Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time

so... one train goes west and the goes the opposite way... alrite... so... notice, by the time 338 miles have been covered by both, it will have been "t" hours, and whatever "t" is, is the same amount of time the westbound train has been running as well as the eastbound train has been running.

now, let's say, since by "t" hours they've covered 338 altogether, so, if the westbound train has covered say "d" miles, then the eastbound train would have covered the slack from 338 and d, that is, "338 - d".

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\
&------&------&------\\
Westbound&d&55&t\\
Eastbound&338-d&75&t
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
\boxed{d}=55t\\
338-d=75t\\
----------\\
338-\boxed{55t}=75t
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
338=75t+55t\implies 338=130t\implies \cfrac{338}{130}=t\implies \stackrel{hours}{2.6}=t

so, 2hours and 36 minutes.

The seventh grade choir sold pizzas as a fundraiser. The choir teacher created the graph below for the students.
frez [133]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We are trying to find the profit for every pizza sold. Since looking at the x axis, the point in which its x coordinate is 1 cannot be easily identified. Thus, we shall derive the answer using a point that can be easily identified.

We observe that the two points, (10,12) and (20,24) sits nicely on the graph. I will be using the first coordinate above to derive the answer.

For every 10 pizzas sold, $12 of profit is made.

10 pizzas ----- $12 profit

1 pizza ----- $12 ÷10= $1.20

Hence, the unit rate of profit for the pizzas is $1.20 per pizza.

Suppose that 44 identical red wooden blocks and 99 identical white wooden blocks are to be​ stacked, one on top of​ another, to
kirza4 [7]

44 identical red wooden blocks can be arranged in 44! ways

99 identical white wooden blocks can be arranged in 99! Ways

If the 44 red blocks and the 99 white blocks are to be stacked on top of one another, the number of different color patterns that can​ result = 44! x 99!

 

44! = 2.65827157 x 10^54

99! = 9.33262154 x 10^155

44! x 99! = 2.48086426 x 10^210

 

Therefore, 2.48086426 x 10^210 different color patterns can ​result
