Evan went to the park and saw four animals.

dsp73

Answer:

He saw <u>1 duck</u> and <u>3 dogs</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Evan went to the park and saw four animals.

Each animal was either a duck or a dog.

He saw a total of 14 legs.

Now, to find the number of each animal he had seen.

Let the number of duck be $x.$

And the number of dog be $y.$

So, total number of animals:

$x+y=4\\y=4-x$

Now, the total number of legs he did see:

<em>As we know the legs of a duck are 2 and a dog are 4.</em>

$2x+4y=14\\2x+4(4-x)=14\\2x+16-4x=14\\-2x+16=14$

Adding both sides by -16 we get:

$-2x=-2$

Dividing both sides by -2 we get:

$x=1$

The number of duck = 1.

Now, putting the value of $x$ in above equation we get:

$y=4-x$

$y=4-1\\y=3.$

The number of dogs = 3.

Therefore, he saw 1 duck and 3 dogs.

Family traveled 25 miles in 1/2 hour. If it’s currently 3:00 pm and the destination is 225 miles away, what time will they arriv

dangina [55]

It is currently 03:00 PM, the family will reach at 03:00+4.5 = 07:30 PM

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the speed first to find the time it will take the family to complete the trip.

Given

Distance = d = 25 miles

Time = t = 1/2 hours = 0.5 hours

$Speed =\frac{d}{t}\\=\frac{25}{0.5}\\=50 miles\ per\ hour$

Now,

Distance remaining = 225 miles

Speed = 50 miles per hour

$s=\frac{d}{t}\\t=\frac{d}{s}\\t=\frac{225}{50}\\t=4.5\ hours$

As we see that the time required to complete the journey is 4.5 hours.

It is currently 03:00 PM, the family will reach at 03:00+4.5 = 07:30 PM
