Let the time elapsed be x, then
30x + 300 = 55x
55x - 30x = 300
25x = 300
x = 300/25 = 12

Therefore, it will take the express train 12 hours to overtake the freight train.

Given: circle k(O), m AM=125°, m EF=31°, m∠MAF=75°. Find: m∠AME
Bess [88]

Answer:

58°

Step-by-step explanation:

If m AM=125°, then m∠AOM=125°.

If m∠MAF=75°, then m∠MOF=150° (because central angle MOF subtends on the same arc as inscribed angle MAF).

Thus,

m∠FOA=360°-150°-125°=85°.

If mEF=31°, then m∠EOF=31° (as central angle subtended on the arc EF).

Hence,

m∠EOA=m∠EOF+m∠FOA=31°+85°=116°.

Angle EOA is central angle subtended on arc EA, angle AME is inscribed angle subtended on arc AE, thus

m∠AME=1/2m∠EOA=58°.

What is compound interest?​
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Compound interest is the addition of interest to the principal sum of a loan or deposit, or in other words, interest on interest. It is the result of reinvesting interest, rather than paying it out, so that interest in the next period is then earned on the principal sum plus previously accumulated interest.
