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

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we have the ratio
To write as percent, multiply the ratio by 100
so
Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
-4t+15=-1
Subtract 15 on both sides:
-4t=-16
Divide -4 on both sides:
t=-4
Answer:
<h2>7.4inches</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Check the attachment for the diagram. Sine rule will be used to get the unknown side of the triangle.
According to the rule;
Given w = 3 in, ∠W=23° and ∠U=73°, on substituting into the equation above to get u we have;
The length of u is 7.4inches to nearest 10th of an inch
