<h3>Answer:  </h3><h3>speed of train A = 44 mph</h3>

=============================================

Work Shown:

x = speed of train A

y = speed of train B

"train A travels 4/5 the speed of train B" (I'm assuming "train one" is supposed to read "train B"). So this means x = (4/5)y

distance = rate*time

d = x*7

d = (4/5)y*7 = (28/5)y represents the distance train A travels

d = y*7 = 7y represents the distance train B travels

summing those distances will give us 693

(28/5)y + 7y = 693

5*(  (28/5)y + 7y ) = 5*693

28y + 35y = 3465

63y = 3465

y = 3465/63

y = 55

Train B's speed is 55 mph

4/5 of that is (4/5)y = (4/5)*55 = 4*11 = 44 mph

Train A's speed is 44 mph

Answer:

88 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The given bicycle has a tyre that is 28 inches in diameter.

How far the bicycle moves forward each time the wheel goes around is the circumference of the bicycle tyre.

This is calculated using the formula:

C =\pi \: d

We substitute the diameter and

\pi =  \frac{22}{7}

C =  \frac{22}{7}  \times 28

This simplifies to

C =22 \times 4

88 \: inches

Explain how to find the sum of 3/10 + 4/100
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer: 17/50

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to add fractions, we must find a common denominator, in this case, 100.

Then, we must make the fractions being added all have the common denominator.

So, we must multiply 3/10 * 10/10, which equals 30/100

30/100 + 4/100

Then, just add across the numerator to get 34/100, which can be simplified to 17/50
