Answer:
120 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The speed is equal to the distance divided by the time
Let
s------> the speed in mph
d-----> the distance in miles
t -----> the time in hours
s=d/t
solve for the distance
d=s*t
<em>It will take Adam four hours to drive to Disney Park</em>
s=x mph
t=4 h
substitute
d=4x -----> equation A
<em>It will take Adam 2.5 times less time if driving 45 mph faster</em>
so
s=(x+45) mph
t=4/2.5=1.6 h
substitute
d=1.6(x+45) -----> equation B
equate equation A and equation B
4x=1.6(x+45)
Solve for x
4x=1.6x+72
4x-1.6x=72
2.4x=72
x=30 mph
Find the distance d
d=4x -----> d=4(30)=120 miles
It will be 14 we calculated
Answer: 41.5 min
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be solved with the Radioactive Half Life Formula:
(1)
Where:
is the final amount of the radioactive element
is the initial amount of the radioactive element
is the time elapsed
is the half life of the radioactive element
So, we need to substitute the given values and find
from (1):
(2)
(3)
(4)
Applying natural logarithm in both sides:
(5)
(6)
Clearing
:
This is the time elapsed
