The best way to solve this is to make an algebraic expression to represent the situation~
If x is the speed of the first train and y is the speed of the second we can make 716.7 = x + y
the first train is 5.3 mph faster so x = y + 5.3
Now we can replace x with our new value to get 716.7 = y + (y+5.3)
Simplify and we get 716.7 = 2y + 5.3
Now all we got to do is simplify this equation, 716.7 - 5.3 = 711.4. Divide by 2 to get 355.7 for the speed of the second train. Since the first train is 5.3 mph faster, we add that to the second trains value and get our answer. The first train is going at 361.7, the second at 355.7

One earthquake has MMS magnitude 3.9. If a second earthquake has 120 times as much energy (earth movement) as the first, find th
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The right answer is "5.9". A further solving is provided below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Initial Magnitude,

M₁ = 3.9

Let Second magnitude be M₂.

Now,

⇒  M_2-M_1=log(\frac{l_2}{l_1} )

On substituting the values, we get

⇒  M_2-3.9 = log (120)

On putting the value of "log 120", we get

⇒  M_2-3.9=2.079

On adding "3.9" both sides, we get

⇒  M_2-3.9+3.9=2.079+3.9

⇒                    M_2=5.9

there are 12 students who play the clarinet and 16 students who play the viola. what does the ratio 16:12 describe?​
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer: The ratio 16:12 describes the ratio of the number of students who play the viola to the students who play the clarinet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Number of students who play the clarinet= 12

Number of students who play the viola=16

We know that ratio of A to B is represented by A:B.

Since, the number '12' is representing " students who play the clarinet" and  number '16' is representing  " students who play the viola"

So , the ratio 16:12 describes the ratio of the number of students who play the viola to the students who play the clarinet.

A family read the odometer before starting a trip .It read 22900.6 and they know they will be driving 302.5 miles . What's will
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

23,203.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally, an odometer measures distance traveled during the usage life cycle of a car. It is necessary to say the distance is measured cumulatively.

Now, to get the value the odometer will be reading after the trip, we need to add the present reading of the odometer to the new distance to be traveled.

Thus, the reading of the odometer after the trip will be 22900.6 + 302.5 = 23,203.1
