Answer:

(a)The distance between points N and P is 8 cm.

(b)The distance between points M and N is 16 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Point N lies on the line segment MP.

The distance between M and P is 24 cm.

That is MP= 24 cm

The distance between points N and M is twice longer than between points N and P.

That is

MN = 2 NP.

Since the point N lies on the line segment MP.

So, MN+NP= MP.

∴2 NP + NP= 24       [∵ MP= 24 cm]

⇒3 NP= 24

\Rightarrow NP= \frac{24}{3}

⇒NP= 8

The distance between points N and P is 8 cm.

(b)

Since

MN= 2 NP

⇒MN= 2×8

⇒MN= 16 cm.

The distance between points M and N is 16 cm.

On a given day, 36 of the 445 students in a school were absent. What was the appproximate absentee rate that day?
Nata [24]

Answer: The approximate absentee rate that day would be 8.09%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of students who were absent = 36

Total number of  students = 445

We need to find the approximate absentee rate that day :

Rate of absentee of that day would be

\dfrac{\text{Number of absentee}}{\text{Total number of students}}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{36}{445}\times 100\\\\=8.09\%

Hence, the approximate absentee rate that day would be 8.09%.

Two trains leave a town at the same time heading in opposite directions. One train is traveling 12 mph faster than the
klemol [59]

Answer:

I'm going to paint you a picture in words of what this looks like on paper.  We have a train leaving from a point on your paper heading straight west.  We have another train leaving from the same point on your paper heading straight east.  This is the "opposite directions" that your problem gives you.  

Now let's make a table:

                distance       =        rate      *       time

Train 1

Train 2

We will fill in this table from the info in the problem then refer back to our drawing.  It says that one train is traveling 12 mph faster than the other train.  We don't know how fast "the other train" is going, so let's call that rate r.  If the first train is travelin 12 mph faster, that rate is r + 12.  Let's put that into the table

              distance        =        rate        *        time

Train 1                                        r

Train 2                                    (r + 12)

Then it says "after 2 hours", so the time for both trains is 2 hours:

         

              distance        =        rate        *        time

Train 1                                        r           *          2

Train 2                                  (r + 12)       *          2

Since distance = rate * time, the distance (or length of the arrow pointing straight west) for Train 1 is 2r.  The distance (or length of the arrow pointing straight east) for Train 2 is 2(r + 12) which is 2r + 24.  The distance between them (which is also the length of the whole entire arrow) is 232.  Thus:

2r + 2r + 24 = 232 and

4r = 208 so

r = 52

This means that Train 1 is traveling 52 mph and Train 2 is traveling 12 miles per hour faster than that at 64 mph
