Speed=distance / time ⇒ distance=time x speed
distance=d
time=t
speed= s
d=s*t
Distance traveled by Mr Guerrero, when his daugther left the house
Data:
s=40 miles/ hour
t=2 hours
d=40 miles/ hour * 2 hours= 80 miles
Total distance traveled by Mr Guerrero:
d=80 miles + 40 miles/hourt ⇒d=80+40t (1)
d=total distance.
s=speed.
t=time spent by Miranda for she overtook her father.
Distance traveled by Miranda.
data:
s=48 miles/ hour
d=total distance.
t=time spent by Miranda for she overtook her father.
d=48 miles/hour * t ⇒d=48t (2)
With the equations (1) and (2), we make an system of equations:
d=80+40t
d=48t
We can solve this system of equation by equalization method.
80+40t=48t
80=48t-40t
80=8t
t=80/8=10
d=48t
d=48*10=480
Answer: the thistance will be 480 miles.
C is the correct answer
we should find the area of the square and then divide it by 24.
(360/15=24)

good luck
Teachers often all this problem a donut problem because it’s like the donut hole getting cut out of the middle. The way that you solve this is to find the area of the whole yard and subtract the area of the fountain. Since they are rectangles we’re going to use A = LW
Area of yard - Area of fountain
A = (8x)(9x) - (2x)(5x)
A = 72 x^2. - 10 x^2
A 62 x^2
Rational
Zeros in a quadratic equations are equal distances from the axis of symmetry. If one root is rational, the other must belong to the same number set. Therefore, the answer is rational.
