It will take them 3 hours to meet

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • Jack and Jill live 345 miles apart from one another
  • They want to meet for lunch and agree to leave the  same time, drive toward each other, and meet somewhere along the route
  • Jack's average rates 60 mph
  • Jill's average rate is 55 mph

We need to find how long it will take them to meet

Distance = Speed × Time

∵ They will drive toward each other at the same time and meet

   each other somewhere

- That means they will drive for the same time

∵ Jack's average rates 60 mph for t hours

∴ Jack will drive a distance = 60 × t = 60 t  miles

∵ Jill's average rate is 55 mph for t hours

∴ Jill will drive a distance = 55 × t = 55 t  miles

∵ The distance between Jack and Jill is 345 miles apart

- Add their distance above and equate the sum by 345

∴ 60 t + 55 t = 345

∴ 115 t = 345

- Divide both sides by 115

∴ t = 3 hours

It will take them 3 hours to meet

Answer: 23! Add your numbers, and divide that sum by the amount of numbers added to get average!

Step-by-step explanation:

The average is found by adding all numbers of the sample, and diving by the amount of numbers added. For example:

The average of 1, 2, and 3. You first add 1 + 2 + 3 to get 6.

You then divide 6 by the number of numbers added, being 3 (1, 2, and 3.).

6 / 3 = 2. The average of 1, 2, and 3 is 2.

In your case, you have 35, 40, 12, 16, 25, and 10.

First you add 35 + 40 + 12 + 16 + 25 + 10 to get 138.

Then you divide 138 by the amount of numbers you added: 6.

138 divided by 6 = 23 (138/6).

Hope this helps!

Add your numbers, and divide that sum by the amount of numbers added to get average!

Answer:

Isosceles Right Triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

We look at the sides first. Two sides are equal, which means that the triangle is isosceles (equilateral means three equal sides, and scalene means no sides equal). Then we look at the only angle indicated, which is the right angle. Thus, we come to the conclusion that the triangle is an Isosceles Right Triangle.
