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.

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

2\frac{2}{19} cases does he hear per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate is expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 3 feet per second or 6 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.

Given: Jerry hears five cases every two and three eights hours.

⇒ 5 cases for every 2\frac{3}{8} =\frac{19}{8}  hours

or we can write this as;

For every \frac{19}{8} hours he hears 5 cases.

Unit rate per hour = \frac{5}{\frac{19}{8}} = \frac{5 \times 8}{19} = \frac{40}{19}=2\frac{2}{19} cases.

Therefore, he hears 2\frac{2}{19} cases per hour at this constant rate.

Lunna [17]

Answer:

\large\boxed{g\bigg(f(2)\bigg)=11}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=3x-2,\ g(x)=x^2-5\\\\g\bigg(f(2)\bigg)=?\\\\\bold{STEP\ 1:}\\\text{Calculate}\ f(2).\\\text{Substitute}\ x=2\ \text{to}\ f(x):\\\\f(2)=3(2)-2=6-2=4\\\\\bold{STEP\ 2:}\\\text{Substitue}\ x=4\ \text{to}\ g(x):\\\\g(4)=4^2-5=16-5=11
