Answer:

The time the two planes will meet is 1.43 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

speed of the first plane in positive direction, = 40 mph

speed of the second plane in negative direction(opposite direction) = -100 mph

distance between the two planes = 200 miles

Let the time the two planes will meet = t

the position of the first plane at this time "t" = 40t

the position of the second plane at this time "t" = -100t

(40t)>--------------------------------<(-100t), this space between them is 200 miles.

Thus, the difference in the distance they traveled before meeting should be equal to 200 miles.

40t - (-100t) = 200

40t + 100t = 200

140t = 200

t = 200 / 140

t = 1.43 hours

Therefore, the time the two planes will meet is 1.43 hours

sarah meeham blends coffee for tasti delight. she needs to prepare 160 pounds of blended coffee beans selling for $4.97 per poun
Viefleur [7K]
Given:
h = high quality bean ; costs 6 per pound
c = cheaper bean ; costs 3.25 per pound

160 pounds of blended coffee beans at 4.97 per pound

h + c = 160

6h + 3.25c = 160(4.97)
6h + 3.25c = 795.20

h = 160 - c

6(160-c) + 3.25c = 795.20
960 - 6c + 3.25c = 795.20
- 2.75c = 795.20 - 960 
- 2.75c = -164.80
c = - 164.80 / -2.75
c = 59.92 or 60 pounds

h = 160 - c
h = 160 - 60 
h = 100 pounds

Sarah must blend 100 pounds of high quality bean and 60 pounds of cheaper bean.

At the beginning of year 1, Bode invests $250 at an annual simple interest rate of 3%. He makes no deposits to or withdrawals fr
Dennis_Churaev [7]
The initial investment = $250
<span>annual simple interest rate of 3% = 0.03
</span>
Let the number of years = n
the annual increase = 0.03 * 250
At the beginning of year 1 ⇒ n = 1 ⇒⇒⇒ A(1) = 250 + 0 * 250 * 0.03 = 250

At the beginning of year 2 ⇒ n = 2 ⇒⇒⇒ A(2) = 250 + 1 * 250 * 0.03
At the beginning of year 3 ⇒ n = 3 ⇒⇒⇒ A(2) = 250 + 2 * 250 * 0.03
and so on .......
∴ <span>The formula that can be used to find the account’s balance at the beginning of year n is:
</span>
A(n) = 250 + (n-1)(0.03 • 250)
<span>At the beginning of year 14 ⇒ n = 14 ⇒ substitute with n at A(n)</span>
∴ A(14) = 250 + (14-1)(0.03*250) = 347.5

So, the correct option is <span>D.A(n) = 250 + (n – 1)(0.03 • 250); $347.50 </span>
