Answer:

Distance between NJH and Jack's home  = 7.10 miles

Distance between NJH and Finn's home  = (14-7.10) = 6.9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Jack lives east of NJH and Finn lives west of NJH.

Distance between Jack and Finn's home = 14 miles

Average speed of Jack = 7 mph

Average speed of Finn = 9 mph

Let the distance between Jack's house and NJH is '(x)' miles.

So the distance between Finn's house and NJH is '(14-x)' miles.

According to the question:

Time taken by both Finn and Jack are equal to reach home.

Considering t_1 is the time taken by Jack and t_2 is the time taken by Finn to reach home.

So,

⇒ t_1=t_2

We have to find the time taken.

⇒ Time taken by Jack.            ⇒ Time taken by Finn.

⇒ t_1=\frac{distance}{speed}                          ⇒ t_2=\frac{distance}{speed}

⇒ t_1=\frac{x}{7} mph                           ⇒ t_2=(\frac{14-x}{9} + \frac{15\ min}{60\ min}) mph   <em> ...15 min extra </em>

  Equating both t_1 and t_2 :

⇒ t_1=t_2

⇒ \frac{x}{7} =\frac{14-x}{9} +\frac{1}{4}

⇒ \frac{x}{7} =\frac{56-4x+9}{36}

⇒ \frac{x}{7} =\frac{65-4x}{36}

⇒ Cross multiplying.

⇒ x(36)=7(65-4x)

⇒ 36x=455-28x

⇒ 36x+28x=455

⇒ 64x=455

⇒ x=\frac{455}{64}

⇒ x=7.10 miles

Distance between NJH and Jack's home = (x) = 7.10 miles

Distance between NJH and Finn's home = (14-x) = (14-7.10) = 6.9 miles

F(x) = 5x2 − 70x + 258. Complete the square.
astraxan [27]
5(x^2 - 14x + 258/5)
= 5((x-7)^2 -49+258/5)
= 5((x-7)^2 + 13/5)
= 5(x-7)^2 + 13

247 is 38 percent of what amount? ❓
prisoha [69]
The question is asking that X times 38% will equal to 247. So we set up the equation:

x *  \frac{38}{100}  = 247

Then, we multiply both sides by \frac{100}{38}

and we get the answer is 650

A park has two biking trails. Tailand Trail is 5 3/10 long. Mayland Trail is 2 4/5 miles long. How much longer is Tailand Trail
zvonat [6]

Answer: 2 1/2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To subtract fractions with different denominators (in this problem they are 10 and 5), you have to find the least common denominator or LCD (10). Then you have to multiply the numerator and the denominator of 4/5 by 2 to turn the denominator into the LCD (10).

1. So 2 4/5 turns into 2 8/10

2. Then subtract 2 8/10 from 5 3/10 to get the answer 2 1/2
