Answer:

45 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a really good question to know the answer to. It is tricky and a bit indirect (which means you have to find something else before you can find the speed of the car.)

Let's keep track of what he does in the time allotted.

How far does Joe go in 5 minutes? That's the amount of time he's on the road before she is.

convert 5 minutes into hours. 5 minutes * 1 hour / 60 minutes = 1/12 of an hour

d = r*t

r = 30 km/hour

t = 1/12 hour

d = 30 km/hr * 1/12 hour = 2.5 km

Now she's about to start. She wants to catch him in 10 minutes

d = r*t

r = x mph

t = 10 minutes = 10 minutes * 1 hour * 60 minutes = 1/6 of an hour.

How far does he go in the 10 minute time?

d = 30 * 1/6 = 5 km

What is his total distance

5 km + 2.5 km = 7.5 km

Finally how fast does she need to go to catch him

d = 7.5 km

r = ?   This is what you are trying to find

t = 1/6 of an hour

d = r*t

7.5 km = r * (1/6)hour             divide by 1/6 hour

7.5 km // 1/6 hour = r

r = 7.5 * 6 = 45 mph

Marco is making three tiles pictures. he uses 310 green tiles to make each picture. he uses 50 fewer red tiles than green tiles
Anettt [7]
Hi there!

To solve this problem, we need to first find the amount of red tiles he used by subtracting 50 from 310, and then finding the sum of the two numbers. 

310 - 50 = 260

Now, we know that there are 260 red tiles.

3 * 310 = 930
3 * 260 = 780

930 + 780 = 1710

So, the answer is 1710 tiles total. 

Hope this helps!

Which explanation can be used to derive the formula for the circumference of a circle?
Gelneren [198K]

Answer: The answer is the first explanation.


Step-by-step explanation:  We are given five different options and we are to select which explanation is correct to derive the formula for a circumference of a circle.

Let 'C' be the circumference and 'd' be the diameter of a circle. Now, we will write the ratio of the circumference to the diameter as

\dfrac{\textup{C}}{\textup{d}}.

Also, we know that

\dfrac{\textup{C}}{\textup{d}}=\pi.

And diameter of a circle is twice the radius, so

d=2r.

Therefore,

\dfrac{\textup{C}}{2\textup{r}}=\pi\\\\\Rightarrow \textup{C}=2\pi \textup{r}.

This is the formula for the circumference of a circle. Since this explanation matches exactly with the first option, so the correct option is

(a). Find the relationship between the circumference and the diameter by dividing the length of the circumference and length of the diameter. Use this quotient to set up an equation to showing the ratio of the circumference over the diameter equals to π . Then rearrange the equation to solve for the circumference. Substitute 2 times the radius for the diameter.
