Answer:

let the the first number X,

second number be 2×(8x) or. 16x

third number be 8x

equation 1 ,

X + 16x + 8x = 84

or. 25x = 84

or. x = 84 ÷ 25 = 3.36

Two canoes travel down a river, starting at 9:00 a.M. One canoe travels twice as fast as the other. After 4.5 hours, the canoes

Answer:

$v_1=3.33 \ miles/hour\\v_2=6.66 \ miles/hour$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Constant Speed Motion </u>

When the object travels the same distances in the same period of time, the speed is constant and is can be calculated as

$\displaystyle v=\frac{x}{t}$

where x is the distance and t is the time

There are two canoes traveling at speeds v1 and v2. One of them has twice the speed as the other. Let's say

$v_2=2v_1$

When t hours have passed, the canoes have traveled x1 and x2 respectively.

$x_1=v_1t$

$x_2=v_2t$

Since

$v_2=2v_1$

Then

$x_2=2v_1t$

The distance between them is

$X=x_2-x_1=2v_1t-v_1t$

$X=v_1t$

That distance is known and equals 11.25 miles, thus

$v_1t=15$

Solving for v1 and using t=4.5 hours

$\displaystyle v_1=\frac{15}{4.5}$

$v_1=3.33 \ miles/hour$

$v_2=2\times 3.33$

$\boxed{v_2=6.66 \ miles/hour}$

SAT Math Question

mariarad [96]

I'm tentatively changing my answer to say this kind of relies on practical knowledge of how stores tend to operate. If 20 coupons are given out, the store has sold all 500 shirts, arguably at a loss to the retailer. They have to have more shirts in stock to be sold at full price because, well, that's how they make money. It's more likely that such a store would carry more than just 500 shirts at the start of each day, so A is (probably) wrong.
