Answer:

The distance to Jackie's friend house is 15 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are outlined as follows;

1) The speed with which Jackie's dad drove her to her friends house = 30 mph

2) The speed Jackie's fiend mom drove her back home on the same route = 25 mph

The time it takes Jackie's friend mom to drive her back home = 6 minutes + The time it took Jackie's dad drove her to her friends house

Let the time, in minutes, it took Jackie's dad drove her to her friends house = t

Therefore;

The time it takes Jackie's friend mom to drive her back home = 6 + t

We have that speed = Distance/Time

∴ For Jackie's friend mom, her speed of 25 mph = (The distance of Jackie's friend house)/(6 + t)

Which gives;

The distance of Jackie's friend house = 25 × (6 + t)

Similarly, for Jackie's dad, his speed of 25 mph = (The distance of Jackie's friend house)/t

Which gives;

The distance of Jackie's friend house = 30 × t

By substitution, we have;

The distance of Jackie's friend house = 25 × (6 + t) = 30 × t

By the distributive property, we have;

150 + 25·t = 30·t

150 = 30·t - 25·t = 5·t

150 = 5·t

t = 150/5 = 30 minutes

t = 30 = 0.5 Hours

Using the equation for the distance to Jackie's friend house derived with the speed of motion of Jackie's dad, we have

The distance to Jackie's friend house = 30 × t = 30 mi/h × 0.5 h = 15 mi

The distance to Jackie's friend house = 15 miles

Similarly, from the equation derived from the speed of motion of Jackie's friend mom, we have;

The distance to Jackie's friend house = 25 × (6 + t) = 25 × (6 + 30)

The distance to Jackie's friend house = 25 mph × 36 minutes

The distance to Jackie's friend house = 25 miles per hour × 0.6 hours = 15 miles

The distance to Jackie's friend house = 15 miles.

Answer:

5\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the length of a vector/line in your case.

L = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2} = \sqrt{[4 - (-1)]^2 + [2 -(-3)]^2} = \sqrt{5^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{50} = 5\sqrt{2}

The nut shack sells cashews for $6.00 per pound and Brazil nuts for $5.00 per pound. How much of each type should be used to mak
Kay [80]

Answer:

Number of pounds of cashews = x = 14.96 pounds

Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y = 19.04 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent:

Number of pounds of cashews = x

Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y

The nut shack sells cashews for $6.00 per pound and Brazil nuts for $5.00 per pound. How much of each type should be used to make a 34 pound mixture that sells for $5.44 per pound

Our system of equations is given as:

x + y = 34...... Equation 1

x = 34 - y

6x + 5y = 34 × 5.44

6x + 5y = 184.96.......Equation 2

Ww substitute : 34 - y for x in Equation 2

6(34 - y) + 5y = 184.96

204 - 6y + 5y = 184.96

Collect like terms

- 6y + 5y = 184.96 - 204

-y = -19.04

y = 19.04 pounds

Solving for x

x = 34 - y

x = 34 - 19.04

x = 14.96 pounds

Number of pounds of cashews = x = 14.96 pounds

Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y = 19.04 pounds
