Answer:

1.3\ days

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the units rate of the first glacier

\frac{75}{3}=25\frac{meters}{day}

using proportion  

\frac{25}{1}\frac{meters}{day}=\frac{200}{x}\frac{meters}{days}\\ \\x=200/25\\ \\x=8\ days

step 2

Find the units rate of the second glacier

\frac{107.5}{5}=21.5\frac{meters}{day}

using proportion  

\frac{21.5}{1}\frac{meters}{day}=\frac{200}{x}\frac{meters}{days}\\ \\x=200/21.5\\ \\x=9.3\ days

step 3

Find the difference

9.3\ days-8\ days=1.3\ days

Given: 4d=1/3(c-d) Proof= c=13d
Reika [66]

Proof:

Multiply both of the sides by 3. You would get 12d = c - d. Add d on both sides, and you would get c = 12d

A 5 mile jogging path diagonal divides a rectangular park in half. The park is 4 miles long. Find the width of the park.
levacccp [35]

Answer:  The required width of the park is 3 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a 5 mile jogging path diagonal divides a rectangular park in half and the park is 4 miles long.

We are to find the width of the park.

As shown in the attached figure below, the diagonal BD divides the rectangle ABCD into two equal parts,

where length DA = 5 miles, BD = 4 miles and AB = width = ?

Since each angle of a rectangle is right-angle, so triangle ABD will be a right-angled triangle.

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle ABD, we have

BD^2=AB^2+DA^2\\\\\Rightarrow AB=\sqrt{BD^2-DA^2}\\\\\Rightarrow AB=\sqrt{5^2-4^2}\\\\\Rightarrow AB=\sqrt{25-16}\\\\\Rightarrow AB=\sqrt{9}\\\\\Rightarrow AB=3.

Thus, the required width of the park is 3 miles.
