(n+20)*2 = 99.2

distribute

2n + 40 = 99.2

subtract 40 from each side

2n = 59.2

divide each side by 2

n = 29.6

Aneesha travels at a rate of 50 miles per hour. Morris is traveling 3 feet per second less than Aneesha. Which is the best estim
astra-53 [7]
It would be nice to know some options, but here's Morris's speed.
Since Morris is traveling at three feet per second, we want to change it to per hour.
3 * 3600 = 10800 feet per hour
And we would want to convert that to miles per hour.
10800/5280 is about 2, more specifically 2.05 ish.
So Morris is traveling 2 mph less then 50, or about 48 mph.

A kitten and a puppy found a sausage which is 14cm long and started eating it simultaneously from each end. The kitten is eating
julsineya [31]

It takes them 12 seconds to eat the whole sausage.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed is the rate of change of distance.

Analysis:

If kitten eats x cm, then puppy will eat 14 - x cm

speed = d/t

speed of kitten = 1/2

speed of puppy = 2/3

1/2 = x/t

2/3 = 14 - x / t

t = 2x--------1

2t = 3(14 - x ) -------- 2

substitute t in equation 2

2(2x) = 3(14 - x)

4x = 42 - 3x

7x = 42

x = 42/7 = 6cm

substitute value of x in equation 1

t = 2(60 = 12 seconds.

In conclusion, it takes the both animals 12 seconds to finish the sausage.
