Answer:

y = 460 miles per hr

x = 500 miles per hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the planes be X any

Let their speeds be xmiles/hr and ymiles/hr respectively

x = y + 40 (assuming X is faster by 40miles/hr)

Distance travelled by X to meet Y = 0.75x

Distance travelled by Y to meet X = 0.75y

0.75x + 0.75y = 720 --------1

Put x = y + 40 in eqn 1

0.75(y+40) + 0.75y = 720

0.75y + 30 + 0.75y= 720

1.5y = 690

y = 460 miles per hr

x = 460 +40

= 500 miles per hr

The answer is 20


Reason: so the W is 4 and the L is 6 so you do 4+4=8 then you do 6+6=12 then you add the two together and get 20

miss Akunina [59]
20100 = 16000 * (1.02)^ t

20100/16000 = 1.02^t

1.25625 = 1.02^t

log 1.25625 = t * log 1.02

t = log 1.25625 / log 1.02
= 11.5

The figure below shows a circular fountain in a park with a garden to be planted with flowers. The parks department wants to pla
Dominik [7]

Answer:  The answer is 284.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the garden is an annulus whose,  

Outer diameter = 18 ft  

Inner diameter = 18 ft - 2*3ft = 12 ft

Therefore,  

Outer radius = 18/2 = 9 ft  

Inner radius = 12/2 = 6 ft  

 Area of garden = Area of annulus  

 Area of garden = π*(9 ft)2 - π * (6 ft)2

 Area of garden = 142  

 Given:  

2 flowers are planted per square foot.  

 Therefore for 142 ft2,  

Number of flowers required = 2*142 = 284  

 The answer is 284.
