A diesel train left Washington and traveled

Mathematics
1 answer:
denpristay [2]3 years ago
8 0

The number of hours the diesel train traveled  before the cattle train caught up is 15 hours

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let t = travel time of the diesel train

Then  (t - 2) is the travel time of the cattle train (Left 2 hrs later)

Average speed of diesel train = 52 mph

Average speed of cattle train = 60 mph

To find: number of hours the diesel train traveled  before the cattle train caught up

Distance = speed x time

<em><u>Distance traveled by diesel train:</u></em>

Distance = 52 x t = 52t

<em><u>Distance traveled by cattle train:</u></em>

Distance = 60 x (t - 2) = 60t - 120

When the cattle train catches the diesel, they will have traveled the

same distance

Distance traveled by diesel train = Distance traveled by cattle train

52t = 60t - 120

60t - 52t = 120

8t = 120

t = 15

Thus the number of hours the diesel train traveled  before the cattle train caught up is 15 hours

Michael saves $423 dollars a month for college.
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

(a). $20,000

(b). The estimate will be lower than the actual amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Michael saves $423 dollars a month for college.

(a). We know that 1 year equals 12 months.

4 years = 4*12 months = 48 months.

\text{Actual amount saved}=\$423\times 48

Since we are asked to find the estimated amount of money Michael will save in 4 years, so we will estimate both quantities as:

423\approx 400\\\\48\approx 50

\text{Actual amount saved}=\$400\times 50

\text{Actual amount saved}=\$20,000

Therefore, Michael will save approximately $20,000 in 4 years.

(b).

The estimate will be lower than the actual amount as we rounded $423 down $23 to nearest hundred that is $400 and rounded 48 up 2 to nearest ten that is 40.

Therefore, the estimate will be lower than the actual amount.
