One number added to three times another number is 24. Five times the first number added to three times to other number is 36. Fi
Marrrta [24]

The numbers are 3 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x and the second number be y

Then according to given statement

One number added to three times another number is 24

x+3y=24     Eqn 1

Five times the first number added to three times to other number is 36

5x+3y=36      Eqn 2

Subtracting Equation 1 from equation 2

5x+3y-(x+3y)=36-24\\5x+3y-x-3y=12\\4x=12

Dividing both sides by 4

\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{12}{4}\\x=3

Putting x=3 in equation 1

3+3y=24\\3y=24-3\\3y=21

Dividing both sides by 3

\frac{3y}{3} = \frac{21}{3}\\y=7

Hence,

The numbers are 3 and 7

Wheel A has a diameter of 25.4 inches. Wheel B has a diameter of 22.5 inches. About how much farther will Wheel A travel in one
MissTica

Wheel A will travel a distance of approximately 9 in more than wheel B in one rotation.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Diameter of wheel A, d₁ = 25.4 in

Radius of wheel A, r₁ = 12.7 in

Diameter of wheel B = 22.5 in

Radius of Wheel B, d₂ = 11.25 in

Distance travelled by A = ?

In one rotation, the distance travelled by a wheel is equal to its circumference.

Circumference of a wheel = 2πr

Circumference of wheel A = 2πr₁

                                            = 2 X 3.14 X 12.7 in

                                            = 80 in

Circumference of wheel B = 2πr₂

                                              = 2 X 3.14 X 11.25 in

                                              = 71 in

Therefore, wheel A will travel a distance of approximately 9 (80 - 71 in) in more than wheel B in one rotation.

Two towns A and B are 220km apart. A bus left town A at 11.00 AM and travelled towards town B at 60km/hr. At the same time, a va
enot [183]

Answer:

Sa / Va = time traveled by bus a

Sb  / Vb + 3/4  = time traveled by van b

Sa / Va = Sb  / Vb + 3/4      times traveled are the same

            = (220 - Sa) / Vb + 3/4

Sa ( 1 / Va + 1 / Vb) = 220 / 80 + 3/4

Sa (140 / 4800) = 3.5

Sa = 120 km

Check: 120 km / 60 km/hr = 2 hr = Ta

Sb = 1.25 * 80 = 100 km   traveling for 1.25 hrs
