Answer:

The faster bus moves at 83mi/h and the slower one moves at 69mi/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define:

R₁ = rate of bus 1, this is the faster one.

R₂ = rate of bus 2, this is the slower one.

We know that one bus travels 14mi/h slower, then:

R₂ = R₁ - 14mi/h.

Now we know that:

Distance = Speed*Time.

If we add the distances that both busses travel in 2 hours, it should be equal to the initial distance between the buses, then:

R₁*2h + R₂*2h = 304 mi

Then we have the two equations:

R₂ = R₁ - 14mi/h

R₁*2h + R₂*2h = 304 mi

The first step is to replace the first equation in the second one, to get:

R₁*2h + (R₁ - 14mi/h)*2h = 304 mi

And now we can solve this for R₁.

R₁*2h + R₁*2h - 14mi/h*2h = 304 mi

R₁*4h - 28mi = 304mi

R₁*4h = 304mi + 28mi = 332mi

R₁ = 332mi/4h = 83mi/h

The faster bus moves at 83mi/h

And we know that the slower one moves at 14mi/h slower than this, then:

R₂ = R₁ - 14mi/h = 83mi/h - 14mi/h = 69 mi/h

Part a)

Answer: 5*sqrt(2pi)/pi

-----------------------

Work Shown:

r = sqrt(A/pi)
r = sqrt(50/pi)
r = sqrt(50)/sqrt(pi)
r = (sqrt(50)*sqrt(pi))/(sqrt(pi)*sqrt(pi))
r = sqrt(50pi)/pi
r = sqrt(25*2pi)/pi
r = sqrt(25)*sqrt(2pi)/pi
r = 5*sqrt(2pi)/pi

Note: the denominator is technically not able to be rationalized because of the pi there. There is no value we can multiply pi by so that we end up with a rational value. We could try 1/pi, but that will eventually lead back to having pi in the denominator. I think your teacher may have made a typo when s/he wrote "rationalize all denominators"

============================================================

Part b)

Answer: 3*sqrt(3pi)/pi

-----------------------

Work Shown:

r = sqrt(A/pi)
r = sqrt(27/pi)
r = sqrt(27)/sqrt(pi)
r = (sqrt(27)*sqrt(pi))/(sqrt(pi)*sqrt(pi))
r = sqrt(27pi)/pi
r = sqrt(9*3pi)/pi
r = sqrt(9)*sqrt(3pi)/pi
r = 3*sqrt(3pi)/pi

Note: the same issue comes up as before in part a)

============================================================

Part c)

Answer: sqrt(19pi)/pi

-----------------------

Work Shown:

r = sqrt(A/pi)
r = sqrt(19/pi)
r = sqrt(19)/sqrt(pi)
r = (sqrt(19)*sqrt(pi))/(sqrt(pi)*sqrt(pi))
r = sqrt(19pi)/pi

BabaBlast [244]
Option number 3. this is the answer because she runs a mile in 8 minutes, so in order to find out how much it would take to run 5 miles, you would multiply 5 by 8.
