Answer:
It will take 1 hour and 12 minutes for the two trains to be 192 miles apart
Step-by-step explanation:
The total distance between the two trains is the distance traveled by both trains. The distance traveled by the eastbound train is 85 mph * elapsed time and the distance traveled by the westbound train is 75 * elapsed time.
The combined formula is distance traveled = speed of first train * elapsed time + speed of second train * elapsed time.
Since the elapsed time is equal for both trains then the formula is modified as distance traveled = (speed of first train + speed of second train) * elapsed time.
Solving for the elapsed time
distance traveled = (speed of first train + speed of second train) * elapsed time
192 miles = (85mph + 75 mph) * elapsed time
192 miles = 160 mph * elapsed time
elapsed time = 192 miles / 160 mph
elapsed time = 1.2 hours
elapsed time = 1 hour and 12 minutes
It will take 1 hour and 12 minutes for the two trains to be 192 miles apart.
Answer:
Mean=8.8, Median=8
Step-by-step explanation:
How to find the mean:
First, add all the #'s up. 4+9+12+14+7+7=53
Then divide that by the number or numbers. In this case it is 6.
53/6=8.833... So rounded=8.8
Median:
List numbers lowest to highest
4, 7, 7, 9, 12, 14
Go to the middle number.
Since it is between 7 and 9, it is 7+9=16. 16/2=8
8 is the median
How many times does 1/4 go into 8 and how many times into -12
The number was 160 because 5/4•128=160. 5/4 represents inverting 80% and multiplying it by the number to determine how the result became 128. For checking over all you have to do is do 4/5 or 80%•160 which shall give you 128.
