Undersea explorers discover a second sentient race living on Earth. This species is scientifically much more advanced but cannot

share its discoveries because it uses a different system of units. Human scientists first try to convert between units of length: they measure a meter as 12 bap'ai and 2 bok'ai or alternatively 10 bap'ai and 10 bok'ai. In centimeters, how much distance is 5 bap'ai and 3 bok'ai?

Answer:

  46 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the length in cm of 1 bap'ai; let k represent the length in cm of 1 bok'ai. Then we have ...

  12p +2k = 100

  10p +10k = 100

Subtracting the second equation from 5 times the first, we get ...

  5(12p +2k) -(10p +10k) = 5(100) -(100)

  50p = 400

  p = 8 . . . . cm

Then the second equation tells us ...

  10(8) +10k = 100

  10k = 20

  k = 2 . . . . cm

Then 5p+3k = 5(8) +3(2) = 46 cm.

The distance 5 bap'ai and 3 bok'ai is 46 cm.

Find the area and perimeter of a rectangle.<br> the length is x+6 the width is x+2
yarga [219]

Answer:

<h2><u><em>Area = x² + 8x + 12</em></u></h2><h2><u><em>Perimeter = 4x + 16</em></u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula:

Area=width×height

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula

Perimeter=2(width+height)

Area

(x + 6) × (x+2) =

x² + 2x + 6x + 12

x² + 8x + 12

------------------

Perimeter

2 × (x + 6 + x + 2) =

2 × (2x + 8) =

4x + 16

Mindy left at 8 a.M. And will arrive at 1 p.M.; jelly left at 8 a.M. And will arrive at 2 p.M. How many miles is the trip if Kel
uysha [10]

Answer:

300 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance equation is D = RT

Where

D is the distance

R is the rate

T is the time

<u>Mindy</u>

8 am to 1 pm = 5 hours

<u>Kelly</u>

8 am to 2 pm = 6 hours

Kelly's rate is 10 mph SLOWER than mindy, so if we let Mindy's rate be "m", so Kelly's rate will be " m - 10 "

Now using the distance equation, we can write:

Mindy >>> D = RT >>> D = 5m

Kelly >>> D = RT >>>  D = 6(m-10) >>> D = 6m - 60

Since both the distances are equal, we can write:

5m = 6m - 60

m = 60

We want the distance, we know:

D = 5m

D = 5(60)

D = 300 miles

The distance is 300 miles
