Answer:

Gregory will catch up Efren after 26 minutes 40 seconds.

Explanation:

 Distance traveled = Speed x Time

 Speed of Efren = 4 mi/h

 Speed of Gregory = 8.5 mi/h

 Let the time of catch up be t hours.

 Time of journey of Efren before catch up = (t+0.5)hours, since he starts before half hour.

 Distance traveled by Efren = 4 x (t+0.5) miles

 Time of journey of Gregory before catch up = t hours.

 Distance traveled by Gregory = 8.5 x t miles

If they catch up the distance traveled by them is same, so equating both distances.

4 x (t+0.5) = 8.5 x t

4.5t = 2

t = 0.44 hours =26.67 minutes = 26 minutes 40 seconds.

So Gregory will catch up Efren after 26 minutes 40 seconds.

For the equation -4y = 8x whay is the constant of variation
Ierofanga [76]

If you divide both sides by -4 you get

y=-2x

So, you wrote the equation in the form y=kx, and in this form k is the constant of variation. So, the constant is -2.

A jewelry box is in the shape of a rectangular with a volume of 528 cubic inches l. The length of the box is 12 inches and the h
Artist 52 [7]
Volume=length*height*width
528=12*5.5*w

divide both sides by 12
44=5.5w
divide both sides by 5.5
8=w
width is 8 inches

Please please help ASAP! Classify each angle!
Olenka [21]

Answer:

<h3>             Acute Angles: ∠TLS, ∠SLT, ∠ULR</h3><h3>             Right Angles:   ---------</h3><h3>             Obtuse Angles:  ∠RLT, ∠SLU, ∠ULS,</h3><h3>             Straight Angles:  ∠RLS, ∠TLU </h3><h3>             Not angles: ∠TRL </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines intersect at point L, so all angles have a vertex (middle letter) L so there is no angle TRL

Straight angle is a line with dot-vertex, so the straight angles are ∠RLS and ∠TLU.

∠TLS is less than 90° then it is acute angle (∠SLT is the same angle). ∠ULR is vertex angle to ∠TLS, so it's also acute angle.

Two angles adding to straight angle mean that they are both right angles or one is acute and the second is obtuse. ∠TLS is acute so ∠RLT is obtuse (they adding to ∠RLS) and ∠SLU is obtuse (they adding to ∠TLU). ∠ULS is the same angle as ∠SLU.
