60 miles per hour. In two miles the sum of the distance the two trains traveled was 200 miles, you divide that by 2, the sum of the speed of the two trains is 100 miles per hour, now put the speed of the slow train as  x and the fast as x +20, the sum of x and x +20 is 100, so 2x + 20 =100, you subtract 20 from both sides, 2x = 80, divide by 2, x = 40, the problem asks for the speed of the fast train, so, x + 20 is 60.

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

slow train = x

fast train = x + 20

First we get the amount of distance both trains have covered

500 - 300 = 200

Next we have to divide it by the number of hours it took

200 ÷ 2 = 100

Then we write our equation

x + x + 20 = 100

2x + 20 = 100

Subtract 20 from both sides

2x = 80

Divide 2 from both sides and your left with

x = 40

Next we write our expression for the faster train

x + 20

Since we found that x is 40, we plug it into the expression which is

now an equation and we get...

40 + 20 = 60

Answer = 60 mph

Skye's two new aquariums each hold exactly 200 gallons of water. One aquarium will hold small fish and the other will hold large
Natasha_Volkova [10]
Answer=140 fish

200 gallons of water in the first aquarium.

200 gallons of water in the second aquarium.

The first will be for the small fishes.

   5 small fish            x fish
_____________=__________
     10 gallons        200 gallons

cross multiply
10x=1000
divide both sides by 10
x=100 small fish

The first aquarium has 100 small fish.

The second aquarium holds large fish.

   8 large fish            x fish
____________=___________
    40 gallons        200 gallons

cross multiply
40x=1600
divide both sides by 40
x=40 large fish

The second aquarium has 40 large fish.

100small fish+40 large fish=140 total fish

The formula for the volume of a sphere is v= 4/3 3.14rWhat is the formula solved for r?
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

r = \frac{3}{4\pi}V

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the formula for the volume of a sphere is:

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

\frac{3}{4}V = \pi r^3

\frac{3}{4}V\frac{1}{\pi} = r^3

r^3 = \frac{3}{4\pi}V

r = \sqrt[\leftroot{-2}\uproot{2}3]{\frac{3}{4\pi}V}
