Hi,

Let us denote first train with T₁, its distance d₁, its speed v₁ = 85 km/h.

Similarly, second train would be with T₂, its distance d₂, its speed v₂ = 80 km/h. Also, let d be total distance, d = 495 km.

Given being the fact that train T₁ travels north, and train T₂ travels south, their path is on a straight vertical line. Please create a simple drawing, you will see the vertical line immediately.

Then, we need to find the time t, when d₁ + d₂ = d = 495 km (1)

Each speed v₁, and v₂ is constant, therefore we apply very well known formula:

d₁ = v₁·t, and d₂ = v₂·t (2).

From (1) and (2) we have:

v₁·t + v₂·t = d, or (v₁ + v₂)t = d ⇒ t = d/(v₁ + v₂) = 495/(80 + 85) = 495/165 = 3 hours.

So, it takes 3 hours to have those 2 trains 495 km apart.

You are putting a rectangular hot tub on your back porch. It is 6 feet long, 5 feet wide, and 3 feet deep. How much will it cost
sleet_krkn [62]

It costs $ 3.4 to fill the hot tub

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that, You are putting a rectangular hot tub on your back porch

The rectangular hot tub is of shape cuboid

<em><u>The volume of cuboid is given as:</u></em>

\text{Volume of cuboid } = length \times width \times height

It is 6 feet long, 5 feet wide, and 3 feet deep

Therefore,

length = 6 feet

width = 5 feet

height = 3 feet

<em><u>Thus volume of rectangular hot tub is:</u></em>

volume = 6 \times 5 \times 3 = 90

Thus volume of rectangular tub is 90 ft^3

Convert feet to gallons

We know that,

1 cubic feet = 7.48052 gallon

Therefore,

90 cubic feet = 7.48052 x 90 = 673.247

Thus gallons of water tub can hold is 673.247 gallons

Given that it costs $ 5 per 1000 gallons

1000 gallons = $ 5

Therefore,

1 gallons = $ \frac{5}{1000}

<em><u>Find for 673.247 gallons</u></em>

673.247 gallons = \frac{5}{1000} \times 673.247 = 3.366235 \approx 3.4

Thus it costs $ 3.4 to fill the hot tub

14, 15 and 16 please

14). (Take π value as 22/7)
circumference = 66in
2πr = 66in
2×22/7×r = 66
r = 66×7/2×22
r = 21/2in
d = 2r => d = 2×21/2
therefore diameter of the circle = 21in

15). (Take π value as 3.14)
Circumference = 3.14m
2πr = 3.14m
2×3.14×r = 3.14
r = 3.14/3.14×2
r = 1/2m
Therefore the radius of the circle = 0.5m

16). (Take π value as 22/7)
Circumference = 33km
2πr = 33km
2×22/7×r = 33
r = 33×7/2×22
r = 21/4
d = 2r
d = 2×21/4
d = 21/2km
Therefore the diameter of the circle = 10.5km

Before 8 A.M., there were 64 trucks and 24 cars in a parking lot. Between 8 A.M. and 9 A.M., more cars entered the parking lot a
malfutka [58]

Answer:

232 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the number of cars that entered is c.

At 9:00 am, there are a total of 24 + c cars and 64 trucks. We know that this value of 64 represents 1/5 of the total number of vehicles. The total number of vehicles is (24 + c) + 64 = 88 + c. So, we have:

64/(88 + c) = 1/5

Cross-multiply:

88 + c = 64 * 5 = 320

c = 320 - 88 = 232

Thus, the answer is 232 cars.

Note: as 232 doesn't show up in the answer choices, it's possible that the problem was copied correctly.
