When the Slowpoke Marathon began, the ratio of runners to joggers was 2 to 19. A total of 4200 participants began the race (each

either a runner or a jogger, but not both), but 450 joggers dropped out of the race along the way. Out of the remaining participants, who are runners, 16 % of them dropped out of the race. If everyone else finished the race, then what was the simplified ratio of runners to joggers among those who finished the race?

Answer:

168 : 1675

Step-by-step explanation:

At the beginning of the race, the number of ratio units was 2+19 = 21, so each stands for 4200/21 = 200 participants. Then there were ...

2×200 = 400 runners
19×200 = 3800 joggers

At the end of the race, there were 450 fewer joggers, so ...

3800 -450 = 3350 . . . joggers

16% of the 400 runners is 64 runners, so with that many dropping out, the remaining number of runners was ...

400 -64 = 336

So, at the end of the race the ratio of runners to joggers was ...

336 : 3350 = 168 : 1675

Answer:

168 : 1675

Step-by-step explanation:

2/21 × 4200 = 400 runners

19/21 × 4200 = 3800 joggers

3800 - 450 = 3350 joggers

400 - 16%(400) = 336 runners

336 : 3350

168 : 1675

Two airplanes are flying in the air at the same height. Airplane A is flying east at 300mi/h and airplane B is flying north at 2

Answer:

$\frac{dAB}{dt}=340 mil/h$

Step-by-step explanation:

The change of distance over time of the plain A is 300 mi/hour and 200 mi/hour for plane B. O is the point of the airport.

So, the distance from A to O AO = 90 miles and BO = 120 miles.

Now, we have a right triangle here. We can use the Pythagorean theorem, so the distance between the planes will be:

$AB^{2} =AO^{2}+BO^{2}$ (1)

$AB =\sqrt{AO^{2}+BO^{2}}=$

$AB =\sqrt{90^{2}+120^{2}}=150 miles$

If we take the derivative of the equation (1) we could find the change of the distance between planes.

$2AB\frac{dAB}{dt}=2AO\frac{dAO}{dt}+2BO\frac{dBO}{dt}$

$2*150\frac{dAB}{dt}=2*90*300+2*120*200=102000 mil/h$

$\frac{dAB}{dt}=\frac{102000}{150*2}$

Finally,

$\frac{dAB}{dt}=340 mil/h$

I hope it helps you!
