Answer:

  5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the front parts of the trains meet at point A. Since both are the same length and traveling the same speed, each will pass point A in time ...

  time = distance/speed

  time = (1/18 mi)/(40 mi/h) = (1/720 h) × (3600 s)/(1 h) = 5 s

That is, the rear part of each train will be at point A 5 seconds after the front part.

The rear parts will pass each other 5 seconds after the front parts meet.

schepotkina [342]
To determine the expected total value of the investment after 20 years, we simply plug in the given to the prepared equation,
                                     A = P x (1.12^n)
Substituting the known values,
                                     A = ($5000) x (1.12^20)
                                     A = $48,231.47
Thus, the expected amount of your purchase is $48,231.47.
