Suppose a horse is galloping at 19 mph toward a clown, and the clown is racing toward the horse on an ATV which can sustain a sp

eed of 15mph. They are 50 miles apart from one another and start at the exact same moment in time. How much time will it take for the horse and clown to collide?

Answer:

It will take 1.47 hours for the horse and clown to collide

Step-by-step explanation:

They are driving toward each other, in opposite directions.

So to find their speed of approximation, we add their speeds.

19 mph + 15 mph = 34 mph.

This means that each hour, they are 34 miles closer.

How long it takes for them to find each other if they are 50 miles apart?

1 hour - 34 miles

x hours - 50 miles

34x = 50

x = \frac{50}{34}

x = 1.47

It will take 1.47 hours for the horse and clown to collide

Write each decimal as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form.<br> 1 3/8
Mnenie [13.5K]

3/2

<em>Step One:</em> 1 3/8, transform the number into a improper fraction:

  1. To have a mixed number in to a improper fraction, you need to use            addition and multiplication.  For 1 3/8, We first multiply the denominator (8, also know to be the bottom number of the fraction) to the whole number (1).  8x1= 8
  2. NOTE: The original denominator (8) will be use for are improper, again playing as the denominator, we only multiply the denominator for the numerator (which is the top number of a fraction).
  3. After multiplying, we'll add are product with the numerator (3) for the process. 8+3= 12
  4. Now we have both numerator and denominator for 1 3/8, we can create the improper fraction. 12 as the numerator and 8 as the denominator. 12/8
  5. We still need to simplify the number. To that, we need the biggest whole number, or rather I call it the lowest number, that can be divide both in 12 and 8.
  6. 4 can be divide by both number so: 12/4= 3 and 8/4=2
  7. Now 3 is are simplify numerator and 2 is are simplify denominator.

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line x = -2 and passes through the point (-5, 4)?
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The equation of the line that is parallel to the line x = -2 and passes through the point (-5, 4) is x=-5

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find equation of the line that is parallel to the line x = -2 and passes through the point (-5, 4)

We need a line parallel to x=-2 or x+2=0 it should be of form x+k=0

We need to find k, by putting value of x=-5 as given in question the point(-5,4)

-5+k=0

k=5

So, the equation of line will be found by putting k=5:

x+k=0

x+5=0

x=-5

So, the equation of the line that is parallel to the line x = -2 and passes through the point (-5, 4) is x=-5

Option A is correct.
