n a particular day, the wind added 2 miles per hour to Alfonso's rate when he was cycling with the wind and subtracted 2 miles p

er hour from his rate on his return trip. Alfonso found that in the same amount of time he could cycle 63 miles with the wind, he could go only 51 miles against the wind.What is his normal bicycling speed with no wind?

Recall your d = rt, or distance = rate * time

notice, the time he took to cover 63 miles with the wind, is the same amount of time he took against it with 51 miles only, let's say, he took "t" hours long
and he was cycling at a rate of "r"

thus    \bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&distance&rate&time\\
&-----&-----&-----\\
\textit{with the wind}&63&r+2&t\\
\textit{against the wind}&51&r-2&t
\end{array}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\

\begin{cases}
63=(r+2)t\implies \cfrac{63}{r+2}=\boxed{t}\\\\
51=(r-2)t\\
----------\\
51=(r-2)\left( \boxed{\cfrac{63}{r+2}} \right)
\end{cases}

solve for "r"

Which of these triangle pairs can be mapped to each other using two reflections? Triangles X Y Z and P Y T are connected at poin
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

The correct option is the first option;

Triangle XYZ and PYT are connected at point Y. Triangle XYZ is reflected across XY and then is reflected another time across YZ to form triangle PYT

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the question we look at each option as follows;

1) The parameters given are triangle XYZ and PYT are connected at point Y

Triangle XY is reflected about XY will shift the marked angle from left to right while the right angle will remain at the same location and the triangle will remain upright to give triangle X'Y'Z'

Reflection about the YZ will give; the marked angle and the right angle in the same location and the vertex X will then be changed to P

Therefore, triangle XYZ can be mapped to triangle PYT with two reflections

2)  In the second option, we have triangle XYZ is reflected 3 times which is more than 2 times as in the question, therefore, option two is less suited as an answer to the question

3) Triangle XYZ is reflected across side XY and then is shifted down to form triangle AYT

Therefore, since we have only one reflection, option 3 is also not appropriate as an answer

4) In option 4 triangle XYZ is reflected and then rotated therefore option 4 is also not a correct option.

Amir ran 26.2 miles in 5 hours. On average,how many miles did he run per hour?
Vinil7 [7]

The answer to the problem is 5.24 and here's why:

If Amir ran 26.2 miles in 5 hours, then in order to find his average number of miles run in an hour, we have to divide the total distance by the time it took him to reach that distance. In this example, his total distance was 26.2 miles, and he ran it in 5 hours, so we would divide 26.2 by 5 (26.2 / 5 = 5.24), and when we do that, we get 5.24 miles per hour.
