Answer: the rate of the westbound train is 85 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the rate of the westbound train. The westbound train travels 10 miles per hour slower than the eastbound train. It means that the rate of the eastbound train is (x + 10) mph.

The two trains leave the station at the same time. The total distance covered by both trains after 3 hours is 540 miles.

Distance = speed × time

Distance covered by the westbound train in 3 hours is 3x.

Distance covered by the eastbound train in 3 hours is 3(x + 10)

Therefore,

3x + 3(x + 10) = 540

3x + 3x + 30 = 540

6x = 540 - 30 = 510

x = 510/6 = 85 mph

Charra [1.4K]

The main purpose of the passage is to describe the purpose, methods, and results of an experiment. The correct option is B.

Given a passage shown in the attached pictures.

Option B is the best answer. The first paragraph of the passage identifies and describes "Texas squash vines" (line 1), but the main focus of the passage is introduced in the first sentence of the second paragraph. The remainder of the passage focuses on describing the purpose, process, and results of recent research conducted on these Texas squash vines.

Option A is incorrect because the passage doesn’t focus on the assumptions behind a theory but rather on the way in which that theory was tested. Option C is incorrect because the passage does not contain a lot of conflicting data; most of them support the idea that there may be too many scents for the Texas squash. Option D is incorrect because the passage explains the procedures used in a study were “’very labor intensive’” (line 58) but does not present them as particularly innovative.

Hence, the primary purpose from the given passage is to describe the aim, method, and results of an experiment.

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS GEOMETRY PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Leno4ka [110]
The question is asking for the cubic feet inside the prism, which means it wants the volume.

The volume equation is:
Volume= length x width x height

The issue is: the measurements of the prism are given to us in inches, while the problem asks for feet. We just need to convert each measurement, by dividing each by 12, since there are 12 inches per foot.
40 inches/12=3.33 feet
45 inches/12=3.75 feet
30 inches/12=2.5 feet

Now, we just have to plug in the numbers we found to solve for the volume.
V=(3.33 feet)(3.75 feet)(2.5 feet)
V=31.22 cubic feet
