-- The trains start moving at the same time.
-- The space between them is initially 252.5 miles.
-- They reduce the distance between them at the rate of (124.7+253.5)=378.2mph.
-- It will take them (252.5 / 378.2) = 0.6676 hour to meet.
That's 40min 3.49sec .
-- After tooting and puffing toward each other for 8 minutes, they still have <em>32min 3.49sec</em> to go before they meet each other. We're all hoping that they're on different tracks.
8 costs 40 so 10 costs | 40 / 8 = ( 5*2=10) So your answer is 50 Dollars.
Have you never added 2-digit numbers?
35 +27 = (30 +20) +(5 +7) = 50 +12 = 62
35/100 +27/100 = (35 +27)/100 = 62/100
0.35 +0.27 = 0.62
The basic idea, taught in 3rd grade, is to line up the decimal points of the numbers, add enough zeros on the right to make the numbers all have the same number of digits to the right of the decimal point, then add in the usual way. The sum has the decimal point aligned with the rest of the numbers.
For this question, you simply multiply 32.4 by 12.7 to get the number of miles that Jennie can drive. The answer is 411.48, choice c.
Hope this helps!
