IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

(1/6)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the fraction that is equivalent to 1/36.

Let us look at each of them individually:

a. $(\frac{1}{108})^3 = \frac{1}{1259712}$

b. $(\frac{1}{9})^4 = \frac{1}{6561}$

c. $(\frac{1}{6})^2 = \frac{1}{36}$

d. $(\frac{1}{5})^2 = \frac{1}{25}$

Therefore, the correct answer is c.

City A is 10 miles from city B and 5 miles from city C. Cities A, B, and C form a right triangle at A. A road connects cities B

laila [671]

Answer:

11.18 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of a right triangle a, b, c are related by the equation

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where c is the longest side of the triangle

Hence given that A connects B and C directly and forms a right angle at A

5^2 + 10^2 = c^2

Where c is the length of the road

25 + 100 = c^2

125 = c^2

c = 125^1/2

= 11.18 miles

at 1:30 in the afternoon an old freight train and a new dart express train pull out of the new garland station going in opposite

nydimaria [60]

Solution: The speed of old freight train is 0.5 miles per minute and the speed of new dart express train is 1.5 miles per minute.

Explanation:

Let the speed of old freight train is x miles per minute and the speed of new dart express train is y miles per minute.

It is given that the speed of the dart express train is three times faster than the freight train. So, it can be written as,

$3x=y$ ....(1)

The trains are moving towards the opposite directions, therefore the distance between them is increased at the speed of $(x+y)$ miles per minute.

$Distance=Speed\times Time$

The distance between both train in 15 minutes is represented by $15(x+y)$ .

According to the given information the distance between trains is 30 miles in 15 minutes.

$15(x+y)=30$

$x+y=2$

Use equation (1) and put $y=3x$

$x+3x=2$

$4x=2$

$x=0.5$

Put this value in equation (1), to find the value of y.

$y=3(0.5)$

$y=1.5$

Therefore, the The speed of old freight train is 0.5 miles per minute and the speed of new dart express train is 1.5 miles per minute.
