3 Elena and Jada are 32 miles apart on a path when they start

Mathematics

kumpel [21]3 years ago

Answer:

The hours it takes Elena to meet Jada = 4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between Elena and Jada = 32 miles

The speed with which Elena runs = 6 miles per hour

The speed with which Jada walks = 2 miles per hour

Let t, represent the time it takes until Elena and Jada meets, we have;

Distance = Speed × Time

The total distance covered by both Elena and Jada before they meet = The distance between them = 32 miles

The distance covered by Elena before meeting Jada = Elena's speed × The time that elapsed for them to meet

∴ The distance covered by Elena before meeting Jada = 6 mph × t

The distance covered by Jada before meeting Elena = Jada's speed × The time that elapsed for them to meet

∴ The distance covered by Jada before meeting Elena = 2 mph × t

The total distance covered by both Elena and Jada before they meet = The distance covered by Elena before meeting Jada + The distance covered by Jada before meeting Elena = 32 miles

∴ The total distance covered by both Elena and Jada before they meet = 6 mph × t + 2 mph × t = 32 miles

t × (6 mph + 2 mph) = 32 miles

t × 8 mph = t × 8 miles/hour = 32 miles

t = 32 miles/(8 miles/hour) = 4 hours

The time it takes until Elena and Jada meets = t = 4 hours

Ella has 0.5 lb of sugar. how much water should she add to make the following concentrations? Tell Ella how much syrup she will
makkiz [27]

Answer:

For 50% syrup, add 0.5 lb of water for 1 lb of syrup; for 5% syrup, add 9.5 lb of water for 10 lb of syrup; for 75% syrup, add 0.17 lb of water for 0.67 lb of syrup; for 1.5% syrup, add 32.8 lb of water for 33.3 lb of syrup.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of water added.  This means the total mass of the syrup is represented by 0.5+x.

To find percentages, we divide the part by the whole.  For a 50% syrup, we need the part (sugar) compared to the whole (sugar + water) to equal 50%, or 0.50:

Multiply both sides by 0.5+x:

Using the distributive property, we have

0.5 = 0.5(0.5)+0.5(x)

0.5 = 0.25+0.5x

Subtract 0.25 from each side:

0.5-0.25 = 0.25+0.5x-0.25

0.25 = 0.5x

Divide both sides by 0.5:

0.25/0.5 = 0.5x/0.5

x = 0.5

For 50% syrup, add 0.5 lb of water.  This makes the total mass 0.5+0.5 = 1 lb.

For 5% syrup, we change the equation to equal 0.05 (5% = 5/100 = 0.05) and leave everything else the same:

Multiply both sides by 0.5+x:

Using the distributive property,

0.5 = 0.05(0.5)+0.05(x)

0.5 = 0.025 + 0.05x

Subtract 0.025 from both sides:

0.5-0.025 = 0.025+0.05x-0.025

0.475 = 0.05x

Divide both sides by 0.05:

0.475/0.05 = 0.05x/0.05

x = 9.5

For 5% syrup, add 9.5 lb of water; the total mass will be 9.5+0.5 = 10 lb.

For 75% syrup, set the equation equal to 0.75:

Using the distributive property,

0.5 = 0.75(0.5)+0.75(x)

0.5 = 0.375 + 0.75x

Subtract 0.375 from each side:

0.5 - 0.375 = 0.375 + 0.75x - 0.375

0.125 = 0.75x

Divide both sides by 0.75:

0.125/0.75 = 0.75x/0.75

0.17 = x

For 75% syrup, add 0.17 lb of water; the total mass is 0.17+0.5 = 0.67 lb.

For 1.5% syrup, set the equation equal to 0.015:

Using the distributive property,

0.5 = 0.015(0.5) + 0.015(x)

0.5 = 0.0075 + 0.015x

Subtract 0.0075 from each side:

0.5-0.0075 = 0.0075 + 0.015x - 0.0075

0.4925 = 0.015x

Divide both sides by 0.015:

0.4925/0.015 = 0.015x/0.015

32.8 = x

For 1.5% syrup, use 32.8 lb of water; the total mass is 32.8+0.5 = 33.3 lb.

I hope this is right and have a good day

Solve for
faust18 [17]

Given equation : n(17+x)=34x−r.

We need to solve it for x.

Distributing n over (17+x) on left side, we get

17n + nx  = 34x - r.

Adding r on both sides, we get

17n+r + nx  = 34x - r+r.

17n + r + nx = 34x.

Subtracting nx from both sides, we get

17n + r + nx-nx = 34x-nx

17n + r = 34x -nx.

Factoring out gcf x on right side, we get

17x + r = x(34-n).

Dividing both sides by (34-n), we get

\frac{(17x + r)}{(34-n)} = \frac{x(34-n)}{(34-n)}

\frac{(17x + r)}{(34-n)} = x

<h3>Therefore, final answer is x=\frac{(17x + r)}{(34-n)}.</h3>
