Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The constant of proportionality is the ratio between two directly proportional quantities. Two quantities are directly proportional when they increase and decrease at the same rate. The constant of proportionality k is given by k=y/x where y and x are two quantities that are directly proportional to each other.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: it will take 2.5 hours for both people to meet after person B leaves.
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between the house of person A and his cousin's house is 234 miles.
At the point where they meet, they would have travelled 234 miles.
Person A travelled at an average speed of 44 miles per hour.
Let t represent the time spent by Person A in travelling from his house to the point where they meet.
Distance = speed × time
Distance covered by person A would be
44 × t = 44t
One and half hours later, person B leaves his house to visit person A, travelling at an average speed of 62 miles per hour. This means that total time spent by person B in travelling to the point where they meet is (t - 0.5) hours. Distance covered would be
62(t - 0.5) = 62t - 31
Since the total distance covered is 234 miles, then
44t + 62t - 31 = 234
106t = 234 + 31 = 265
t = 265/106 = 2.5 hours
Answer:
15 x 10^-1
Step-by-step explanation:
36÷24=1.5
In this case I'm considering 15 as the base of my standard form.
To make 15 a 1.5, you'll have to move from right to left one unit and on the number line moving from the right to left gives you a negative number of units moved
