Refer to the diagram shown below.

The velocity of the person on the walkway relative to the ground is the velocity of the walkway (relative to the ground) plus the velocity of the person relative to the walkway.
It is
1.0 + 0.5 = 1.5 m/s

The person on the ground moves at - 0.2 m/s, which is in the opposite direction to that of the walkway and the person on the walkway.
Therefore the velocity of the person on the walkway relative to the person on the ground is
105 - (-0.2) = 1.7 m/s

Answer: 1.7 m/s

Find the value of x and y

Darina [25.2K]

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{x}{2}=3$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow x=2(3)$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow x=6$

And

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{y}{2}+1=3$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{y}{2}=3-1=2$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow y=2(2)$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow y=4$

A waiting room is 2/3 full when 36 people are seated. How many people are in the waiting room when it is 1/2 full?

Ahat [919]

When 36 people are seated the room is 2/3 full.
So for 1/3 , 18 people are needed
It will be 3/3 full if 54 people are present

So there can be 54 people in total

Now for the room to be 1/2 full , people will be 1/2 x 54 = 27 people

A van can travel 18 miles on each gallon of gasoline. at that rate how many miles can the van travel on 15 gallons of gasoline

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

18 / 1 = x / 15......18 miles to 1 gallon = x miles to 15 gallon
cross multiply
(1)(x) = (18)(15)
x = 270 miles
