A distance of 150 km was covered by a motorcyclist traveling at an average speed of 75 km/h, by a bus at 60 km/h, a truck at 50

km/h, and a bicyclist at 20 km/h. How much time did each require to travel the entire distance? Explain why the speed and the time needed to travel 150 km are inversely proportional quantities. for The motorcyclist required hours, the bus required hours, the truck required hours, the bicyclist required hours.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

A)

  • motorcylcist: 2 hours
  • bus: 2.5 hours
  • truck: 3 hours
  • bicyclist: 7.5 hours

B) It is a matter of definition: speed = distance/time. <em>Speed</em> is proportional to distance and <em>inversely proportional to time</em>.

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Speed is defined as the ratio of distance to the time required to cover that distance:

... speed = distance/time

Solving this relation for time, we have ...

... <em>time = distance/speed</em>

a) For each of the modes of transportation, we can find the time by using this relation.

... motorcyle: (150 km)/(75 km/h) = 2 h

... bus: (150 km)/(60 km/h) = 2.5 h

... truck: (150 km)/(50 km/h) = 3 h

... bicycle: (150 km)/(20 km/h) = 7.5 h

b) For a given distance, speed and time are inversely related as a matter of definition.

rachel is frosting the top of two cakes and wants to know which cake will require more frosting. one cake is round with a diamet
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The square cake is has a larger area by about 40.73 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the top of each cake.

The square cake has an area of 81 sq inches,   ( length x width = Area, the

                                                                                    length is 9)

The round cake has an area of 16π, which is about 50.27 square inches

  (A = πr², here r is 4, radius is half the diameter)

81 - 16π =  81 - 50.27 =  40.73 square inches

A pentagonal prism has a height of 9 feet, and each base edge is 3 feet. Find the volume. Round your answer to the nearest hundr
OLga [1]

Height of the pentagon = 9 ft

Edge of base = 3 ft

area of pentagon = \frac{s^{2}n}{4 tan\left ( \frac{180}{n} \right )}

s is the length of any side = 3

n is the number of sides = 5

tan is the tangent function calculated in degrees

\\ \\\\area of pentagon = \frac{3^{2}(5)}{4 tan\left ( \frac{180}{5} \right )}\\\\\\area of pentagon = \frac{9(5)}{4 tan\left ( 36 \right )}\\\\area of pentagon = \frac{45}{4  ( 0.7265 )}\\\\area of pentagon = \frac{45}{2.906}\\\\area of pentagon = 15.4852

Volume of the pentagon = area of base (height )

Volume of the pentagon = 15.4852 (9)

Volume of the pentagon = 139.366

Volume of the pentagon = 139.37 cu.ft

mina [271]
Calculate both of those per hour:
2/3 crate / hour
1.25 crates / 2 hours = 5/8 crates / hour

2/3 + 5/8 = 16/24 + 15/24 = 31/24 per hour =

124 / 24 crates in 4 hours = 5 (4/24) crates =
