Answer:
45 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
At 30 mph for 1/4 hour, Peter has a 7.5 mile head start. After he leaves, Mitchell closes that gap at the rate of 40-30 = 10 miles per hour. It will take him ...
t = d/s
t = (7.5 mi)/(10 mi/h) = 0.75 h
to catch Peter.
Mitchell will catch Peter in 45 minutes.
__
<em>Alternate Solution</em>
Another way to look at it is that Mitchell's 10 mph advantage is 1/3 of Peter's speed, so it will take 1/(1/3) = 3 times the period of Peter's head start:
3 × 15 minutes = 45 minutes . . . for Mitchell to catch Peter
_____
You can write equations involving time and distance and see where the distances traveled become the same. You need to be careful choosing the time reference, since you're concerned with Mitchell's travel time. I personally prefer to work "head start" problems by considering the differences in time and speed, as above. This is where you end up using the equations approach, anyway.
The disadvantage of overpaying your taxes during the year is that you cannot use the money or draw interest on it until after you get your tax refund.
If you are overpaying your taxes, the government is holding that extra money for you. At the end of the tax year when you file your taxes, they will give you the extra money back that you overpaid.
However, you don't receive any interest on the extra money that was held.
Answer:
35
Step-by-step explanation:
40*3=120
120-85=35
The answer is A because all the other answers don’t use the cooperative denominators
Answer:
3x + 2y =18
Y= -2/3x + 12
3x + 2(-2/3x+12) = 18
3x + (-4/3x+24) = 18
3x + -1 1/3x +24 =18
1 2/3x +24 = 18
1 2/3x = -6
5/3x = -6
x = -3.75
