Logan, the way you have phrased this question makes it a bit hard to follow. I'm going to take the liberty of paraphasing it:
"Catalan drives an average of 1.4 times faster during the first 105 miles of her trip than she does during the second 105 miles."
As we are told, let X represent her speed during the first 105 miles of her trip. She drives more slowly during the second 105 miles. Thus, her speed during the 2nd 105 miles is X/1.4.
Remember: distance = (rate)(time), or time = (distance)(rate)
We need to determine an expression for the time she spends driving. Let T1 be the time required to drive 105 miles at speed X mph and T2 be the time required to drive 105 miles at speed (X/1.4) mph.
What is the total time required to drive these 210 miles?
Total time = (time required to drive 105 miles at X mph) + (time required to drive 105 miles at X/1.4 mph).
This gives you TIME SPENT DRIVING as a function of X, her speed during the first 105 miles of driving.
Answer:
-7/48
Step-by-step explanation:
- Ok, so if there is a change of -7/16 inches every 3 years, then you just basically have to divide -7/16 inches by 3. And since you can't divide fraction and only multiply the reciprocal of a fraction you would say -7/16 * 1/3 = -7/48.
- If you want to mark it on a number line, you would basically just find -7/16 and divide the distance from 0 to -7/16 into 3 portions and mark the 1st third of the distance your answer.
The smaller of 2 consecutive integers is -15. The equation to determine the consecutive integers is x + (x + 1) = -29
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that sum of two consecutive integer is -29.
Need to write the equation and determine the smaller of 2 consecutive integers.
Let’s smaller integer be represented by variable x
So bigger consecutive integer will be represented by x + 1
As sum of two integer = -29
=> x + (x + 1) = -29
=> 2x + 1 = -29
=> 2x + 30 = 0 ----------(1)
On solving equation (1) for x we get
2x =-30
=> x = -15
Smallest integer = x = -15
Bigger integer = x + 1 = -15 + 1 = -14
Hence required smaller integer = -15 and required equation is x + (x + 1) = -29
well, one quarter of a year is 3 months, so at the end of third quarter, 9 months have passed, and since a year has 12 months, 9 months are simply 9/12 of a year.
Answer:
they would have traveled 124.1 meters. If you start at 0 elevation (ground level) and you go all the way down then the maximum lowest point he can get to is 124.1m.
