Lilah is moving from Portland to Seattle. It takes her 3 hours to go by train. Mason leaves the train station in Portland and dr

ives to the train station in Seattle with all Lilah's boxes in his car. It takes him 2.4 hours to get to Seattle, driving at 15 miles per hour faster than the speed of the train. Find Lilah's speed on the train and Mason's speed.

Answer:Lilah's speed on the train is 60 mph and Mason's speed is 75 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of Lilah.

Lilah is moving from Portland to Seattle. It takes her 3 hours to go by train.

Distance = speed × time

Distance covered by Lilah in moving from Portland to Seattle would be

3 × x = 3x

It takes him 2.4 hours to get to Seattle, driving at 15 miles per hour faster than the speed of the train.

It means that Mason's speed is

x + 15

Distance covered by Mason would be

2.4(x + 15) = 2.4x + 36

Since the distance from Portland to Seattle is the same, then

3x = 2.4x + 36

3x - 2.4x = 36

0.6x = 36 x = 36/0.6 = 60 mph

Mason's speed would be 60 + 15 = 75 mph

IgorC [24]
As we know Conversion from fahrenheit to celsius is
F - 32 =  \frac{9C}{5}

We can write it also as

F =  \frac{9C}{5}+32

F as y and C as x then we can write it as

y =  \frac{9x}{5} + 32

Find the measure of the central angle of a sector if its area is 5 pi and the radius is 6
lesantik [10]
For this case we use the following formula
 Area of Sector = Area * radians of sector / 2 * pi radians
 Where,
 Area: it is the area of the complete circle.
 We have then:
 Area = pi * r ^ 2
 Area = pi * (6) ^ 2
 Area = 36pi
 Substituting values:
 5pi = 36pi * radians of sector / 2 * pi
 Clearing:
 radians of sector = ((5pi) * (2pi)) / (36pi)
 radians of sector = (10pi ^ 2) / (36pi)
 radians of sector = (10pi) / (36)
 radians of sector = (10/36) pi
 radians of sector = (5/18) pi
 in degrees:
 (5/18) pi * (180 / pi) = 50 degrees
 Answer:
 The measure of the central angle is:
 50 degrees
