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.

Coach Pettaway is buying basketball equipment for his team. He gets a
soldier1979 [14.2K]
First, let’s all acknowledge that whoever comes up with problems like this WANTS kids to hate math...smh

I’m sure there is a prettier way to solve this, but here’s what I did:

8(2.25) + 3(22.50) =
18 + 67.50 = 85.50 per “set” of balls/jerseys
400/85.50 = 4.678 = number of “sets” he can buy. Round down to 4 so we have room for tax.

85.5 x 4 “sets”= $342
Tax on 342 is 0.06 x 342 = 20.52

$342 + 20.52 = $362.52 spent

Basketballs = 4 sets x 8 balls per set= 32
Jerseys = 4 sets x 3 jerseys per set= 12

32 basketballs, 12 jerseys, $362.52 spent
