The two planes are flying on the two legs of a right triangle.
The straight distance between them is the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Since the speeds are in mph, let's work the time in hours.
Call the time 'H' that we're looking for.
It's the number of hours after they both take off that they're 650 miles apart.
After 'H' hours, the first plane has gone 500H miles north.
After 'H' hours, the second plane has gone 1200H miles east.
After 'H' hours, they are 650 miles apart.
Do you remember this for a right triangle ? ==> A² + B² = C²
(500H)² + (1200H)² = (650)²
250,000H² + 1,440,000H² = 422,500
1,690,000 H² = 422,500
H² = (422,500) / (1,690,000) = 0.25
H = √0.25 = 1/2 hour = 30 minutes
(40-10)/7
The maximum amount of money she wants to spend is $40
Her adult ticket costs $10
She will pay for the children’s tickets with the remaining money
Each child’s ticket costs $7
To find the number of children she can take we need to use this expression (40-10)/7
Mrs Herñàndez can take 4 children
Answer:
180
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of a geometric progression can be determined by using the formula:
Tn=arn−1
where: a = first term and r = common ratio
Substitute the given values of first term and common ratio into the formula:
Tn=arn−1
T5=(40)(0.5)5−1
T5=(40)(0.5)4
T5=(40)(0.0625)
T5=2.5
