Answer:

116.9 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the express train be s and the time required by that train to cover 240 km be t.

Since distance = rate times time,

rate = distance / time

                                                            240 km

and so, for the express train, rate = ----------------

                                                                   t

To solve this problem, find the rate of the express train first.

                                                                 240 km

For the other train, rate - (12 km/hr) = -----------------

                                                                     t - 1

Substituting (240 km)/1 for rate in the second equation results in:

240 km       12 km         240 km

------------ - ------------- = ------------------

    1 hr            1 hr              t - 1

Simplifying the left side, we get:

 228 km       240 km

--------------- = -------------

     1 hr              t - 1

Note that if we multiply 228 km by 1.053, we get 240 km.

Let's multiply both numerator and denominator of the left side of the above equation by 1.053:

 240 km         240 km

---------------- = --------------

  1.053 hr           t - 1

Then t - 1 = 1.053, and t = 2.053 (hours)

We already know that the speed of the first train is

            240 km

rate = ----------------

                   t

and we now know that t = 2.053 hrs.

Thus, the rate of the express train is

            240 km

rate = ------------------ =  116.9 km/hr

             2.053 hrs                                                       t

Answer:

12.63 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the distance=240km

At 12 km/hr it will take =240/12 =20

time for Express train = 20-1=19

speed=240/19=12.63...km/hr

Branson and his sister Beatrice combined their allowance of $7 each, so they could buy a movie for $12. They bought $1 container
Andreyy89

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Branson and his sister Beatrice combined their allowance of $7 each. This means that the total amount they had is 7 + 7 = $14

They bought a movie for $12. The amount that they have left is

14 - 12 = $2

They bought $1 containers of fruit salad with the remaining money and split the containers evenly between them. This means that the number of containers that they bought is

2/1 = 2

If they split the containers evenly between themselves, then each person would get

2/2 = 1 container of fruit salad

Solve for x in<br> 2 - 3(x + 4) = 8
AysviL [449]

Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

2 - 3(x + 4) = 8

=> 3(x + 4) = 2 - 8 = -6

=> x + 4 = -6/3 = -2

=> x = -2 - 4 = -6

The question is missing the figure which is attached below.

Answer:

The last box that has dimensions 8 in × 8 in × 10 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Volume of the soil = 924 cubic inches.

There are four different types of boxes that need to be checked whether they can accommodate all of the soil or not.

The volume of the box must be at least 924 cubic inches to accommodate all of the soil.

Now, volume of the first box is given as:

V_1=l\times b\times h=20\times 5\times 10=1000\ in^3>924\ in^3

Volume of the second box is given as:

V_2=l\times b\times h=10\times 10\times 10=1000\ in^3>924\ in^3

Volume of the third box is given as:

V_3=l\times b\times h=10\times 20\times 6=1200\ in^3>924\ in^3

Volume of the fourth box is given as:

V_4=l\times b\times h=8\times 8\times 10=640\ in^3

Therefore, only the volume of the fourth box is less than the total volume of the soil. So, last box is the correct option.
