Two cyclists, Alan and Brian, are racing around oval track of length 450m on the same direction simultaneously from the same poi
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Alan: 200 m/min

Brian: 150 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:    

Given : Two cyclists, Alan and Brian, are racing around oval track of length 450m on the same direction simultaneously from the same point. Alan races around the track in 45 seconds before Brian does and overtakes him every 9 minutes.

To find : What are their rates, in meters per minute?

Solution :

Let n represent the number of laps that Alan completes in 9 minutes.

Then n-1 is the number of laps Brian completes.

45 seconds = 3/4 minutes.

The difference in their lap times in minutes per lap is

\frac{9}{(n -1)}-\frac{9}{n} =\frac{3}{4}

Solving the equation we get,

\frac{9n-9n+9}{n(n -1)} =\frac{3}{4}

9\times 4=3\times n(n -1)

36=3\times n(n -1)

n^2-n-12=0

n^2-4n+3n-12=0

n(n-4)+3(n-4)=0

(n-4)(n+3)=0

n=4,-3

Neglecting n=-3

So, n=4

Then Alan's speed in m/min is

S=\frac{D}{T}

S_a=\frac{4\times 450}{9}

S_a=200 m/min

Brian completes 3 laps in that 9-minute time, so his rate is

S_b=\frac{3\times 450}{9}

S_b=150 m/min

Therefore, Alan: 200 m/min

Brian: 150 m/min

Determine the missing side of the square.
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The missing side is 9cm.

How I got my answer:

1. Squares have equal sides.

2. The area is 81cm^2, so we have to divide 81 by 9.

81 : 9 = 9cm.

Clare is painting some doors that are all the same size. She used 2 liters of paint to cover 1 and 3/5 doors. How many liters of
vitfil [10]

Answer:

1 and 1/4 liters of paint are needed for one door

Step-by-step explanation:

You can eliminate each answer choice out. For '4/5 liters' you know that if that amount was used, it wouldn't be reasonable since it would mean that the more was used for the other 3/5 door. 3 and 1.5 would be too much since it is over 2 liters. 2 liters wouldn't be logical since you paint 1 <em>and</em> 3/5 of a door and you only used 2 liters, no more or no less, basically what would you use for the other 3/5 door if this was the answer.

Hope this helps!

I don't know how to do this or what i'm doing plz help
mote1985 [20]

recalling that d = rt, distance = rate * time.


we know Hector is going at 12 mph, and he has already covered 18 miles, how long has he been biking already?


\bf \begin{array}{ccll} miles&hours\\ \cline{1-2} 12&1\\ 18&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{12}{18}=\cfrac{1}{x}\implies 12x=18\implies x=\cfrac{18}{12}\implies x=\cfrac{3}{2}


so Hector has been biking for those 18 miles for 3/2 of an hour, namely and hour and a half already.

then Wanda kicks in, rolling like a lightning at 16mph.

let's say the "meet" at the same distance "d" at "t" hours after Wanda entered, so that means that Wanda has been traveling for "t" hours, but Hector has been traveling for "t + (3/2)" because he had been biking before Wanda.

the distance both have travelled is the same "d" miles, reason why they "meet", same distance.


\bf \begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ Hector&d&12&t+\frac{3}{2}\\[1em] Wanda&d&16&t \end{array}\qquad \implies \begin{cases} \boxed{d}=(12)\left( t+\frac{3}{2} \right)\\[1em] d=(16)(t) \end{cases}


\bf \stackrel{\textit{substituting \underline{d} in the 2nd equation}}{\boxed{(12)\left( t+\frac{3}{2} \right)}=16t}\implies 12t+18=16t \\\\\\ 18=4t\implies \cfrac{18}{4}=t\implies \cfrac{9}{2}=t\implies \stackrel{\textit{four and a half hours}}{4\frac{1}{2}=t}
