A train traveled from Station A to Station B at an average speed of 80 kilometers per hour and then from Station B to Station C

at an average speed of 60 kilometers per hour. If the train did not stop at Station B, what was the average speed at which the train traveled from Station A to Station C?

Answer:

(i). Average speed = 75 km per hour

(ii). Average speed = 75 km per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is incomplete; here is the complete question.

A train traveled from station A to station B at an average speed of 80 kilometers per hour and then from station B to station C at an average of 60 kilometers per hour. If the train did not stop at station b, what was the average speed at which the train traveled from station A to C?

(i). The distance that the train traveled from station A to station B was 4 times the distance that train traveled from station B to station C.

(ii). The amount of time it took to the train to travel from station A to station B is 3 times the amount of time that it took the train to travel from station B to station C.

(i) Let the distance between station B and station C = x km

So the distance between Station A and station B = 4x km

Therefore, time to travel the distance x km with 80 km per hour = \frac{\text{Distance traveled}}{\text{Speed}}

= \frac{4x}{80}

Similarly time taken to travel between station B and station C with speed 60 km per hour = \frac{x}{60} km per hour

Now average speed between station A and station C = \frac{\text{Total distance between station A and station C}}{\text{time taken to travel}}

= \frac{4x+x}{\frac{4x}{80}+\frac{x}{60}}

= \frac{5x}{\frac{4x}{60} }

= \frac{5\times 60}{4}

= 75 km per hour

(ii). Let the train took the time to cover the distance between station B and station C = t hours

Therefore, time taken by the train between station A and B = 3t

Distance between Station A and station B = Speed × time

= 80 × 3t

= 240t km

Similarly distance between station B and station C = 60 × t

= 60t

Now average speed between station A and station C = \frac{240t+60t}{(3t+t)}

= \frac{300t}{4t}

= 75 km per hour

10 points. Please help me with numbers 9-13.<br> Numbers 9-13 is the picture.
melomori [17]

Answer:

x  = 18

y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

Step One

The main step is to realize that if the lower left hand angle is 90 degrees, then the upper left hand angle is also 90. That is because the interior angles of parallel lines are supplementary. If one of the angle is 90 degrees, so is the other.

<em><u>Conclusion from the Remark</u></em>

5x = 90

x = 90/5

x = 18 degrees

Step Two

Find y

y is just a bit harder to find . The safest way is to add all four interior angles together. For any trap*zoid (you cannot spell this word properly. The editor has a fit), the interior angles add up to 360 degrees.

So just add the 4 angles together and equate to 360

5(y + 11) + 4y  - 10 + 90 + 90 = 360     Combine like terms

5(y + 11) + 4y -  10 + 180 = 360            Combine again

5(y + 11) + 4y + 170 = 360                   Subtract 170 from both sides

5(y + 11) + 4y = 360 - 170                     Combine like terms

5(y + 11) + 4y = 190                             Remove the brackets

5y + 55 + y4 = 190                             Combine like terms

9y + 55 = 190                                     Subtract 55 from both sides.

9y = 190 - 55

9y = 135                                              Divide by 9

y = 135 / 9

y = 15

Dr. Blumen invested $5,000 part of it was invested in bonds at a rate of 6% in the rest was invested in a money market at the ra
abruzzese [7]
So... let's say the amounts invested were "a" at 6% and "b" at 7.5%.

ok.. hmm what's 6% of a? well, (6/100) * a or 0.06a.
what's 7.5% of b? well, (7.5/100) * b or 0.075b.

now... we know, whatever "a" and "b" are, they total the investment of 5000 bucks, thus a + b = 5000

and the interest yielded was 337.50, thus 0.06a + 0.075b = 337.50

thus    \bf \begin{cases}&#10;a+b=5000\implies \boxed{b}=5000-a\\&#10;0.06a+0.075b=337.50\\&#10;----------\\&#10;0.06a+0.075\left( \boxed{5000-a} \right)=337.50&#10;\end{cases}

solve for "a", to see how much was invested at 6%.

what about "b"?  well, b = 5000 - a.
