Answer:

18 + 22.5 = 40 + .5; confirms out solution

Step-by-step explanation:

A man travels from Town X to Town Y at an average rate of 50 mph and returns at an average rate of 40 mph. He takes a 1/2 hour longer than he would take if he made the round trip at an average of 45 mph. What is the distance from Town X to Town Y

:

Let d = distance from x to y

:

Write a time equation; time = distance%2Fspeed

Different speed roundtrip time = 1 speed roundtrip time + half/hour

d%2F50 + d%2F40 = 2d%2F45 + 1%2F2

Multiply equation by 1800 to get rid of the denominators:

1800*d%2F50 + 1800*d%2F40 = 1800*2d%2F45 + 1800*1%2F2

Cancel the denominators and you have:

:

36d + 45d = 40(2d) + 900

:

81d = 80d + 900

:

81d - 80d = 900

:

d = 900 miles from x to y

:

:

Check solution in: d%2F50 + d%2F40 = 2d%2F45 + 1%2F2

900%2F50 + 900%2F40 = 1800%2F45 + 1%2F2

18 + 22.5 = 40 + .5; confirms out solution

Mika read a 405- page book in 6 hours, how many pages per minute did she read?
barxatty [35]
Divide 405 by 6 which is 67.5
So 67.5 per hour but it wants minutes
So divide 67.5 by 60 (minutes in an hour) and you’ll get 1.125 pages per minute

Referring to triangle ABC, find the area of the triangle.
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Area = 337

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a = 42.5

c = 35.5

B = 153.5^\circ

Required

Area of triangle

This is calculated as:

Area = 0.5 *a* c * \sin(B)

This gives:

Area = 0.5 *42.5* 35.5 * \sin(153.5)

Area = 0.5 *42.5* 35.5 * 0.4462

Area = 336.602125

Area = 337 --- approximated
