The top running speed of a cheetah is double the top running speed of a jackal. The top running speed of an elk is 11 miles per

hour faster than that of
a jackal. If each of these three animals could run at top speed for an hour (which, of course, is not possible), they could run a combined distance of 151

miles. What is the top running speed of each of these three animals?

Answer:

The speed of Jackal is 35 miles per hour.

The speed of Cheetah is 70 miles per hour.

The speed of Elk is 46 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let J represents the top speed of jackal.

The top running speed of a cheetah is double the top running speed of a Jackal.

This can be written as:

Cheetah = 2J

The top running speed of an elk is 11 miles per hour faster than that of  a Jackal.

Elk = J + 11

If each of these three animals could run at top speed for an hour (which, of course, is not possible), they could run a combined distance of 151.

This can be written as:

2J+J+J+11=151

4J=151-11

4J=140

J=35

Hence, the speed of Jackal is 35 miles per hour.

The speed of Cheetah is 2J = 2×35 = 70

Hence, the speed of Cheetah is 70 miles per hour.

The speed of Elk is J + 11 = 35+11 = 46

The speed of Elk is 46 miles per hour.

Mr. Pham wrote the equation below on the board. 18 - 7x = -20.5 What is the value of x?
slavikrds [6]
Use the arithmetic operations to get the variable x on one side of the equation and everything else on the opposite side.

If something is being is being done to a variable, we undo that operation by using the inverse of that operation.

For example, if 10 is being added to x, we use the inverse of addition or subtraction.

18 - 7x = -20.5

We variable x is being multiplied by 7 and is subtracting 18. We need to undo all those operations.

18 - 7x = -20.5
-7x = -38.5

Now the variable is only being multiplied by -7. Reverse the operation.

-7x = -38.5
x = 5.5

So, x is equal to 5.5.

The distance from the center of a carousel to the
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

\fbox{\begin{minipage}{3.5em}338 (ft)\end{minipage}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem could be simplified as following:

Given:

The radius of a circle O is 26 feet.

Solve for:

The length of arc on circle O that measures 13 radians

Solution:

Step 1: Let's find out the correct formula to apply:

The formula to calculate the length of an arc measuring x radians on a circle with radius r feet is:

L = r*x

Step 2: Let's put the data into formula to work out the length L of arc:

L = 26*13 = 338 (ft)

=>  The distance that a horse does on the outer edge travel  when the carousel rotates through 13 radians: L = 338 (ft)

Hope this helps!
