Answer:

Mom drove for 18 hours.

Dad drove for 6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of hours for the driving duty = 24 hours

Speed at which the mom drove = 75 miles per hour

Speed at which the dad drove = 60 miles per hour

Total distance driven by both of them = 1710 miles

To find:

Number of hours for which each person drive for ?

Solution:

Let number of hours driven by dad = x hours

Let number of hours driven by mom =  (24 - x) hours

Let us have a look at the formula for Distance in terms of Speed and Time.

Distance = Speed \times Time

Distance traveled by Mom = 75 \times x =75x \ miles

Distance traveled by dad = 60(24-x) =144-60x miles

As per question statement:

75x+1440-60x=1710\\\Rightarrow 15x=1710-1440\\\Rightarrow 15x = 270\\\Rightarrow x = 18\ hours

So, Mom drove for 18 hours.

Dad drove for 6 hours.

Where v is the final velocity (in m/s), u is the initial velocity (in m/s), a is the acceleration (in m/s²) and s is the distanc
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

The final velocity v is 21.74 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\textrm{initial velocity} = u = 9\ m/s\\\textrm{acceleration} = a = 7\ m/s^{2}\\\textrm{distance} = s = 28\ m

To find:

\textrm{final velocity} = v = ?

Solution:

As we know the third equation of motion is represented as

v^{2} = u^{2} + 2\times a\times s\\

Substituting the values u, a and s in the above equation we get

v^{2} = 9^{2} + 2\times 7\times 28\\ =81 + 392\\=473\\

v =\±\sqrt{473} \\v =\sqrt{473} \ \textrm{as acceleration is positive v is also positive}\\v = 21.74\ m/s

This one is confusing (slope)
Komok [63]

The answer is positive 1/5. Here is a tip, when reading a graph read from left to right. If it is going up to the right it is positive. If it goes down going to the right it is negative. Also think rise/run. Count how many times it goes up(or down) then count how long the line goes.

If Carl takes a pizza with 8 slices and has three friends eat a slice, what fraction of the pizza is left?
murzikaleks [220]
Ok so the wording is confusing

is it
A. 3 friends took 1 slice each (total is 3 slice) or
B. 3 friends took 1 slice total

if A, go to AAAAAA
if B. to to BBBBB


AAAAAAAAAA
3 slices taken
fraction is parts out of whole
what is left
left=original-taken
taken=3
original=8
8-3=5
5=left
fraction is 5/total=5/8


BBBBBB
taken=1
fraction is parts out of whole
what is left
left=original-taken
taken=1
original=8
8-1=7
7=left
fraction is 7/total=7/8





if 3 slices taken total then 5/8 left
if 1 slice taken totl then 7/8 left
