Let p and m represent the numbers of miles in the plains and mountains, respectively.
.. p + m = 300 . . . . . . . the whole trip was 300 miles
time = distance/speed, so the trip time can be written as
.. p/90 + m/37.5 = 3 48/60
.. 5p + 12m = 1710 . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 450 to put in standard form
You can solve these two equations by any of several means. The variable p can be eliminated by subtracting 5 times the first from the second.
.. (5p +12m) -5(p +m) = 1710 -5*300
.. 7m = 210
.. m = 30
30 miles of the trip was through the mountains.
Answer: 15º and 50º
Explanation:
The angles in a triangle add up to 180.
180 - 115 = 65
3x + 10x = 13x
13x = 65
x = 5
3x = 15
10x = 50
I'd say that, if the angles S and U are equal, as the SV and UV segments move towards each other, they meet at vertex V, the angles they make, angle SVT and UVT, have to be equal, because the side TV is shared by both, and has the same direction.
now, side TV is on both triangles, and is shared by both, so is the same length, so TV on one triangle is equal to TV on the other
check the picture below
so, you have one Angle, another Angle, and then a Side
A A S
the angle measures in the regular polygon is B)140
Answer:
1. Rate needed 9/6; Unit rate is 1.5/1; 1.5 cans of white paint are needed for each can of blue.
2. rate needed = 12/6; unit rate = 2/1; Need 2 cups of water for every scoop of fruit mix.
3. 70 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Set up a ratio
3white/2blue = xwhite/6blue
3/2 = x/6
cross multiply 2x = 18; x = 9
rate needed = 9/6
Unit rate is 1.5/1 (divide 3 by 2 or 9 by 6 to get unit rate_
2. 3/1.5 = x/6
1.5x = 18; x = 12
rate needed = 12/6
unit rate = 2/1
3. Set up a ratio.
3.5/.25 ( 1/4=.25)
3.5/.25 = x/5
.25x = 3.5(5)
.25x = 17.5
x = 70 minutes
