Distance to the farm is 24 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Let the speed of Peggy be x mph. Then the speed of Mike is x + 36 mph. Find the equation of distance for Mike and Peggy to the farm.

Time taken by Mike = 0.5 hr

Time taken by Peggy = 2 hrs

Distance is calculated by the equation Distance = Speed × Time

Distance traveled by Mike = (x + 36) × 0.5

Distance traveled by Peggy = x × 2

Step 2: Equate the 2 distances of Mike and Peggy as they are the same and find x.

(x + 36) × 0.5 = 2x

0.5x + 18 = 2x

1.5 x = 18

⇒ x = 18/1.5 = 12 mph

Step 3: Find the distance to the farm.

Distance to the farm = 2x = 24 miles

It is now twenty-seven minutes past six. What time will it be in 3 hours and 25 minutes?

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

9:52

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's rewrite "twenty-seven minutes past six", into a standard digital clock form. We could write 6:27. Now, it's easier to see that if we add 3 hours first, we would get to 9:27. And then if we add 25 minutes, we will get to 9:52.

Answer:

$\displaystyle n^3-\frac{1}{n^{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Exponents Properties</u>

We need to recall the following properties of exponents:

$(a^x)^y=(a^y)^x=a^{xy}$

$\displaystyle a^{-x}=\frac{1}{a^x}$

We are given the expression:

$2^m=n$

We need to express the following expression in terms of n.

$8^m-4^{-m}$

It's necessary to modify the expression to use the given equivalence.

Recall $8=2^3 \text{ and }4 = 2^2$ . Thus:

$(2^3)^m-(2^2)^{-m}$

Applying the property:

$(2^m)^3-(2^m)^{-2}$

Substituting the given expression:

$n^3-n^{-2}$

Or, equivalently:

$\mathbf{\displaystyle 8^m-4^{-m}= n^3-\frac{1}{n^{2}}}$
