Answer:

10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

(150/x) + 1.5 + (450/(x+15)) = 600/x

Multiply through by x(x + 15):

150(x + 15) + 1.5x(x + 15) + 450x = 600(x + 15)

150x + 2250 + 1.5x^2 + 22.5x + 450x = 600x + 9000

150x + 2250 + 1.5x^2 + 22.5x + 450x - 600x - 9000 = 0

1.5x^2 + 22.5x - 6750 = 0

x = (-22.5 +/- sqrt(22.5^2 - 4(1.5)(-6750))) / (2*1.5)

x = (-22.5 +/- sqrt(506.25 + 40500)) / 3

x = (-22.5 +/- sqrt(41006.25)) / 3

x = (-22.5 +/- 202.5) / 3

x = 180/3 or -225/3

x = 60 or -75

But a negative number doesn't make sense, so therefore x = 60, so the journey took 600/60 = 10  hours.

The ratio of water to punch mix is 8 parts to 1 part. If you use 6 gallons of water predict the amount of punch mix to use
Valentin [98]

Answer:

The amount of punch mix to use is 3/4 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> parts of water

y ---> parts of punch mix

we know that

\frac{x}{y} =\frac{8}{1}

x=8y ----> equation A

That means ---> The parts of water is 8 times the parts of punch mix

If we have 6 gal of water

then

x=6\ gal

substitute in the equation A

6=8y

solve for y

y=\frac{6}{8}\ gal

Simplify

y=\frac{3}{4}\ gal

therefore

The amount of punch mix to use is 3/4 gallons

Surface area of a pyramid
Ede4ka [16]

The general formula for the total surface area of a regular pyramid is T. S. A. =12pl+B where p represents the perimeter of the base, l the slant height and B the area of the base

To find the surface area of a regular triangular pyramid, we use the formula SA = A + (3/2)bh, where A = the area of the pyramid's base, b = the base of one of the faces, and h = height of one of the faces.

We can also label the length (l), width (w), and height (h) of the prism and use the formula, SA=2lw+2lh+2hw, to find the surface area.

To find surface area for a rectangular prism, use the formula SA = 2ab + 2bc + 2ac, where a is the width, b is the height, and c is the length. If you're trying to find the surface area of a triangular prism, use the formula SA = 2a + ph, where a is the area of the triangle, p is the perimeter, and h is the height

Hope that was helpful.Thank you!!!
