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

How do I solve x≤100
Molodets [167]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

There's really nothing to solve here.  Rather, you should describe what x≤100 represents.

To draw an appropriate graph, draw an x-axis, mark x=100 with a black dot, and then draw an arrow to the left from this dot.  That's it.  "All x less than or equal to 100."

If you draw a tree to show the number of ways to spin a spinner with three regions twice, how many possibilitdies would there be
LenaWriter [7]

Answer: There would be 9 possibilities.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of regions in the spinner = 3

if we spin the spinner twice, then by using fundamental principal of counting , the number of possibilities is given by :-

3\times3=9

Therefore, there would be 9 possibilities.

  • The Fundamental Counting Principle is a method to calculate the number of possibilities by multiplying the events together to get the total number of possibilities.
