Yes. it would be 1 and 18/30 or 1 9/15. it can also be 1 and 3/5 or 8/5
The value of x is
-4x + 8 = 42
-4x = 42 -8
-4x = 34
x = -8,5
Will you please provide more information and state a clear question
Answer:
a) distance covered by hare d1 = 8t
b) distance covered by tortoise d2 = 5t + 550
c) ∆d = 550 - 3t
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Speed of hare u = 8m/s
Speed of tortoise v = 5 m/s
Initial distance of tortoise d0 = 550 m
a) using the equation of motion;
distance covered = speed × time + initial distance
d = vt + d0
For hare;
d0 = 0
Substituting the values;
d1 = 8t + 0
d1 = 8t
b)using the equation of motion;
distance covered = speed × time + initial distance
d2 = vt + d0
For tortoise;
d0 = 550m
Substituting the values;
d2 = 5t + 550
d2 = 5t + 550 m
c) the number of meters the tortoise is ahead of the hare.
∆d = distance covered by tortoise - distance covered by hare
∆d = d2 - d1
Substituting the values;
∆d = (5t + 550) - 8t
∆d = 550 - 3t
