Answer:

120 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A slope of 12/100 means for every 12 units of distance you move horizontally you descend by 100 of the same units vertically. Assuming now that the slope does not change, i.e it remains constant throughout your trip; descending by 1000 ft should mean you have moved horizontally by 120 ft so that the slope is maintained.

x/1000 = 12/100

x = 120 ft

Georgia [21]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • Washington had 196 hits
  • Sanchez had 194 hits

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the number of hits Sanchez had. Then Washington had (s+2) hits, and their hit total was ...

  s +(s+2) = 390

  2s = 388 . . . . . . subtract 2

  s = 194 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

Sanchez had 194 hits; Washington had 196.

Corey and Devante both leave the park at the same time but in opposite directions if Corry travels 30 mph and Devonta travels 22
telo118 [61]

Answer:

  2 hours 1 minute 9.23 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they are traveling in opposite directions, their separation speed is the sum of the magnitudes of their speeds: 30 +22 = 52 mph.

The time is related to speed and distance by ...

  time = distance / speed

  = (105 mi)/(52 mi/h = 2 1/52 h ≈ 2 h 1 min 9.23 sec

It will take a little over 2 hours before they are 105 miles apart.
