A van moves with a constant speed of 36 miles per hour How long will it take to travel a distance of 177 miles?

Temka [501]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

4 hours 55 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Time, speed, and distance are related by ...

t = d/s

t = (177 mi)/(36 mi/h) = 4 33/36 h = 4 11/12 h

The fractional part of this time is ...

11/12 hour is (11/12)(60) = 55 minutes

The van will take 4 hours and 55 minutes to travel a distance of 177 miles.

A moto maintained a constant speed of 13 miles per hour relative to the water in going 25 miles upstream and then returning. The

MrRa [10]

Answer:

current speed = 12 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

distance / rate = time

time upstream + time downstream = 26

25 / (13-c) + 25 / (13+c) = 26 ( c = current speed)

solve for c = 12 mi/hr

Find the equation of a line that passes through (0,0) that is perpendicular to 2x+3y=-6

Dovator [93]

The slope-intercept form of a line:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept

Convert 2x + 3y = -6 to the slope-intercet form:

$2x+3y=-6$ subtract 2x from both sides

$3y=-2x-6$ divide both sides by 3

$y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-2$

Let $k:y=m_1x+b_1$ and $l:y=m_2x+b_2$

$l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}$

We have $m_1=-\dfrac{2}{3}$

Therefore

$m_2=-\dfrac{1}{-\frac{2}{3}}=\dfrac{3}{2}$

We have the equation of a line:

$y=\dfrac{3}{2}x+b$

Put the coordinates of the point (0, 0) to the equation:

$0=\dfrac{3}{2}(0)+b$

$0=b\to b=0$

Answer: $\boxed{y=\dfrac{3}{2}x}$
