Liza is driving to her sister's house 360 miles away. After 4 hours, Liza is 2 3 of the way there.
DochEvi [55]

Liza is driving to her sister's house 360 miles away. After 4 hours, Liza is 2/3 of the way there.   How many more hours  does Liza have to drive?

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

Liza need to drive 2 more hours to reach her sister house

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that Liza is driving to her sister's house 360 miles away

So total distance = 360 miles

After 4 hours, Liza is 2/3 of the way there.

\frac{2}{3} r d \text { of total distance }=\frac{2}{3} \times 360=240

So Liza has covered 240 miles in 4 hours

Let us find the speed

<em><u>The relation between distance and speed is given as:</u></em>

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

speed = \frac{240}{4} = 60

Thus speed = 60 miles per hour

Assuming speed is same throughout the journey, let us calculate the time taken to complete remaining distance

Remaining distance = 360 - 240 = 120 miles

Now distance = 120 miles and speed = 60 miles per hour

time taken = \frac{distance}{speed}\\\\time taken = \frac{120}{60} = 2

Thus Liza need to drive 2 more hours to reach her sister house

Trevor tutors French for $12 an hour and scoops ice cream for $8 an hour. He is going to work 20 hours this week. At least how m
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let M = total amount of money earned

M = 12x+8y

To make more than $190, the equation is:

190<12x+8y

Since Trevor is going to scoop ice cream for 20 hours, the equation is:

190<12x+8(20), which simplifies to 190<12x+160.

Isolate x to find the amount of hours that Trevor needs to tutor.

190-160<12x

30<12x

30/12<x

2.5<x

Trevor must tutor for more than 2.5 hours to make more than $190.

O A PQR is reflected over the x-axis. What are the<br> coordinates of O'?
topjm [15]

Answer:

(8,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

When reflecting something across the X axis the y axis coordinate is the one that will change to put the position further up or down.  In this case we are moving it down to the same amount below the axis that it is now above it.  That means that since it is currently 2 above the X axis it would then be 2 below the X axis making it at -2 so the coordinates would be (8,-2)

I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to ask if there is anything still unclear!
