Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, it is important to know where the train that leaves Washington will get after one hour since they didn't start at the same time between noon and 1 is 1 hour.

Speed = distance / time

Distance = speed * time

The distance S = 44 * 1

S= 44m

To determine the time they will pass each other

500(total distance)- 44 ( distance gotten to in 1 hour) - d(the distance it willl pass each other =44* t(time the train will pass each other.

456-d =44t

Second train

d = 32t

Substituting to the equation

456-32t=44t

456=76t

t= 6 hours.

The time they will pass each other is six hours.

Alona [7]
Probably y = 8x. 56 = 8(7), so that works. Without more data, I couldn't say if it could be something else, so that's what I go with.

52,908 round to the nearest hundred.
IrinaVladis [17]

The hundredth is the 3rd number after the decimal place (so the 9). Look at the number before it and if it is 5 or above then round it to the next hundredth. In this case it is only a zero so we don't change the 9 just substitute it 0's. Therefore the answer is 52,900.

If you need further help let me know, hope this helped you.
