<u>Answer:</u>

An equation that relates the speeds of the two legs of the trip

  \frac{640}{x-40}+\frac{640}{x}=4

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given, we have to use x to represent the speed on the second leg

Speed on first leg when increasing your speed by 40 mph will be (x-40)

Distance is given as 640 miles and time is calculated as  

\text { Time }=\frac{\text { Distance travelled }}{\text { speed }}

According to the question, increasing speed saved four hours

Therefore, the equation that relates the speeds of the two legs of the trip will be

\frac{640}{x-40}+\frac{640}{x}=4

The answer is D. 200m = 2cm. That's because to get from meters to centimeters, you need to multiply by 100. 200 * 100 is not 2, therefore D is the answer.

Sissy wants to enlarge a picture of a princess so that she can put it on the wall in her daughter’s room. What will be the area
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

= 486 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear scale factor = Image distance/object distance

Therefore; Linear scale factor = OL'/OL

                                                 = 54/ 12

                                                 = 9/2

Area scale factor is equivalent to the square of linear scale factor

Thus;

Area scale factor = (9/2)²

                             = 81/4

Hence; 81/4 = Area of larger rectangle/Area of smaller rectangle

Area of the smaller rectangle = 4 ×6 = 24 in²

Therefore;

Area of enlarged or larger pic = 81/4× 24

                                                  <u>= 486 in²</u>

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

- 6 < x < 1

Step-by-step explanation:

first things first:

- 7 < 2x  + 5 \\  - 7 - 5 < 2x  + 5 - 5 \\  - 12 < 2x \\  - 6 < x

now:

2x + 5 < 7 \\ 2x + 5 - 5 < 7 - 5 \\ 2x < 2 \\ x < 1

now the intersection is:

- 6 < x < 1

In the figure, parallel lines r and s are cut by line t
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

<u>x = 49</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the line is parallel, the value of 2x - 8 is equal to 90.

=> 2x - 8 = 90

=> 2x = 98

=> <u>x = 49</u>

How do you measure the perimeter of a shape​
Advocard [28]

Perimeter is a measure of the area or distance around a two-dimensional shape. On a rectangle, for instance, the perimeter is the total length of the rectangle's outline, including the two widthwise borders and the two lengthwise borders.

<u><em> To determine the perimeter of a shape</em></u>, therefore, you add together all the dimensions that make up the shape's outer edge. Being able to find the perimeter of a shape has many applications in the real world. Say, for example, that you wanted to build a fence around your backyard. In order to purchase materials, you need to know how much fencing you'll need, and to determine that you have to figure out the perimeter of the area you want to fence in.
