Two trains 300 miles apart are heading toward each other on the same track. The first one travels at 100 miles per hour and the

second at 50 miles per hour. As the trains depart, a jet-powered drone flying 200 miles per hour leaves the first train and heads for the second. Upon reaching it, the drone instantaneously turns around and heads back towards the first. The drone continues back and forth in this manner. How far in miles will the drone fly before being crushed between the two trains?

Answer:

400

Step-by-step explanation:

u = 50 km/hr

v = 100 km/hr

d = 300 km

b = 200 km/hr

= b*d/(u+v)  

=  200* 300/(50+100)  

= 400

A pharmacist wishes to mix a solution that is 6% Minoxidil. She has on hand 100 ml of a 2% solution and wishes to add some 8% so
son4ous [18]

Answer:

200 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

It's proportions basically.

frst off, 2% of 100 ml is 2 ml, so the 100 ml solution has 2 ml of Minoxidil.

Eventually we want 6/100 to be the porportion.  so the total is going to be 100 (from the initial 100 ml) plus however much is needed x.  And we want the amount of Minoxidil to be 2 + 8 percent of x.  so this gets us the equation

6/100 = (2 + .08x)/(100+x)  Then we solve

(100 + x) 6/100 = 2 + .08x

(100 + x) 6 = 200 + 8x

600 + 6x = 200 + 8x

400 = 2x

x = 200

so they should add 200 ml

You can check too.  there is 100 + 200 ml of solution total and 2 + 16 ml of Minoxidil so that's 18/300 = 6/100

A container weighs 23 2/5 pounds holds sports equipment. Of the equipment in the container 1/3 of the weight is baseball equipme
hram777 [196]
What we need to know is how much is 1/3 of 25 2/5.

We will be multiplying fraction by a fraction and for this, it's good to change mixed numbers into improper fractions:

25 2/5=\frac{23*5+2}{5}= \frac{117}{5}

and now we multiply it by 1/3:

\frac{1}{3}\frac{117}{5}=\frac{39}{5}=7\frac{4}{5}

and that's the answer: the basketball equipment weights 7 4/5 pounds.
