Train X is traveling at a constant speed of 30 miles per hour and Train Y is traveling at a constant speed of 40 miles per hour.

If the two trains are traveling in the same direction along the same route but Train X is 25 miles ahead of Train Y, how many hours will it be until Train Y is 10 miles ahead of Train X?

Answer:

3.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of train X=30 mph

Speed of train Y=40  mph

Relative speed When the two trains travelling in same direction

Relative speed=40-30=10 mph

Total distance =25+10=35 miles

We have to find the time when train Y is 10 miles ahead of train X.

We know that

Time=\frac{Distance}{Relative\;speed}

Using the formula

Then, we get

Time=\frac{35}{10}=3.5 hours

Hence, it will be 3.5 hours until train Y is 10 miles ahead of train X.

Answer:

3.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

When train Y is at position 0 train  X is at position 25.

Speed = distance / time.

Suppose the distance  travelled by train X  before  Train Y catches up with him is x miles.

Then we have the system

30 = x/ t

40 = (x + 25) / t     where t is the time in hours.

x = 30t  plug this into the second equation

40 = ( 30t + 25) / t

40t  = 30t + 25

10t = 25

t = 2.5 hours.

Now the time taken for  train Y to get 10 miles ahead  is calculated as follows:

Combined speed = 40 - 30 = 10 mph.

so 10 = 10/t

t = 1 hours.

Answer is 3.5 hours.

AC is tangent to circle O at point C. What is the length of OC
Sedaia [141]

Let OC is x, so OC=OB=x

{4}^{2}  + x^{2}  =  {(2 + x)}^{2}  \\ 16 +  {x}^{2}  = 4 + 4x +  {x}^{2}  \\ 12 = 4x \\ x = 3

Answer: OC=3 points

\bf \cfrac{4}{7}\cdot \cfrac{2}{3}\cdot \cfrac{9}{16}\implies \cfrac{4}{16}\cdot \cfrac{9}{3}\cdot \cfrac{2}{7}\implies \cfrac{1}{4}\cdot \cfrac{3}{1}\cdot \cfrac{2}{7}\implies \cfrac{1}{7}\cdot \cfrac{3}{1}\cdot \cfrac{2}{4}\implies \cfrac{1}{7}\cdot \cfrac{3}{1}\cdot \cfrac{1}{2}\\\\\\\cfrac{1\cdot 3\cdot 1}{7\cdot 1\cdot 2}\implies \cfrac{3}{14}
