A bus travels from Station A to Station B, and a truck travels from Station B to Station A on the same road. The speed of the bu

s is 54 km/h, and the speed of the truck is 48 km/h. After they pass each other, they continue drive to the destinations. Once they reach the destination, they turn around to continue travel along the same road. When they meet again, the bus travels 216 km more than the truck. What is the distance between the two stations in kilometers?

Answer:

The distance between the two train stations is 1728 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of the bus = 54 km/h

The speed of the truck = 48 km/h

When the bus and truck meet again, the distance covered by the bus = 216 km more than he distance traveled by the truck

Let the distance between the two train stations = x

Let the location where they first meet be y from station A we have;

The location where they meet again = y - 216 km

Therefore, we have;

Location where they

The time for the truck and the bus to meet again = t

Therefore, 54 × t - 48 × t = 216 km

6·t = 216 km

t = 36 hours

Therefore, the time for the bus to travel x + 216 km = 36 hours

54 × 36 = 1944 = x + 216

x = 1944 - 216 = 1728 km

The distance between the two train stations = 1728 km.

the 11th term in a geometric sequence is 48 and the common ratio is 4. the 12th term is 192 and the 10th term is what?

Soloha48 [4]

<u>Given</u>:

The 11th term in a geometric sequence is 48.

The 12th term in the sequence is 192.

The common ratio is 4.

We need to determine the 10th term of the sequence.

<u>General term:</u>

The general term of the geometric sequence is given by

$a_n=a(r)^{n-1}$

where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

The 11th term is given is

$a_{11}=a(4)^{11-1}$

$48=a(4)^{10}$ ------- (1)

The 12th term is given by

$192=a(4)^{11}$ ------- (2)

<u>Value of a:</u>

The value of a can be determined by solving any one of the two equations.

Hence, let us solve the equation (1) to determine the value of a.

Thus, we have;

$48=a(1048576)$

Dividing both sides by 1048576, we get;

$\frac{3}{65536}=a$

Thus, the value of a is $\frac{3}{65536}$

<u>Value of the 10th term:</u>

The 10th term of the sequence can be determined by substituting the values a and the common ratio r in the general term $a_n=a(r)^{n-1}$ , we get;

$a_{10}=\frac{3}{65536}(4)^{10-1}$

$a_{10}=\frac{3}{65536}(4)^{9}$

$a_{10}=\frac{3}{65536}(262144)$

$a_{10}=\frac{786432}{65536}$

$a_{10}=12$

Thus, the 10th term of the sequence is 12.
