Jimmy drove to his cabin on the lake and back. it took 0.6 hours longer to go there than it did to come back. the average speed

on the trip there was 46 km/h. the average speed on the way back was 52 km/h. how many hours did the trip there take

To answer this item, we let x be the distance that Jimmy drove from his origin and back. Given the speeds, the time it takes for him to travel to and fro are,
                                   t1 = x / 46
                                   t2 = x / 52
respectively.

The equation that would best represent the scenario is,
                              x/46 - x/52 = 0.6
The value of x from the equation is 239.2.

The trip there takes x/46 which is equal to 239.2/46 which is also equal to 5.2 hours. The travel from the cabin back took 4.6 hours.

Answer:

9.8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance be x km

T1 be time taken to go to trip

T2 be time taken to go back trip

Time = \frac{distance}{speed}

Average speed on way of trip = 46 km/h

T1 = \frac{x}{46}

Average speed on the way back = 52 km/h

T2 = \frac{x}{52}

According to question

T1-T2 = 0.6

\frac{x}{46}-\frac{x}{56}= 0.6

\frac{26x-23x}{1196}=0.6

3x=1196×0.6

3x=717.6

x=\frac{317.6}{2}

x=239.2 km

T1=\frac{239.6}{46}

T1=5.2 hour

T2=\frac{239.6}{52}

T2=4.6 hour

Total time taken to complete the trip = T1+T2

Total time = 5.2+4.6 =9.8

Hence the correct answer is 9.8 hours

A lamp post with a height of 12 ft casts a shadow of 6 ft. A fire hydrant near it casts a shadow that is 1.5 ft long. How tall i
alex41 [277]

Answer:

3ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Height of lamp, h=12ft

Height of shadow, l=6ft

Height of shadow of hydrant, l'=1.5ft

Let height of hydrant=h'

We have to find the height of fire hydrant.

All right triangles are similar

When two triangles are similar then, the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.

Using the property

\frac{h}{h'}=\frac{l}{l'}

\frac{12}{h'}=\frac{6}{1.5}

h'=\frac{12\times 1.5}{6}

h'=3ft

Hence, the height of fire hydrant=3 ft

-3(4u-v)-5(-v+3u)<br> For 20 points
natita [175]

Answer:

−27u + 8v

Explanation:

−3(4u − v) − 5( − v + 3u)

[ Distribute ]

= (−3)(4u) + (−3)(−v) + (−5)(−v) + (−5)(3u)

= −12u + 3v + 5v + −15u

[ Combine Like Terms ]

= −12u + 3v + 5v + −15u

= (−12u + −15u) + (3v + 5v)

= −27u + 8v

Find the length of the segment that joins the points (-5, 4) and (6,-3).
Helen [10]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf d=\sqrt{170} \ or \  d\approx 13.04}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the length of a segment or the <em>distance</em> between the 2 points. The formula for distance is:

d= \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2

where (x₁ y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the points. We are given the points ( -5, 4) and (6, -3). If we match the number and the corresponding variable, it is:

  • x₁= -5
  • y₁= 4
  • x₂= 6
  • y₂ = -3

Substitute the values into the formula.

d= \sqrt{(6--5)^2+(-3-4)^2

Solve inside the parentheses.

  • 6--5 (Back to back negative signs become a positive)= 6+5 =11
  • -3-4= -7

d= \sqrt{(11)^2+(-7)^2

Solve the exponents.

  • (11)²= 11*11= 121
  • (-7)²= -7*-7= 49

d= \sqrt {(121)+(49)

Add.

d= \sqrt {170}

d=13.0384048104

Even though it's not specified, we could round to the nearest hundredth to make the answer more concise. The 8 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 3 to a 4 in the hundredth place.

  • 13.03<u>8</u>4048104

d\approx 13.04

The length of the segment is <u>√170</u> or approximately <u>13.04. </u>
