What does increase mean

1 answer:

Darya [45]3 years ago

8 0

Increase- to be more significant in value, to be of more worth, to have a larger quantity.

Basically, if I said I added 2 to 5, that would be an increase.

2+5=7 7 is bigger than 5.

If I subtracted 2 from 5, that would make a decrease in value.

5-2=3 3 is smaller than 5.

I hope this helps!

It takes a train 60 seconds to completely drive through a bridge of 1260 m, and 90 seconds to completely drive through a tunnel

Olegator [25]

The length of train is 120 meters

The speed of train is 25 meter per second

<u><em>Solution:</em></u>

The speed is given by formula:

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

Given that,

It takes a train 60 seconds to completely drive through a bridge of 1260 m

And 90 seconds to completely drive through a tunnel of 2010 m

Let the length of the train be "x"

<em><u>The total distance travelled by the train across the bridge is given by:</u></em>

total distance = x + 1260 + x = 2x + 1260

[ here we use x + x to represent that train completely drives through bridge ]

The time taken is given as 60 seconds

<em><u>Therefore, the speed is given as:</u></em>

$speed = \frac{2x+ 1260}{60}$

<em><u>The total distance travelled by the train through the tunnel is given by:</u></em>

total distance = x + 2010 + x = 2x + 2010

The time taken is given as 90 seconds

<em><u>Therefore, the speed is given as:</u></em>

$speed = \frac{2x+ 2010}{90}$

The speed of the train was the same in both cases.

Equate both speeds

$\frac{2x+ 1260}{60} = \frac{2x+ 2010}{90}$

$\frac{x+630}{30} = \frac{x+1005}{45}$

$45(x+630) = 30(x+1005)\\\\45x + 28350 = 30x + 30150\\\\45x - 30x = 30150 - 28350\\\\15x = 1800\\\\x = 120$

Thus length of train is 120 meters

<em><u>Find the speed of train:</u></em>

$speed = \frac{2x+ 1260}{60}\\\\speed = \frac{2(120) + 1260)}{60}\\\\speed = 25$

Thus speed of train is 25 meter per second
