Answer:

A=368 miles

B= 356.3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Let the two trains be A and B

A+B=724.3----------1

A-B=11.7--------------2

From eqn 1

A= 724.3-B

put this in place of A in eqn 2

724.3-B-B= 11.7

724.3-2B= 11.7

724.3-11.7= 2B

712.6=2B

B= 712.6/2

B= 356.3 miles

Put B=356.3 in eqn 1

A+356.3=724.3----------1

A= 724.3-356.3

A=368 miles

30 POINTS,NEED HELP ASAP !!!
zaharov [31]

Answer: OPTION A.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can observe that in the figure CDEF the vertices are:

C(-2,-1),\ D(-2,0),\ E(2,2)\ and\ F(2,1)

And in the figure C'D'E'F'  the vertices are:

C'(-8,-4),\ D'(-8,0),\ E'(8,8)\ and\ F'(8,4)

For this case, you can divide any coordinate of any vertex of the figure C'D'E'F' by any coordinate of any vertex of the figure CDEF:

For C'(-8,-4) and C(-2,-1):

\frac{-8}{-2}=4\\\\\frac{-4}{-1}=4

Let's choose another vertex. For E'(8,8) and E(2,2):

\frac{8}{2}=4\\\\\frac{8}{2}=4

You can observe that the coordinates of C' are obtained by multiplying each coordinate of C by 4 and the the coordinates of E' are also obtained by multiplying each coordinate of E by 4.

Therefore, the rule that yields the dilation of the figure CDEF centered at the origin is:

(x, y)→(4x, 4y)

Step-by-step explanation:

(1/x - 1/y)/(1/x + 1/y) =

= (1/x - 1/y)/(1/x + 1/y) × (xy)/(xy)

= (y - x)/(y + x)

Raquel works in a pet store every day after school and sometimes on weekends. She earns $5.20 per hour. If Raquel works 21 hours
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

$5.20 is about $5.00, 21 is about 20, so $5.00 * 20 *4 = $400.

Checking this: $5.20 * 21 * 4 = $436.80
