Answer: 76 miles per hour

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

east bound: t = 4, r = x - 18

west bound: t = 4, r = x

d = r * t

680 = 4(x - 18 + x)

680 = 4(2x - 18)

170 = 2x - 18

188 = 2x

94 = x

eastbound: x - 18   = 94 - 18   = 76

It takes Audrey 3/5 hour to paint 2/5 square yards of wood to be used for making shelves. How many square yards can she paint in
vlabodo [156]
First, you formulate a ratio of Audrey's work time to work done. In this case, 3/5 hour : 2/5 square yards. Expressing and simplifying that into a fraction would yield:

3/5 ÷ 2/5 = 3/5 * 5/2 = 3/2

We use this ratio to determine the sq yards she could paint in an hour:

1 hour * (1/(3/2) = 2/3 square yards

Pocahontas opens a savings account with $640 dollars that earns 3.9% interest per year not compounded. How much money to the nea
solmaris [256]

Given:

Principal value = $640

Rate of interest = 3.9% not compounded

Number of years = 8

To find:

The amount after 8 years.

Solution:

It is given that the interest is not compounded. It means, we need to find simple interest.

Formula for simple interest:

I=P\times r\times t

where, P is principal, r is rate of interest and t is time in years.

Put P=640, r=0.039 and t=8.

I=640\times 0.039\times 8

I=199.68

So, the interest is $199.68.

Now, amount after 8 years is

A=P+I

where, P is principal and I is interest.

A=640+199.68

A=839.68

Therefore, the amount after 8 years is $839.68.
