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

Answer:

The m∠YXW is 125°.

Addition equation: m∠YXW = m∠YXZ + m∠ZXW = 85° + 40° = 125°

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the m∠YXW you would need to add the m∠YXZ and m∠ZXW together:

m∠YXW = m∠YXZ + m∠ZXW = 85° + 40° = 125°

Well buying organic is expensive because the product is much much harder to grow. No pesticides or fertilizer means there's a ve
kolezko [41]
That is true. It is much cheaper and economically safer for farms to not grow organic foods. I’m fact, sometimes it is even better for the environment for food to not be grown organically as it puts less stress on the farmland.

As a fundraiser, the Music Boosters wrapped gifts at the mall one weekend. Out of the 100 gifts they wrapped, 3/10 were for wedd
dangina [55]

Answer: The fraction of the gifts were for birthdays = \dfrac{33}{100}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: fraction of gifts for weddings = \dfrac{3}{10}

fraction of gifts for baby showers = \dfrac{37}{100}

Rest of the gifts = 1-\dfrac3{10}-\dfrac{37}{100}

=\dfrac{100-30-37}{100}\ \ \ [\text{Making like fractions}]\\\\=\dfrac{100-67}{100}\\\\=\dfrac{33}{100}

Hence, the fraction of the gifts were for birthdays = \dfrac{33}{100}.

A rectangle has length 127.3 cm and width 86.5 cm, both correct to 1 decimal place. Calculate the upperbound and the lowerbound
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Correct to 1dp

127.3 cm = 127.0 cm

86.5 cm = 87.0 cm

Upper limits:

127.0 cm = 127.05 cm

87.0 cm = 87.05 cm

Lower Limits:

127.0 cm = 126.95 cm

87.0 cm = 86.95 cm

upper limit of perimeter of rectangle:

P = 2(l+w)

= 2(127.05 + 87.05)

= 2(214.1)

= 428.2 cm

lower limit of perimeter of rectangle:

P = 2(l+w)

= 2(126.95 + 86.95)

= 2(213.9)

= 427.8 cm

therefore;

427.8 cm \leqslant perimeter < 428.2cm
