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

Umbers to complete the problems below. 14. Marcy lives 1.15 miles away from her grandmother. What fraction represents the distan
joja [24]

Based on the information given, it should be noted that the fraction to represent the distance will be 1 3/20 miles.

<h3>How to convert decimal to fractions.</h3>

From the information given, it was stated that Marcy lives 1.15 miles away from her grandmother.

Therefore, the fraction that represents the distance between Marcy's house and her grandmother's will be:

= 1 + 15/100

= 1 + 3/20

= 1 3/20

Therefore, the fraction is 1 3/20.

I need help on both of these please///:(
SCORPION-xisa [38]

14. The distance between the two points is 14.866.

Distance can be calculated with the following formula:

d=√(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²

d=√(12-2)²+(5-(-6))²

d=√10²+11²

d=√100+121

d=√221

d=14.866

15. The distance between the two points is 20.248.

Use the same formula to find the distance.

d=√(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²

d=√(4-(-3))²+(12-(-7))²

d=√7²+19²

d=√49+361

d=√410

d=20.248

What is the slope and the y-intercept of the graph of the linear function shown on the grid ?
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Slope: -1/4; Y-Intercept: 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the slope. The best way to do this is to transform the two given points to y=mx+b form. When given two points, the best way to find the slope will be to do y2-y1/x2-x1. In this equation it would be -2-0/2+6, which is -2/8, simplified is -0.25 or -1/4. So we have the slope, which can determine the length of the line.

Step 2: Find the Y-Intercept. Finding the Y-intercept is so much simpler when given a graph, since all you have to do is find where the line goes through the y-axis, which in this case is (0,1.5), meaning that the y-intercept is 1.5 <em>(note: the y-intercept can also be found when x=0, for example (0,9).</em>

Hope this helped, good luck!

Find the area of the figure. (Sides meet at right angles.)
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

<h2>80 cm²</h2><h2 />

Step-by-step explanation:

to get the area of the given figure,

we need to split it in to two (see attached)

then area of a rectangle = length x width

A1 = 15 cm x 4 cm = 60 cm²

A2 = 5 cm x 4 cm = 20 cm²

Area = A1 + A2

        = 60 + 20

        = 80 cm²
