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

Approximtely how many 27cubic volume cabinets will a container98,000cbic volume hold?
babymother [125]

Answer: 3630

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Volume of container = 98,000 cubic volume

Volume of cabinet = 27 cubic volume

The number of cabinets which the container will. Hold equals:

Volume of container / volume of cabinet

= 98000 cubic volume / 27 cubic volume

= 3629.6296

The container will hold approximately 3630 27 cubic volume of cabinet.
