Answer:

2.8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = rate * time

If the west-bound train travels at a rate of 80 mph for t hours, then the distance it travels is 80t.  

If the east-bound train travels at a rate of 90 mph for t hours, then the distance it travels is 90t.

The distance between the trains after t hours is 476; therefore, the distance of the west-bound train plus the distance of the east-bound train equals the total distance between them, 476:

80t + 90t = 476 and

170t = 476 so

t = 2.8 hours

In a class of 40 students, everyone has either a pierced nose or a pierced ear. The professor asks everyone with a pierced nose
ladessa [460]

Answer:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

There are total 40 students in a class

No of students with Pierced Nose n(N)=7

No of students with Pierced ear n(E)=36

and we know using sets

n\left ( N\cup E\right )=n\left ( E\right )+n\left ( N\right )-n\left ( N\cap E\right )

where n\left ( N\cup E\right )=Students either nose or ear Pierced

n\left ( N\cap E\right )=no of students having both nose and ear pierced

40=7+36-n\left ( N\cap E\right )

n\left ( N\cap E\right )=43-40=3
