Answer:

\frac{1000}{x} +\frac{2500}{x-5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Total time T = (distance 1)/ (speed 1) + (distance 2)/ ( speed 2)

Distance covered by the mountaineer = 1000 feet

Speed of climbing = x feet per hour

Time taken will be = \frac{1000}{x}

Additional distance covered by him = 5000 feet

Speed to cover this distance = 2x-10 or 2(x-5)

So, total time T =  \frac{1000}{x} +\frac{5000}{2(x-5)}

T = \frac{1000}{x} +\frac{2500}{x-5}

A mountaineer climbed 1000 feet at a rate of x feet/hour

 1000 = x ( t 1 )         eq1

  5000 = X ( t 2)        eq2     ( he climbed additional at different rate )

the rate was 10 feet / hour less than twice the first rate

 X   = 2x - 10             eq3

take eq1 and eq 2

( total time = t 1 +  t 2 =   T)

T = 1000/x  + 5000/X

but X = 2x-10

T = 1000/x   +  5000/( 2x -10)

T = 1000/x   +  5000/( 2(x-5))

T  = 1000/x   +    2500 /  (x-5)

One angle of a triangle measures 95°. The other two angles are in a ratio of 8:9. What are the measures of those two angles?
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

40 degrees and 45 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If you subtract 95 degrees from a 180-degree triangle, you are left with 85 degrees. To proportionally split them, find two values that add to the same value. Since 40 and 45 make up 80 and they multiply by two to make 80:90, these are the two measures.

Please explain to me how 3.2÷4=0.8 is done
DedPeter [7]

To make it easier just assume there is no decimal point then just work out the 32÷4 where we know that 4 goes into 32 8 times so you get 8 remember the decimal point and since it was one decimal place you will push the decimal over to the left of 8 and that is how you get 0.8
