The man travelled in different ways: by rail, by taxi, by ___ and by foot. I placed a blank there because there seems to be a missing word in the given problem above. For sample purposes, let's just assume that is travel by bus.
Since all of these travels are equal to 1 whole journey, you can express each travel as a fraction. When you add them up, the answer would be 1. So,
3/8 + 1/4 + 1/8 + x = 1
The variable x here denotes the fraction of his travel by foot. We are only given the exact distance travelled on foot which is 2 km. We have to find the fraction of the travel by foot to determine the length of the total distance travelled. Solving for x,
x = 1 - 3/8 - 1/4 - 1/8
x = 1/4
That means that the travel by foot comprises 1/4 of the whole journey. Thus,
Let total distance be D.
1.4*D = 2 km
D = 8 km
Therefore, the man travelled a total of 8 kilometers.
Wheres the rest of the problem? or is this it?
The factor of intensity increase for each whole number increase in the Richter scale is 10. This is because the Richter scale is a logarithmic scale that has a base of 10. As an example, a Richter scale of 1 increased to 2 will have an intensity increase of
10^2 / 10^1 = 10
Answer:
maybe 15 students or 63 students and if not I am sorry of that's wrong
2x - 2y = -12
4x - 7y = -15
Multiply the first equation by -2 to make the 2x the opposite of 4x:
2x - 2y = -12 x -2 = -4x + 4y = 24
Now add this to the second equation:
-4x + 4y = 24 + 4x - 7y = -15:
-3y = 9
Divide both sides by -3
y = 9 / -3
y = -3
Now you have Y, replace y in one of the equations and solve for x:
2x - 2(-3) = -12
2x +6 = -12
Subtract 6 from both sides:
2x = -18
Divide both sides by 2:
x = -18 /2
X = -9
Check:
2(-9) - 2(-3) = -12
-18 + 6 = -12 TRUE
4(-9) - 7(-3) = -15
-36 +21 = -15 TRUE
X = -9, y = -3
(-9,-3)
