Bernardo drives to work at an average speed of 50 miles per hour and returns along the same route at an average speed of 25 mile

s per hour. If his total travel time is 3 hours, what is the total number of miles in the round-trip?

Bernardo travels the same distance at 25mph as he does at 50mph. However, since 25mph is only half of 50 mph, he must travel twice as long at 25mph. If you call the time he traveled 50mph "t", then 

<span>t+2t=3 </span>
<span>3t=3 </span>
<span>t=1 </span>

<span>This means he traveled 1 hour at 50mph. In this time, he traveled 50 miles. He traveled the same distance at 25mph, so his total distance was </span>

<span>50miles+50miles=100miles </span>

<span>so the round trip was 100 miles.</span>

A sheet of paper 90 cm-by-66 cm is made into an open box (i.e. there's no top), by cutting x-cm squares out of each corner and f
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

26 - \sqrt{181} cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the box is:

V = height * length * width

V = x*(66 - 2*x)*(90 - 2*x)

V = (66*x - 2*x^2)*(90 - 2*x)

V = 5940*x - 132*x^2 - 180*x^2 + 4*x^3

V = 4*x^3 - 312*x^2 + 5940*x

where x is the length of the sides of the squares,  in cm.

The mathematical problem is :

Maximize: V = 4*x^3 - 312*x^2 + 5940*x

subject to:

x > 0

2*x < 66 <=> x < 33

In the maximum, the first derivative of V, dV/dx, is equal to zero

dV/dx = 12*x^2 - 624*x + 5940

From quadratic formula

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4(a)(c)}}{2(a)}

x = \frac{624 \pm \sqrt{(-624)^2 - 4(12)(5940)}}{2(12)}

x = \frac{624 \pm \sqrt{104256}}{24}

x = \frac{624 \pm \sqrt{2^6*3^2*181}}{24}

x = \frac{624 \pm 8*3*\sqrt{181}}{24}

x_1 = \frac{624 + 24*\sqrt{181}}{24}

x_1 = 26 + \sqrt{181}

x_2 = \frac{624 - 24*\sqrt{181}}{24}

x_2 = 26 - \sqrt{181}

But x_1 > 33, then is not the correct answer.

HELLO!!! PLEASE HELP?! BRAINLIEST ANSWER INCLUDED! A sample of 130 firecrackers contained 9 duds. How many duds would you expect
lions [1.4K]

you would expect 99 duds in a box of 1430. 1430 divided by 130 is 11. therefore, multiply the amount of duds in the package of 130 times 11.


Hope this helps!!

Joseph and Dwayne are both selling cookie dough for a fundraiser. Although Joseph has already sold 3 tubs, Dwayne hasn't sold an
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:The number of days it will take to sell the same amount of cookies is 3 and the number of tubs that will be sold is 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of days it will take either of them to sell the same number of tubs.

Let y represent the total number of tubs that that Joseph will sell in x days.

Let z represent the total number of tubs that that Dwayne will sell in x days.

Joseph has already sold 3 tubs. If Joseph starts selling 8 tubs per day, it means that in x days, the number of tubs that he will sell will be

y = 8x + 3

Dwayne hasn't sold any yet. If Dwayne begins selling 9 tubs per day, it means that in x days, the number of tubs that he will sell will be

z = 9x

To determine the number of days it will take to sell the same amount of cookies, we will equate y to z. It becomes

8x + 3 = 9x

9x - 8x = 3

x = 3

The number of tubs that each will sell will be 9x = 9×3 = 27
