Let n = the hours elapsed when the two trains are 660 miles apart.

Let the first train travel east and the second train travel west.

The distance traveled by the first train is

x = (50 mi/h)*(n h) = 50n mi

The distance traveled by the second train is

y = (60 mi/h)*(n h) = 60n h

The distance between the two trains after n hours is

x + y = 50 n + 60n = 110n mi

Because this distance is 660 miles, therefore

110n = 660

n = 6 hours

Answer: 6 hours

In a class test(3+) marks are given for every correct answer and (-2) marks are given for every incorrect answer (-2) marks are

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

The number of incorrect answers made by Radhika is 8; the number of incorrect answers made by Mohini = 13

<h3>How to solve algebra word problems?</h3>

We are given;

Marks obtained for 1 right answer = +3

Marks obtained for 1 wrong answer = −2

(i) Marks scored by Radhika = 20

Marks obtained for 12 correct answers = 12 × 3 = 36

Marks obtained for incorrect answers = Total score − Marks obtained for 12 correct answers = 20 − 36 = −16

Marks obtained for 1 wrong answer = −2

Thus, number of incorrect answers = (−16) ÷(−2) = 8

Therefore, the number of incorrect answers made by Radhika = 8

(ii) Marks scored by Mohini = −5

Marks obtained for 7 correct answers = 7 × 3 = 21

Marks obtained for incorrect answers = Total score − Marks obtained for 12 correct answers = − 5 − 21 = −26

Marks obtained for 1 wrong answer = −2

Thus, number of incorrect answers = (−26) ÷ (−2) = 13

So, the number of incorrect answers made by Mohini = 13

If the volume of a hemisphere is 92160 pie cubic cm then find<br>its radius.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

radius = 51.70 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume = (2/3) π r³

Volume = 92160 π

Radius = ?

Using the above formula

V = (2/3) π r³

r³ = v/((2/3) π)

r³ = ((92160 π) x 3) / (2 x π)

r³ = 276480/2 because (π/π) = 1

r³ = 138240

Taking cube root on both sides

r = 51.70 cm

Question 2 of 39

rewona [7]

Answer:

D) 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

series: 56, 54, 50, 38, 34, ....

find the difference between successive numbers;

56 54 50 38 34 x

2 4 12 4 2

The highest difference between the numbers is 12, after which it decreases to 4 and finally back 2.

The next number "x" is calculated as;

34 - 2 = x

32 = x

Therefore, the next number should be 32.

Please help me! Suppose Sal's total profit on lunch specials for the next month is $1,593. The profit amounts are the same: $2 f

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an incomplete problem. Other data were not given.

Given:

Profit of every sandwich = $2

Profit of every wrap = $3

x = sandwich

y = wrap

Last month: 2x + 3y = 1,470

Next month: 2x + 3y = 1,593

Based on the given equation:

Both still have the same profit. $2 for sandwiches and $3 for wraps.

The only reason why there is a difference in the total amount is the change in the number of sandwich or wrap sold in a given month.

Since, next month's total sale is higher than last month's total sale, it is safe to assume that the sale of sandwich or wrap is higher than last month's sale.
