<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

FirstCarSpeed=41mph\\SecondCarSpeed=55mph

<h2>Why?</h2>

To calculate the speed of the cars, we need to write two equations in order to create a relation between the two speeds and be able to isolate one in function of the other.

So, let be the first car speed "x" and the second car speed "y", writing the equations we have:

For the first car:

x_{FirstCar}=x_o+v*t

For the second car:

We know that the speed of the second car is the speed of the first car plus 14 mph, so:

x_{SecondCar}=x_o+(v+14mph)*t

Now, we already know that both cars met after 2 hours and 45 minutes, meaning that positions will be the same at that moment, and the distance between A and B is 264 miles,  so, we can calculate the relative speed between them:

If the cars are moving towards each other the relative speed will be:

RelativeSpeed=FirstCarSpeed-(-SecondCarspeed)\\\\RelativeSpeed=x-(-x-14mph)=2x+14mph

Then, since we know that they covered a combined distance which is equal to 264 miles of distance in 2 hours + 45 minutes, we  have:

2hours+45minutes=120minutes+45minutes=165minutes\\\\\frac{165minutes*1hour}{60minutes}=2.75hours

Writing the equation, we have:

264miles=(2x+14mph)*t\\\\264miles=(2x+14mph)*2.75hours\\\\2x+14mph=\frac{264miles}{2.75hours}\\\\2x=96mph-14mph\\\\x=\frac{82mph}{2}=41mph

We have that the speed of the first car is equal to 41 mph.

Now, for the second car we have that:

SecondCarSpeed=FirstCarSpeed+14mph\\\\SecondCarSpeed=41mph+14mph=55mph

Hence, we have that:

FirstCarSpeed=41mph\\SecondCarSpeed=55mph

Have a nice day!

a store sells grass seed in small bags and large bags.the small bags have 7 pounds of seed for 27.93 and large bags cost 66.98.w
Nonamiya [84]

Answer

Find out the ratio of price to pound for each bag.

To prove

As given

A store sells grass seed in small bags and large bags.the small bags have 7 pounds of seed for $27.93 .

7 pound = $27.93

Now find out the cost for the 1 pound.

1\ pound\ cost= \frac{27.93}{7}

1 pound cost = $3.99

As given large bags cost $66.98.

Now find out pounds in the large bags.

Let us assume that the number of pounds in the large bags be x.

Than

3.99 × x = 66.98

x = \frac{66.98}{3.99}

x = 16.8 pounds (approx)

Now find out the ratio of  price to pound for each bag.

As small bags weight = 7 pounds

Cost of the small bags = $27.93

\frac{Price\ of\ small\ bag}{Cost\ of\ the\ small\ bags} = \frac{27.93}{7}

As large bags weight = 16.8 pounds

Cost of the large bags = $66.98

\frac{Price\ of\ large\ bag}{Cost\ of\ the\ large\ bags} = \frac{66.98}{16.8}

Hence proved

Positive and negative relationships are both examples of linear relationships
NARA [144]

Answer: A. True.

Step-by-step explanation:

A relationship is linear when the points on a scatterplot follow a somewhat straight line pattern. This is the relationship that we will examine. Linear relationships can be either positive or negative. Positive relationships have points that incline upwards to the right. As x values increase, y values increase.

Answer:

10 Milk chocolates

8 dark chocolates

6 white chocolates

24 TOTAL

\frac{10}{24} Probability that Hanissa choose a milk chocolate

Now, since she has already eaten one chocolate, then what's left is 23 chocolates.

So, since the second one should be a white chocolate and there are 6 of them, then

\frac{6}{23} - probability of choosing a white chocolate.

Then, multiply,

( \frac{10}{24} )( \frac{6}{23} )= \frac{60}{552} or \frac{5}{46}

Answer: 5/46 or 10.87%

Step-by-step explanation:
