Answer: The speed of Bob is 56.8 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of Bob be 'x'.

Let the speed of John be 'x-8'.

Distance covered = 230 miles

time = 1\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2}\ hr

According to question, we get that

\dfrac{230}{x}-\dfrac{230}{x+8}=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\230\dfrac{x+8-x}{x(x+8)}=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\\dfrac{230\times 8}{x^2+8x}=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\\dfrac{1840}{x^2+8x}=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\1840\times 2=3x^2+24x\\\\3680=3x^2+24x\\\\3x^2+24x-3680=0\\\\x\approx 56.8\ km/hr

Hence, the speed of Bob is 56.8 km/hr.

Find the surface area of the composite figure.
Sloan [31]

With the help of the <em>area</em> formulae of rectangles and triangles and the concept of <em>surface</em> area, the <em>surface</em> area of the composite figure is equal to 276 square centimeters.

<h3>What is the surface area of a truncated prism?</h3>

The <em>surface</em> area of the <em>truncated</em> prism is the sum of the areas of its six faces, which are combinations of the areas of rectangles and <em>right</em> triangles. Then, we proceed to determine the <em>surface</em> area:

A = (12 cm) · (4 cm) + 2 · (3 cm) · (4 cm) + 2 · (12 cm) · (3 cm) + 2 · 0.5 · (12 cm) · (5 cm) + (5 cm) · (4 cm) + (13 cm) · (4 cm)

A = 48 cm² + 24 cm² + 72 cm² + 60 cm² + 20 cm² + 52 cm²

A = 276 cm²

With the help of the <em>area</em> formulae of rectangles and triangles and the concept of <em>surface</em> area, the <em>surface</em> area of the composite figure is equal to 276 square centimeters.

Mary stated that 2.01 x 10⁶ is less than 4.8 x 10⁴ because 2.01 is less than 4.8. what was mary's mistake ?
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Mary's mistake was that she didn't take into account of the power that 10 is raised to; since 2.01 is multiplied by 10 to the 6, it makes 2.01 bigger. You can also expand the number to check:

2 010 000 vs. 4800

natima [27]

Answer:

15%

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{76.50}{90}=\frac{x}{100}         Set up a proportion.

90x=7,650      Cross-multiply.

x=85               Divide both sides by 90.

100-85=15    The discounted price is 85% of the regular price so the                                          

                        discount is 15%.
