Answer:

V_{E} = -22.5 / 15 = 1.5 miles/minute\\V_{F} = 7.5 / 15 = 0.5 miles/minute

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this problem, we must bear in mind that the express train travels 3 times faster than the freight train.

If we call F the distance that the freight train travels and we call E at the distance that the express train travels, we must have the distance between them after 15 minutes it must be 30 miles.

So

F + E = 30\\

We also know that:

E = 3F

Since the express train travels 3 times faster than the freight train.

So, like both equations, we have to:

F + 3F = 30\\F = 30/4\\F = 7.5 miles\\

Then E = 7.5*3 = 22.5 miles in the opposite direction.

This is the distance you traveled in 15 minutes.

Therefore, the speed of the express train (V_{E}) is the distance traveled between the time it did

V_{E} = -22.5 / 15 = 1.5 miles/minute\\V_{F} = 7.5 / 15 = 0.5 miles/minute

Given that x:y=5:1 find 4x+5y:3x
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

5:3

Step-by-step explanation:

When the ratio says x:y=5:1, it means that x is 5 times greater than y. So, plug in 5 for x and 1 for y.

4(5)+5(1):3(5)

20+5:15

25:15 , if simplified then the ratio 5:3

Find UX and the area of △UVW.
Mkey [24]

Answer:

UX ≈ 4.5

△UVW = 49.5 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

[] We can assume that UX is the midline of this triangle.

22 ft / 2 = 11 ft

XW and VX = 11 ft

[] Now that we have 2 sides of a right traingle, we can find the third.

a² + 11² = 12²

a² + 121 = 144

a² = 20

a = about 4.5, which is side UX

[] Since we have all three sides of the triangle, we can also solve for the total triangle's area. To solve for the area of a triangle, we do base times height divided by 2

22 * 4.5 = 99

99 / 2 = 49.5 ft²

Have a nice day!
