Answer:

1445.6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between New York and San Francisco = 2902.8 miles (checked online)

Average speed of car = 2 mi/hr

Average speed of jet = 500 mi/hr

Time taken by Jet:

Time taken = Distance / speed

Time taken = 2902.8 / 500

Time taken = 5.8056 = 5.8 hours

Time taken by Car :

Time taken = Distance / speed

Time taken = 2902.8 / 2

Time taken = 5.8056 = 1451.4 hours

Time difference :

1451.4 - 5.8 = 1445.6 hours

i need to subtract decimals. i have the answers I just need the work. problems 3.12- 2.52, 3.6-1.8 and 4.1 - 27. thank you

A way you can show work is just not use the commas then subtract then put the commas in when you're done. And, if the bigger number isn't as big or has as many numbers behind the decimal as the first one, add a zero at the end.

Two trains are traveling towards each other at a constant speed. The trains are currently 714 miles from each other. The speeds
shutvik [7]
55mph.

you can solve it using the equation distance=speed x time

your total distance is 714, and you have 2 trains, one traveling some speed, x, and one traveling x+8, both traveling for 7 hours. 
your equation would look like this
714 = x(7) + (x+8)(7)
and you can then solve for x, which would be 47. this is the speed of the slower train, but 47+8=55 with give you the speed of the faster train.

20. what us the area of the figure:
Varvara68 [4.7K]
If the angle in B is 45º, that means the angle in A is also going to be 45º, considering it's a right triangle, so AC and BC are they have the same length.
Then using Pythagoras, you'll get that AC^{2} + BC^{2} equals AB^{2} .
Now, you know that AC=BC and that AB=24.
So you'll get 2AC^{2} =24^2 . You do the square root in both sides and you get that 2AC=24 and AC=12.

Now that you know that both AC and BC equal 12, you can find the area by just multiplying them and then diving them by 2. (The formula for the area of a triangle is half base multiplied by height, and in a right triangle, if a cathetus is the base, the other cathetus<span> will be the height)

And so the area is equal to 72.</span>
