Let's look at the difference in speed between the two: it's 39-15.6=23.4 km/h

(we can just subtract this because they are traveling in the same direction) - this means that it's as if the slower train (the freight) was in place and the passenger train was traveling at 23.4 km/h
No, the freighter left 3.9 hours earlier, during which it traveled

15.6*3.9=60.84 km

So they will meet when the passenger train will catch up on those 60.84 km.

It does it with 23.4 km/h so it will need:
$\frac{6084}{2340} =2.6$

So the freighter will be travellinf for 2.6 more hours than the other train - a total of (2.6+3.9=6.5) 6.5 hours!

Give right triangle PQR, which representa the value of sin (P)?

Komok [63]

sinR = $\frac{QR}{PQ}$

noting that the sin ratio = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

opposite to ∠P is QR and hypotenuse is PQ ( opposite right angle )

On Monday 4 bricklayers took 3 hours to lay a total of 4200 bricks.

lisabon 2012 [21]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

It will take 4.5 hours for two bricklayers to lay a total of 3150 bricks.

From the statement, we know that on Monday, bricklayers took 3 hours to lay a total of 4200 bricks.

So, we have that the rate of the four bricklayers is given by the following equation:

$Production=Rate*Time\\\\Rate=\frac{Production}{time}$

$Rate=\frac{4200bricks}{3hours}=\frac{1400bricks}{hour}$

Therefore, we have that the rate of the four bricklayers is 1400 bricks per hour, meaning that each bricklayer can lay 350 bricks per hour.

Now, to calculate how many hours it will take to the 2 bricklayers to lay a total of 3150, we need to divide the calculated rate (for bricklayers) by two, since there are only 2 bricklayers working on Tuesday.

So, calculating the time, we have:

$Production=\frac{Rate}{2}*Time$
