Answer: Destiny's speed is 11 mph.

Alicia's speed is 15 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Destiny and Alicia both leave the coffee shop at the same time, but in opposite directions. If they are 78 miles apart after 3 hours, it means that the total distance that they covered in 3hours is 78 miles

Let x represent the speed at which Destiny travelled. If Alicia travels 4 mph faster than Destiny, it means that the speed at which Alicia travelled is (x + 4) mph

Distance = speed × time

Distance covered by Destiny in 3 hours is

3 × x = 3x

Distance covered by Alicia in 3 hours is

3(x + 4) = 3x + 12

Since the total distance is 78 miles, then

3x + 3x + 12 = 78

6x = 78 - 12 = 66

x = 66/6 = 11 mph

Alicia's speed is

11 + 4 = 15 mph

One number is 4 more than another. If 3 times the smaller number is equal to twice the larger number, what is the smaller number
Inga [223]
Represent the unknowns with L and S.  Then 3S = 2L.  L = S + 4.

Solve this system of linear equations for S:

3S = 2L becomes 3S = 2(S+4), or 3S = 2S + 8.  Then S=8.

What is 9 times 52 using mental math property
arsen [322]
Everyone works differently in mental meth.

To calculate 9*52, we note that 9=10-1, so mentally calculate
9(52)
=(10-1)(52)
=520-52   [ subtract 20 from each number]
=(520-20)-(52-20)  
=500-32
=468.

Alternatively,
9*52=9*50+9*2=450+18=468

If  you're good with multiplication and division,
9*52=3*3(52)=3*156=450+18=468

Describe the transformations that will map triangle A to triangle B and illustrate the similarity between the two triangles. A)
wariber [46]

B) Translate 4 units down and rotate 180°

Rule for 180° = (x, y) ---- (-x, -y)

Pick one point on Triangle A. (I picked the pointiest point)

(-5, 6)

Now translate 4 units down.

You will now be on (-5, 2)

Rotate 180°

You will now have (5, -2)

And the pointiest point on Triangle B is (5, -2)

So, B is the correct answer.

The diameter of a cylindrical container is 22cm. If the volume of the container is 1331cm³, calculate its height.
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

3.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Vol=πr²h

Transposing for h,=vol÷πr²

where r=22/2=11cm and taking π=3.142

h=1331/(3.142×(11)²)=3.5cm
