have Train A going 80t miles and Train B going 100t miles.


If two trains head toward each other, they will have traveled a total of 252 miles. The faster train will have traveled further (Train B), so the meeting point will be closer to the slower train's starting point (Train A).

So now we do 80t + 100t = 252
Which becomes 180t = 252
And by diving 252 by 180, you'll get that t is 1.4
This would mean they would meet at one hour and 24 minutes.

Consider the triangle A(4,0), B(-2,4), C(0,6)<br> What will be the equation of the altitude BM?
katovenus [111]

Answer:

BM: <u>y = (2/3) x + 16/3</u> with segment length of 2.77

Step-by-step explanation:

AC formula: m = (6-0)/(0-4) = -3/2

(y-0)/(x-4) = -3/2       y = (-3/2)x + 6   ... (1)

BM slope: BM⊥ AC   m = 2/3

BM formula: (y-4) / (x- -2) = (y-4) / (x+2) = 2/3

y-4 = 2/3 x + 4/3

<u>y = (2/3) x + 16/3</u>   ... (2)    -2≤x≤0.31

intercept of AC and BM (M) from (1) and (2): (-3/2)x + 6 = (2/3) x + 16/3

(13/6) x = 2/3      x = (2/3) / (13/6) = 4/13 ≈ 0.31

y = (2/3) (4/13) + (16/3) = (8/39) + (208/39) = 216/39 = 72/13 ≈ 5.54

M (4/13 , 72/13) or (0.31 , 5.54)

segment BM = √(4/13 - -2)² + (72/13 - 4)² = √1300/169 = 2.77

4. The students in Mr. Michael’s art class are decorating a booth for Harvest Day. They have blue cloth that is 60 inches long,
MrRissso [65]

Length of blue cloth is 60 inches , length of gold cloth is 48 inches and length of white cloth is 72 inches.

<u>a.</u>  

As, the length of all pieces are equal, so for getting the greatest possible length of the pieces, we need to find <u>GCF(greatest common factor) of 60, 48 and 72. </u>

First we will factor out all three numbers completely......

60=2*2*3*5\\ \\ 48=2*2*2*2*3\\ \\ 72=2*2*2*3*3

The common factors are: 2, 2 and 3

Thus the GCF = 2*2*3=12

So, the greatest possible length of the pieces without having any cloth left over will be 12 inches.

<u>b. </u>  

For finding the number of pieces for each color cloth, we will just <u>divide the length of each cloth by 12</u>. So...

Number of pieces for blue cloth =\frac{60}{12}=5

Number of pieces for gold cloth =\frac{48}{12}=4 and

Number of pieces for white cloth =\frac{72}{12}=6
