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.

The measure of angle n is 42º. what is the measure of angle k? parallelogram k l m n where k n is parallel to l m and k l is par
Kipish [7]
Becouse k and n are 'neighbours' so their sum are 180
so k=180-42=138

Suppose we want to choose 5 objects, without replacement, from 15 distinct objects.
goblinko [34]

15444 ways we can choose 5 objects, without replacement, from 15 distinct objects.

Given that, suppose we want to choose 5 objects, without replacement, from 15 distinct objects.

<h3>What is a permutation?</h3>

A permutation is a mathematical calculation of the number of ways a particular set can be arranged, where the order of the arrangement matters.

Now, 13P_{5}= 13!/(13-5)!

= 13!/8! = 13x12x11x10x9= 1287 x 120 = 15,444

Therefore, 15444 ways we can choose 5 objects, without replacement, from 15 distinct objects.

HELP HELP !!!! PLEASE I NEED HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM !!!
Vesnalui [34]
This one is best done by elimination:

We need to start 4 meters away, so B is clearly wrong. 

We first move towards Mr. Wilson (i.e. distance is decreasing) so A is wrong.

Our speed is faster on the way back, so the two sloped section must have differing slopes, so D is wrong.
(D also doesn't start at 4, it's wrong for two reasons.)

Only C is left.

We can check each part to make sure. First we start at 4m, then move away, then stay still (zero slope) for three seconds, then move back faster (higher slope). All parts check out ok.
