Answer: it will take them 4 hours to be 640 kilometers apart.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t represent the time it will take for both trains to be 640 kilometers apart. It means that the total distance that both trains will covered in t hours is 640 kilometers.
Distance = speed × time
A train leaves Little Rock Arkansas and travels north at 75 kilometers per hour. Distance covered after t hours would be 75 × t = 75t
Another train leaves at the same time and travels south at 85 kilometers per hour. Distance covered after t hours would be 85 × t = 85t
Since the total distance covered is 640 kilometers, then
75t + 85t = 640
160t = 649
t = 640/160
t = 4 hours
Answer:
2.57 might be right. If its not then I'm sorry
Your answer is correct, don't worry!
To check your answer, just plug in the answer you got with the variable you are supposed to find. Multiplying by a half is like dividing by two. So, 16 divided by 2 is 8. 8 multiplied by 8.25 is 66.
I'm jealous of your handwriting.. XD
16^2 is 16•16 so x would equal 256
