Answer:

7 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

Current speed of Joes Car = 65.5 mph

We have to find the time interval for which the car exceeded the speed limit of 55 mph.

While, we are given that the speed of the car was constantly increasing, hence the speed over all increased from the limit of 55 mph = 65.50-55.00 = 10.50 mph

We are also given that Joes car was increasing speed at a constant rate of 1.50 mph for every passing minute. Hence

1.50 mph is increased in 1 minute

1 mph will be increase in \frac{1}{1.5} minutes

Hence

10.50 mph will be increased in \frac{1}{1.5} \times 10.50 minutes

= \frac{10.5}{1.5}

=7

Hence joes car was exceeding the limit of 55 mph for 7 minutes.

ZA and ZB are vertical angles. If mZA= (5x – 4) and mZB = (2x – 1)º, then find the value of x. INI​
natulia [17]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

∠A and ∠B are vertical angles.

∠A = (5x – 4) and ∠B = (2x – 1)

We need to find the value of x.

We know that, the vertical angles are equal. So,

∠A=∠B

(5x – 4)=(2x – 1)

Taking like terms together,

5x-2x = 4-1

3x=3

x = 1

So, the value of x is equal to 1.

Write the following comparison as a ratio reduced to lowest terms. 169 inches to 13 feet
Elanso [62]

Answer:

14.0833333333 feet | 13 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

169 Inches is 14.0833333333 feet on calculator compared to 13 feet

and 1.08333333333 is 14.0833333333 divided by 13

if is not it, then 13/14.0833333333 is 0.92307692307

i guess that is the lowest terms in ratio

ace car rental rents cars for x dollars per day plus y dollars for each mile driven carlos renteda car for a 4 days drove 100 mi
Yuliya22 [10]
T=xd+ym\\x(4)+y(100)=(120)\\x(1)+y(240)=(80)\\\\4x+960y=320\\4x+100y=120\\860y=200\\y=\frac{200}{860}\\y=\frac{10}{43}\\\\x+240(\frac{10}{43})=80\\x+\frac{2400}{43}=\frac{3440}{43}\\x=\frac{1040}{43}

x = 1040/43 = $24.19 per day.

y = 10/43 = $0.23 per mile.
