Answer:

v_1=3.33 \ miles/hour\\v_2=6.66 \ miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Constant Speed Motion </u>

When the object travels the same distances in the same period of time, the speed is constant and is can be calculated as

\displaystyle v=\frac{x}{t}

where x is the distance and t is the time

There are two canoes traveling at speeds v1 and v2. One of them has twice the speed as the other. Let's say

v_2=2v_1

When t hours have passed, the canoes have traveled x1 and x2 respectively.

x_1=v_1t

x_2=v_2t

Since

v_2=2v_1

Then

x_2=2v_1t

The distance between them is

X=x_2-x_1=2v_1t-v_1t

X=v_1t

That distance is known and equals 11.25 miles, thus

v_1t=15

Solving for v1 and using t=4.5 hours

\displaystyle v_1=\frac{15}{4.5}

v_1=3.33 \ miles/hour

v_2=2\times 3.33

\boxed{v_2=6.66 \ miles/hour}

Can someone please check to see if this is correct?..thanks <br> explanation would be appreciated
forsale [732]

Answer:

yes correct

Step-by-step explanation:

given

5x ≥ 3x + 4 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

2x ≥ 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x ≥ 2 ← is the solution to the inequality

The only value greater than 2 is 3

What's the value of x? 40000mg =10x g
dybincka [34]

The value of x is 4. So 40000 mg= 40 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

      The given is 40000mg = 10x g

Step:1

      Take given equation as equation (1)

                     40000 mg= 10x g.................(1)

      where, X is known value.

Step:2

      Standard value for mg to g for the purpose of conversion of units,

                      1 milligram = 0.001 gram   (or)

                      1 gram = 1000 milligram

Step:3

      From the standard data values,

                    = 40000 mg

      it converted mg to g by dividing 1000

                    = \frac{40000}{1000} g

                    = 40 g.......................(2)

Step:4

       From the Equations (1) and (2),

                 40=10x

                  x=4

Result:

       The value of x is 4. So, 40000mg = 40 g.
