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.

What is the base area.
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Area of the base is 10.5 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for the volume of the given oblique prism = Area of the triangular base × Vertical height between two triangular bases

Vertical height = 6 cm

Volume = 63 cm³

From the formula,

63 = Area of the triangular base × 6

Area of the base = \frac{63}{6}

                            = 10.5 cm²

Therefore, area of the base is 10.5 cm².

Order from least to greatest
Orlov [11]
Answer: 
In order from least to greatest: 0.25, 3 ⅜, 3 <span>⅖</span>; 

Or, write as: 0.25 < 3 ⅜ < 3 ⅖ .
___________________________________
Explanation:

0.25 =  ¼ l  (less than "1"); the lowest of the three given values. 

The remaining two values have the same whole number of 3, and a fraction:
   3 <span>⅖ ;</span> and 3 ⅜.

The least common multiples among the denominators of the fraction values is 40.   ⅖ = ?/40 ; 5*? =40? 5* 8 = 40, so 2*8 = 16;
Thus, ⅖ = 16/40, and 3 ⅖ = 3 16/40.  3/8 = ?/40? 8*5 =40; so 3*5 = 15 ; thus ⅜ = 15/40; and
and 3 ⅜ = 3 15/40.
3 15/40 is less than than 3 16/40;  
as such; 3 ⅜ is less than 3 ⅖.

So, in order from least to greatest: 0.25, 3 ⅜, 3 ⅖; 
Or, write as: 0.25 < 3 ⅜ < 3 ⅖ .

Solve for m. (-11/6) + m = -2/9
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

m = \frac{29}{18}

Step-by-step explanation:

=> (-11/6) + m = -2/9

Adding 11/6 to both sides

=> m = -\frac{2}{9} + \frac{11}{6}

LCM = 18

=> m = \frac{-4+33}{18}

=> m = \frac{29}{18}
