Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Warehouse 1:

Mass of potatoes = 210 tons

Day 1

90x + 210 tons

Warehouse 2:

Mass of potatoes = 120 tons

Day 1

120x + 210 tons

Where x is the number of days

180 + 120x = 1.2 (210 + 90n)

180 + 120x = 252 + 108x

120x - 108x = 252 - 180

12x = 72

x = 6.

Answer:

6days

Step-by-step explanation

Let's make an equation from this expression.

From the number of potatoes at the first warehouse after x days is:

y = 210 + 90x .............. 1

From the number of potatoes at the second warehouse after x days is:

y = 180 + 120x .............. 2

First warehouse having 1.2times

y = ( 210 + 90x ) × 1.2

y = 252 +108x ................... 3

Now, equate 2 and 3

252 + 108x = 180 + 120x

252 - 180 = 120x - 108x

72 = 12x

x = 72/12

x = 6

Now, substitute 6 into equation 1 and 2

From 1 , y = 210 + 90x

y = 210 + 90 ×6

y = 210 + 540

y = 750

From equation 2

y = 180 + 120x

y = 180 + 120×6

y = 180 + 720

y = 900

Recall that equation 1 was to be 1.2times

From the answer in equation 1

y =750

y = 750 × 1.2

y = 900

Hence, the answer is correct.

Students who party before an exam are twice as likely to fail as those who don't party (and presumably study). If 20% of the stu
True [87]

Answer:

The fraction of the students who failed to went partying = \frac{1}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total number of students = 100

No. of students partied are twice the no. of students who not partied.

⇒ No. of students partied = 2 × the no. of students who are not partied

No. of students partied before the exam = 20 % of total students

⇒ No. of students partied before the exam = \frac{20}{100} × 100

⇒ No. of students partied before the exam =  20

No. of students who not partied before the exam = \frac{20}{2} = 10

Thus the fraction of the students who failed to went partying = \frac{10}{100} = \frac{1}{10}

Two jets simultaneously started traveling in opposite directions from the same airport. Four hours later they were 3800 miles ap
Basile [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

the slower plane traveled x miles in 4 hours.

the faster plane traveled x + 4×80 = x + 320 miles in 4 hours.

so,

x + x + 320 = 3800 miles

2x =3480 miles

x =1740 miles (in 4 hours) .

that means the slower plane's speed was 435 mph.

and the faster plane's speed was 435 + 80 = 515 mph.

1. m angle 2 = 122

m angle 2 is congruent to m angle 4

2. m angle 1 = 58

m angle 1 is supplementary to m angle 2, so their sum is 180. Thus, m angle 1 + 122 = 180, so m angle 1 = 180 -122 = 58.
