Using proportions, it is found that Ermias is traveling at a rate of 11 mph and Jeremiah at a rate of 19 mph.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
Jeremiah travels 8 mph faster than Ermias, hence their velocities are:
x, x + 8
They travel in opposite directions, hence in one hour they are 2x + 8 apart.
In eight hours, the distance is 8(2x + 8), which is of 240 miles, hence:
8(2x +8) = 240
2x + 8 = 30
2x = 22
x = 11.
Then:
- x = 11 + 8 = 19 -> Jeremiah.

A "cross section" is basically the two-dimensional face that you get when you cut a three-dimensional figure a certain way. For example, imagine you're buttering your bread. When you cut a pat of butter off, what shape is left on the butter? A square!
So, imagine cutting a ball in half. What shape is left? A circle!
Answer: circle
Answer:15
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi I'm lala my sister does this alot I wanna retry it did I get it right I guessed
V=(π)(r^2)(h)
π=3
r=half of the diameter=4
h=12
V=(3)(4^2)(12)
= (3)(16)(12)
= 576 cm cubed
Answer:
($) 60 is the profit per item when the selling price is reduced by 20%
Step-by-step explanation: 20% of 700 is 140.
The original profit is 700 - 500 = 200. The selling price is 140 less, Subtract 140 from 200. That leaves a profit of 60. (Not necessarily dollars, as the currency was not given in the question.)
