Answer:

9:00 P.M.

Step-by-step explanation:

#1. Let x= the time in which the second train will catch up with the first

#2. Since x is the time in which the second train will catch up with the first and 3 P.M. is the time in which the second train left, we subtract that from x multiplied by the rate the second train travels, and in this case, is 60 mph= the rate in which the first train is traveling.

: 60(x-3)= 40x

: 60x-180= 40x

Subtract 60x on both sides to equal

: -180= -20x

Divide -20 on both sides to equal

: 9=x, which is 9 P.M.

Glad it helped! :)

Here speed of first train is slower than speed of second train. So if they catch up , the distance traveled will be same since they left the same station at different times.

But the time traveled will be different .

Let us say the two trains meet at time t ,

Distance = speed * time

Distance traveled by first train = 40 t

Since second train is leaving after three hours , so

Distance traveled by second train = 60(t-3)

As discussed earlier, distance traveled will be same, so

40t =60(t-3)

distributing 60 over t-3

40t =60t-180

60t -40t=180

20t =180

t =180/20

t=9

So the second train will meet the first at 9 p.m.

35% is 7 out of what number?
o-na [289]

Answer:

The number is <u>20</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, it is said that 35% of a number is equal to 7, then what is that number?

So, let the number be <em>x</em>.

Now, according to the question :

\begin{gathered} \begin{array}{l} \quad{\dashrightarrow{\sf{35 \% \: of \: x = 7}}}\\\\\quad{\dashrightarrow{\sf{\dfrac{35}{100} \: of \: x = 7}}}\\\\\quad{\dashrightarrow{\sf{\dfrac{35}{100}  \times x = 7}}}\\\\\quad{\dashrightarrow{\sf{\dfrac{35 \times x}{100} = 7}}}\\\\\quad{\dashrightarrow{\sf{\dfrac{35x}{100} = 7}}}\\\\\quad{\dashrightarrow{\sf{x = 7 \times \dfrac{100}{35}}}}\\\\\quad{\dashrightarrow{\sf{x =\dfrac{700}{35}}}}\\\\ \quad{\dashrightarrow{\sf{x = \cancel{\dfrac{700}{35}}}}}\\\\ \quad{\dashrightarrow{\sf{x =20}}}\\\\ \quad{\star{\underline{\boxed{\tt{\red{x =20}}}}}} \end{array}\end{gathered}

Hence, the number is 20.
