Answer: 1 hour 15min

Step-by-step explanation:

When Paul passes the gas station Mary si already 12.5 miles away

X=v t = 50mph 0.25h = 12.5 miles. (15min equals a quarter hour)

From that moment to the meeting point we’ll have only one t (time) and one x (final point) for both cars

For Mary we have

X= Xo + v t= 12.5 miles + 50mph t

For Paul we have

X=v t = 60mph t

As x si the same in both equations

60mph t = 12.5 miles + 50mph t

(60mph - 50mph) t = 12.5miles

10mph t = 12.5miles

t = 12.5miles/10mph

t = 1,25 h

C(1)=−20<br> c(n)=c(n−1)+10<br><br> Find the second term in the sequence. <br> ​
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

c(2) = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

The first equation says that the first term of the sequence is -20.

The second equation is saying that to find any term of the sequence, add 10 to the previous term.

c(2) = c(2-1) + 10

c(2) = c(1) + 10

c(2) = -20  + 10 = -10

What is the answer to 2 1/4 x 3 1/9
vlada-n [284]
2 1/4 times 3 1/9

Make the fractions into decimals

So now it’s 2.25 times 3.11...

Multiply that to get 6.99 but since the 3.11... is a repeated sequence you would round it to 7, which is your answer!
