Answer: speed = 585/(13/2) = 90 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:speed = distance / time

since they are moving in opposite direction, the time is the sum of the two times = 2 1/2 + 4 = 6 1/2 = 13/2

Divide the total distance by 2, to get the miles each train traveled.

562.5 / 2 = 281.25 miles.

Train A traveled for 4 hours:

281.25 miles / 4 hours = 70.3125 miles per hour.

Train B traveled for 3 1/2 hours:

281.25 miles / 3 1/2 hours = 80.357 miles per hour.

Round the speed of each train as needed.

Izracunaj opseg i povrsinu kruga upisanog u kvadrat stranice duljine 8 cm.
Nutka1998 [239]
(In English), your question would state the following:


<span>Calculate the circumference and circumference of the circle entered in a square 8 cm long.
</span>
So when finding the answer this this question, we know that the circumference would be the complete area of a circle.

So, I believe we would want to find what is the radius and the diameter that would make this circumference 8^c^m.

The radius would then be (1.274).
__________________________________________________________

Now in your own language (Croatian).

<span>Dakle, kad pronađemo odgovor na ovo pitanje, znamo da bi opseg bio cjelokupno područje kruga. Dakle, vjerujem da bismo željeli otkriti što je radijus i promjer koji bi ovaj opseg mogao učiniti 8cm. Radijus bi onda bio (1.274).</span>

Amma hikes 2and3/4 miles of nature trail in 1 hour and 15 minutes. How many miles does Amman hike per hour?
LekaFEV [45]
Formula
====
d = r * t

Givens
======
d = 2 3/4
t = 1 hour 15 minutes 
r = ????

Calculations
==========
You need to convert the 15 minutes to hours.
1 hour = 60 minutes
x hour = 15 minutes

1/60 = x/15
x = 15/60
x = 0.25 hours
so the time = 1 hours + 0.25 hours
t = 1.25 hours

Now you need to do something with the distance.
3/4 mile = 0.75 of a mile
So the distance = 2 + 0.75 = 2.75 miles

Now you are ready for the answer.
d = r * t you are looking for r
2.75 = r * 1.25
r = 2.75/1.25
r = 2.2 miles / hour

Note you could do this with fractions.
2 3/4 = 11/4
1 1/4 =  5/4

r = 11/4 // 5/4 =11/5 = 2 1/5 which is the same thing as 2.2. If your calculator can handle fractions (those kind of calculators cost about 10 dollars in Canada. It should be 8 in the US) that might be the way to do this problem.
