Answer:

The car leaving Arlington averages 55 mph.

The car leaving Vernonville averages 45 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

The traveled distance can be calculated as follows:

d = v · t

Where

d = traveled distance at time t.

v = speed.

t = time.

The cars meet after 1 h and 36 min, let´s convert it to hours only:

36 min · (1 h/60 min) = 0.6 h

Then, the cars meet at t = 1.6 h

We have the following equations:

d₁ + d₂ = 160 miles

d₁ = v₁ · 1.6 h

d₂ = v₂ · 1.6 h   (v₂ = v₁ - 10 mph)

d₂ = (v₁ - 10 mph) · 1.6 h

Where:

d₁ = distance traveled by the car leaving Arlington

d₂ = distance traveled by the car leaving Vernonville.

v₁ = speed of the car leaving Arlington.

v₂ = speed of the car leaving Vernonville.

Then, let´s solve this system of equations:

d₁ + d₂ = 160 miles

v₁ · 1.6 h + (v₁ - 10 mph) · 1.6 h = 160 mi

divide both sides of the equation by 1.6 h:

v₁ + v₁ - 10 mph = 100 mph

add 10 mph to both sides of the equation:

2v₁ = 110 mph

divide by 2 the both sides of the equation:

v₁ = 55 mph

v₂ = v₁ - 10 mph = 55 mph - 10 mph = 45 mph

The car leaving Arlington averages 55 mph.

The car leaving Vernonville averages 45 mph.

Have a nice day!

Answer:Arlington moves at 55miles/hr

Vernon ville moves at 45 miles/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be the speed of the car leaving Arlington

Let v be the speed of the car leaving

Vernon ville

a = v+10

Distance travelled by the car leaving Arlington after 1hr 36minutes(1.6hrs)

= speed × time = 1.6a

Distance travelled by the car leaving Vernon ville after 1hr 36minutes(1.6hrs)

= speed × time = 1.6v

They meet after travelling this distance each thus covering 160 miles

1.6a + 1.6v = 160 --------1

a = v +10 (a is faster with 10miles/hr)

Put a in eqn 1

1.6(v+10) + 1.6v = 160

1.6v + 16 + 1.6v = 160

3.2v = 160-16=144

v =45 miles/hr

a =45+10= 55miles/hr

For how many integer values of n will the value of the expression 4n + 7 be an integer greater than 1 and less than 200?
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked that the value of (4n + 7) will be an integer > 1 and < 200, for how many integer values of n.

So, equating (4n + 7) with 200 we can get the value.

4n + 7 = 200

⇒ 4n = 193

⇒ n = 48.25

Hence, the value of n will be the largest integer less than 48.25.

Therefore, the number of integer values of n will be 48. (Answer)

Mediam of 50+45+49+50+43+49+45+49+45+47+44+51+51+44+47+46+50+44+51+49+43+43+49+45+46+45+51+46
Doss [256]

Answer:

The median is equal 46.5

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the median, we will need to rearrange the numbers in ascending order, so we will have

43, 43, 43, 44, 44, 44, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 46, 46, 46, 47, 47, 49, 49, 49, 49, 49, 50, 50, 50, 51, 51, 51, 51

Note that there are 28 numbers in total, therefore the median will fall in between the fourteenth and the fifteenth number which are 46 and 47 respectively.

Since we are considering two figures as median, we will need to find the average, which will be

(46 + 47)/2 = 46.5

The median is therefore 46.5

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

P(compact cars) = 4/25

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are 13 trucks, 8 vans, and 4 compact cars.

Let P denotes the probability of an event

Now we are asked to find the probability of compact cars

Number of favorable events = number of compact cars = 4

total number of outcomes = 13+8+4 = 25

hence, P(compact cars) = number of favorable events/total outcomes

                                       =4/25
