The places X and Y are 76km apart on a highway one car starts from Y and other from X at the same time. If the cars travel in th

e same direction at different speeds, they meet in 5 hours. If they travel towards each other, they meet in 1 hour. What are the speeds of two cars?​

Answer:

Fast car = 45.6

Slower car = 30.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the first car = x

Let the speed of the second car = y

Travelling towards each other.

x *1 + y*1  = 76 miles

x*5 - y*5 = 76 miles. This is kind of tricky. You have to understand that the first car that is 76 miles from the second car and makes up that 76 in 5 hours. The distance they both travel is subtracted out.

Divide by 5

x - y = 76/5

x - y = 15.2       The speeds differ by 15.2

x + y = 76

x - y  = 15.2

2x = 91.2

x = 45.6

y = 76 - 45.6 = 30.4

When the two vehicles speeds are multiplied by 5, the difference is 76 km

A grain silo is in the shape of a cylinder with a hemisphere top. They cylinder is 20 feet tall. The volume of the silo is 2106
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The radius of the silo is 5.788 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the silo has the shape of a cylinder, then;

Volume of the silo = Volume of a cylinder = \pir^{2}h

Where: r is the radius of the silo, and h is the height.

Given that: volume = 2106 cubic feet, and height = 20 feet.

Then,

2106 = \frac{22}{7} x r^{2} x 20

2106 = \frac{440}{7}r^{2}

2106 x 7 = 440r^{2}

14742 = 440r^{2}

r^{2} = \frac{14742}{440}

r^{2} = 33.5045

⇒ r = \sqrt{33.5045}

     = 5.78831

r = 5.788 feet

The radius of the silo is 5.788 feet.

What is x in the equation 753.6=(3.14)(6)^2(x)
vichka [17]

Answer:

 x = 20/3 = 6.667

Step-by-step explanation:

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "3.14" was replaced by "(314/100)". 2 more similar replacement(s)

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

          (7536/10)-(((314/100))*(6)^2*(x))=0

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

1.1     6 = 2•3

(6)2 = (2•3)2 = 22 • 32

Equation at the end of step  1  :

 7536      314

 ———— -  ((——— • (22•32)) • x)  = 0

  10       100

Step  2  :

           157

Simplify   ———

           50

Equation at the end of step  2  :

 7536      157

 ———— -  ((——— • (22•32)) • x)  = 0

  10       50

Step  3  :

Dividing exponents :

3.1    22   divided by   21   = 2(2 - 1) = 21 = 2

Equation at the end of step  3  :

 7536     2826

 ———— -  (———— • x)  = 0

  10       25

Step  4  :

           3768

Simplify   ————

            5  

Equation at the end of step  4  :

 3768    2826x

 ———— -  —————  = 0

  5       25  

Step  5  :

Calculating the Least Common Multiple :

5.1    Find the Least Common Multiple

     The left denominator is :       5

     The right denominator is :       25

       Number of times each prime factor

       appears in the factorization of:

Prime

Factor   Left

Denominator   Right

Denominator   L.C.M = Max

{Left,Right}

5 1 2 2

Product of all

Prime Factors  5 25 25

     Least Common Multiple:

     25

Calculating Multipliers :

5.2    Calculate multipliers for the two fractions

   Denote the Least Common Multiple by  L.C.M

   Denote the Left Multiplier by  Left_M

   Denote the Right Multiplier by  Right_M

   Denote the Left Deniminator by  L_Deno

   Denote the Right Multiplier by  R_Deno

  Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 5

  Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 1

Making Equivalent Fractions :

5.3      Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions

Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.

For example :  1/2   and  2/4  are equivalent,  y/(y+1)2   and  (y2+y)/(y+1)3  are equivalent as well.

To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.

  L. Mult. • L. Num.      3768 • 5

  ——————————————————  =   ————————

        L.C.M                25  

  R. Mult. • R. Num.      2826x

  ——————————————————  =   —————

        L.C.M              25  

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

5.4       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

3768 • 5 - (2826x)     18840 - 2826x

——————————————————  =  —————————————

        25                  25      

Step  6  :

Pulling out like terms :

6.1     Pull out like factors :

  18840 - 2826x  =   -942 • (3x - 20)

Equation at the end of step  6  :

 -942 • (3x - 20)

 ————————————————  = 0

        25      

Step  7  :

When a fraction equals zero :

7.1    When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 -942•(3x-20)

 ———————————— • 25 = 0 • 25

      25    

Now, on the left hand side, the  25  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  -942  •  (3x-20)  = 0

Equations which are never true :

7.2      Solve :    -942   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

7.3      Solve  :    3x-20 = 0

Add  20  to both sides of the equation :

                     3x = 20

Divide both sides of the equation by 3:

                    x = 20/3 = 6.667

One solution was found :

                  x = 20/3 = 6.667
