Answer:

It will take 1 hour and 12 minutes for the two trains to be 192 miles apart

Step-by-step explanation:

The total distance between the two trains is the distance traveled by both trains. The distance traveled by the eastbound train is 85 mph * elapsed time and the distance traveled by the westbound train is 75 * elapsed time.

The combined formula is distance traveled = speed of first train * elapsed time + speed of second train * elapsed time.

Since the elapsed time is equal for both trains then the formula is modified as distance traveled = (speed of first train + speed of second train) * elapsed time.

Solving for the elapsed time

distance traveled = (speed of first train + speed of second train) * elapsed time

192 miles = (85mph + 75 mph) * elapsed time

192 miles = 160 mph * elapsed time

elapsed time = 192 miles / 160 mph

elapsed time = 1.2 hours

elapsed time = 1 hour and 12 minutes

It will take 1 hour and 12 minutes for the two trains to be 192 miles apart.

Krystal and 4 friends were going to the movies. Each ticket cost $12. They bought 2 buckets of popcorn at $4.50 each and then ea
Crazy boy [7]

so each ticket costs 12 dollars multiply that bye 5 you get 60

each bucket of popcorn costs 4.50 then multiply that bye 2 you get 9

then all five girls get a soda which costs 4.75 so you would multiply 4.75 bye 5 which is 23.75

so in total  you would get B.92.75
