Good to see you here. Now back to the train. 

Kaduna, K                                                                                   Lagos, L
 
Train leaves at 64 km/h

One hour late second train leaves Lagos at 96 km/h.

At the point they meet, if first train has been travelling for "x" hours. Second train has been travelling for (x-1) hour.

At the point the meet, the total distance travelled is equal to 624 km.

Therefore:

64(x) + 96(x-1) = 624
64x + 96x - 96 = 624
160x = 624+96
160x =       720             , x = 720/160 = 4.5

So when they meet, the first train which left Kaduna has travelled= 64x = 64*4.5= 288km from Kaduna.

So it is (624-288) km from Lagos. = 336 Km from Lagos.

Second train which left Lagos has travelled = 96(x-1) = 96(4.5-1) = 336km.
The second train is also 336 km away from Lagos.

Cheers.

When Anders make scones he uses sugar, butter and flour in the ration 2:3:6. Hehas 200g of sugar, 300g of butter and 450g of flo
katovenus [111]

The amounts of sugar, butter, and flour used are 150 grams, 225 grams, and 450 grams, respectively.

Anders makes scones with three ingredients : sugar, butter, and flour. The ratio of the amounts of sugar, butter, and flour is 2:3:6. The available amounts of the ingredients in the kitchen include 200 grams of sugar, 300 grams of butter, and 450 grams of flour. He makes as many scones as he can with these ingredients.

Let the amounts of sugar, butter, and flour be 2x, 3x, and 6x, respectively. The maximum proportion is for flour. The amount of flour used is 450 grams. The amount of butter used is half of that of the flour. The amount of sugar is one-third of that of flour.

B = (3x/6x)*450 = 225

S = (2x/6x)*450 = 150

At the beginning of spring, Taylor planted a small sunflower in her backyard. When it was first planted, the sunflower was 25 in
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sunflower then began to grow at a rate of 2 inches per week. This means that the rate of growth of the sunflower is in arithmetic progression. We would apply the formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence which is expressed as

Tn = a + d(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

d represents the common difference.

n represents the number of terms in the sequence.

From the information given,

a = 25 inches

d = 2 inches

To determine the height after 7 weeks, T7

n = 7

T7 = 25 + 2(7 - 1)

T7 = 25 + 12

T7 = 37 inches

To determine the height after w weeks, Tw

n = w

Tw = 25 + 2(w - 1)

Tw = 25 + 2w - 2

Tw = 23 + 2w
