Answer: the speed of the first train is 50 mph.

The speed of the second train is 100 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the first train. The second train travels 50mph faster than the first. It means that the speed of the second train is (x + 50) mph.

Distance = speed × time

If the second train overtakes the first at 7:00 PM, it means that both trains covered the same distance by 7:00 PM. The first train left Miami at 3:00PM. Time spent by the first train is 7 - 3 = 4 hours

Distance covered by the first train in 4 hours is 4x

The second train left at 5:00 PM. Time spent by the second train is 7 - 5 = 2 hours

Distance covered by the second train in 2 hours is 2(x + 50)

Therefore,

4x = 2(x + 50)

4x = 2x + 100

4x - 2x = 100

2x = 100

x = 100/2

x = 50 mph

The speed of the second train is

x + 50 = 50 + 50 = 100 mph

Answer:

<em>Well, The volume of the sink shaped like a half sphere is [2000/3] π in^2.</em>

<em />

<em>a) The volume of a cylinder is the area of the base * height</em>

<em />

<em>For this part the cup has a diameter, d, of 4 in and height, h, of 8 in.</em>

<em />

<em>The area of the base is π (d/2)^2 = π (2 in)^2  =  4π in^2.</em>

<em />

<em>The volume of the cuo is 4π in^2 * 8 in = 32π in^3.</em>

<em />

<em>Then the number of cups to take the volume of [2000 / 3] π in^2 is:</em>

<em />

<em>[2000 / 3]π / [32π] = 20.83</em>

<em />

<em>Answer: 21 cups.</em>

<em />

<em>b) For this part the diameter of the cup is 8 in and the height is 8 in</em>

<em />

<em>Then the volume is π (4 in)^2 * 8 in = 128 ⇅ in^3</em>

<em />

<em>And the number of cups needed is [2000π/3] / (128π) = 5.2 </em>

<em />

<em>Answer: 5 cups. </em><em>Good Luck!</em>

<em>From ~Itsbrazts~.</em>

2 fractions have the same denominator. Which is the greater fraction: the fraction with the greater numerator or thr lesser nume
irinina [24]
If two fractions have the same denominator, that means the total number of parts is the same.  For example, you have two batches of cookies, which each have 8 cookies.

But the numerator tells you the number of parts you are dealing with.  Going back to our cookie example, say you ate 3 cookies and your little brother only had 1.  If you ate 3 cookies, you ate 3/8 of the cookies.  Your little brother ate 1/8 of the cookies.

So, which one is the greatest fraction?  In this case, who had more cookies?  That would be you.  So, the greater numerator means a greater fraction.

Answer: the fraction with the greater numerator
