To solve this problem, we are going to use a scientific/mathematics strategy called Dimensional Analysis.
40 miles / 1 hour * 5280 feet / 1 mile = 211200 feet / 1 hour
211200 feet / 1 hour * 1 hour / 60 minutes = 3520 feet/ 1 minute
3520 feet / 1 minute * 1 minute / 60 seconds = approximately 59 feet / 1 second
Jackrabbits travel approximately 59 feet per second, when rounded to the nearest whole number.
Answer:
first do:
60mph * 4 hours= 240mi
Let D = the distance the passenger train has to
travel to catch the freight train
Start a stopwatch when the passenger train leaves
Let t = the time on the stopwatch when they meet
Equation for freight train:
d-240=60t
Equation for passenger train:
d=100t
all together:
100t-240=60t
we can do 100t-60t because they both have (t)= 40t
40t=240 *now divide 240 by 40= 6
THEN do:
D= 100mph x 6= 600mi
They will meet 600 mi from the station
to check:
d-240=60t x 6
600-240= 360
60 x 6= 360
360=360
Answer:
33000
Step-by-step explanation:
Substituting 250 for x and -120 for y, we get:
(250)^2 + 2(250) - (250)(120) = 62500 + 500 - 30000, or
32500 + 500, or 33000
Answer:
y=5
