Answer: at 50 mph, she drove for 4 hours.

at 45 mph, she drove for 2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the time that she spent driving at 50 miles per hour.

Taylor took 6 hours to drive home from college for Thanksgiving break. This means that the time that she spent driving at 45 miles per hour is (6 - t) hours.

Distance = speed × time

Distance covered while driving 50 miles per hour is

50t

Distance covered while driving 45 miles per hour is

45(6 - t)

Since the total distance that she drove is 290 miles, it means that

50t + 45(6 - t) = 290

50t + 270 - 45t = 290

50t - 45t = 290 - 270

5t = 20

t = 20/5 = 4

At 45 miles per hour, she drove at

6 - 4 = 2 hours

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The distance from both of them = 1463.925 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The building is 964 ft tall . 2 people are standing on the ground directly west of the building. The first person looks up at an angle of 62° to the top of the building while the second person did same at an angle of 26°. The distance between them can be computed below.

The illustration forms a right angle triangle . Using the SOHCAHTOA principle let us find the distance of the second person from the building

tan 26° = opposite/adjacent

tan 26° = 964/adjacent

adjacent tan 26° = 964

adjacent = 964/tan 26°

adjacent = 964/0.48773258856

adjacent = 1976.49290328 ft

The distance from the second person to the building = 1976.493 ft

Distance of the first person to the building

tan 62° = opposite/adjacent

tan 62° = 964/adjacent

adjacent tan 62° = 964

adjacent = 964/tan 62°

adjacent = 964/1.88072646535

adjacent = 512.567892122

distance from the first person to the building = 512.568 ft

The distance from both of them = 1976.493 ft - 512.568 ft = 1463.925 ft

Amanda only has $30 to buy pens and notebooks. Each pen costs $2. Each notebook coats $3. Which of the following graph represent

sineoko [7]

Answer:

3p + 8n, 12p + 2n, 9p+4n, 6p+6n

8 columns bar graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

$2 = pen

$3 = notebook

This could be written as a bar graph in multiples of $6.00 along y axes.

3 pens + 8 notebooks. Then 12 pens + 2 notebooks.

Then 9 pens + 4 notebooks . Then 6 pens + 6 notebooks

3p + 8n, 12p + 2n, 9p+4n, 6p + 6n

3p = $6

8n = $24

12p = $24

2n = $6

9p = $18

4n = $12

6p = $12

6n = $18

and so on...

Paul and his neighbors decided to build a fence along his farm. After three hours, they have 15 meters of fencing complete. They

Goshia [24]

Let the be the time in hours, and meters of fencing completed.

We know that After three hours, they have 15 meters of fencing complete, our graph will go from the point (0,0) to the point (3,15). We also know that they decide to take a 2-hour break for lunch and then resume building the fence, so our graph will go from the point (3,15) to the the point (5,15). Finally, After four more hours, they have a fence that is a total of 55 meters long, so the final part of our graph will go from the point (5,15) to the point (9,55)

We can conclude that the graph of t vs y is:
