Let the slower train's velocity be x-21
Let the faster train's velocity be x
We know that the approach speed is the sum of both speeds, so x+x -21= 2x-21.
The approach rate is given by Distance/time = 471/3 = 157mpH
x+x-21=157
2x=157+21
2x=178
x=89mph
The slower train is travelling 89-21 = 68mph
The faster train is travelling 89mph.
Answer:
D. 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the missing length be represented as x.
Thus:
(24 - x)/12 = x/20 => angle bisector theorem
Cross multiply
20(24 - x) = x(12)
480 - 20x = 12x
480 - 20x + 20x = 12x + 20x
480 = 32x
480/32 = 32x/32
15 = x
Missing length = x = 15
Answer:
The number of possible three-digit phone prefixes that are used to represent a particular geographic area is 640.
Step-by-step explanation:
The phone prefixes used to represent a particular geographic area are a 3 digit code consisting of numbers from 0 to 9.
The prefix code are of the form: <u>x</u> <u>x</u> <u>x</u>
Condition: The first or the second place cannot take values 0 or 1.
Then the first place can be occupied by the remaining 8 digits.
Similarly the second place can also be occupied by the remaining 8 digits.
And the third place can be occupied by any of the 10 digits.
So the number of ways to construct a phone prefix for any area is:
Thus, the number of phone prefixes possible for any area is 640.
