A bus went halfway from a village to a city at a certain speed. Then it stopped in traffic for an hour. In order to catch up the

time, for the remaining 200 km of the way the driver decided to go at a speed which was 10 km/h greater than his speed before he got stuck in traffic. The bus got to the city on time. What was the speed of the bus before the traffic holdup?

We have to assume that the speed before being stuck was sufficient to get to the destination on time had there been no delay. Call that speed "s" in km/h.

Since 200 km is "halfway", the total distance must be 400 km.

time = distance / speed
total time = (time for first half) + (delay) + (time for second half)

400/s = 200/s + 1 + 200/(s+10) . . . .times are in hours, distances in km
200/s = 1 + 200/(s+10) . . . . . . . . . . subtract 200/s
200(s+10) = s(s+10) +200s . . . . . . .multiply by s(s+10)
0 = s² +10s - 2000 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract the left side
(s+50)(s-40) = 0
Solutions are s = -50, s = 40

The speed of the bus before the traffic holdup was 40 km/h.

RSB [31]

Answer:

45%

Step-by-step explanation:

For simplicity, let use assume there are 100 students in the school.

No. of students to complete college = (30/100) x 100 = 30 Students

President wants to increase by 50% = (50/100) x 30 = 15 Students

New set goal = 30 + 15 = 45 students.

Total number of students = 100 students

Therefore;

Rate goal % = (45/100) x 100% = 45%

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

I’m not sure what this question is asking, but I’ll write an equation of this circle you are describing. Here, the x coordinate of the center is h, the y coordinate is k, and radius is r in the equation : (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2, meaning the equation in this situation is the following: (x-2)^2+(y-8)^2=9

Mr. Cresta spends $6.00 for every $3.00 he saves. Write a ratio equivalent to Mr. Cresta's spending
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

12:6 or $12 for every $6 he saves

Step-by-step explanation:

If he spends $6.00 for every $3.00, he would save $6 if he spends $12. In this case you could multiple or divide 6 by any number, and do the same to 3 to get an equivalent ratio. Ex. Multiple 6 times 2 to get $12 and 3 times 2 to get $6.
