Answer:
300 meters per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Determine the fraction of the total distance for each part of the race.
Given:
1st part of race = 4/9 of total distance
2nd part of race = 2/5 of remaining distance
Step 2
Determine the distance of the third part of the race.
Given:
time = 15 minutes
speed = 300 meters per minute
Step 3
If the third part of the race (which is 1/3 of the total distance) is 4500m, then the distance of the whole race is:
Step 4
Determine the distance of the 1st part of the race:
Step 5
Determine the speed of the 1st part of the race:
Given:
time = 20 minutes
distance = 6000 m
You express the values in which the teacher or tutor or whatever assigned you.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
(5x4) - 6 / 2 = x
Answer:
1 hour
Step-by-step explanation:
I find these easiest to work by considering the initial difference in distance and the speed at with that gap is closing.
__
The gap is 15 miles, the distance the first ship is from harbor when the second ship starts.
The rate of closure is the difference in the speeds of the two ships:
60 mph -45 mph = 15 mph
Then the closure time is ...
time = distance/speed
time = (15 mi)/(15 mi/h) = 1 h
It will take the second ship 1 hour to catch up to the first ship.
