Subtract the faster speed:

721.6 - 8.4 = 713.2

Divide by 2 trains:

713.2/2 = 356.6

The slower train is going 356.6 miles per hour.

The faster train is going 356.6 + 8.4 = 365 miles per hour.

What is the area of this figure?
KatRina [158]
Hi!

I have attached 2 images that should help you understand :)

First, look at the edits I made to the image you posted. I separated the shape into smaller shapes so that we can find the area of each individual one. 

Let's start with the rectangle.

To find the area of a rectangle, multiply the width times the height. 
10 · 4 = 40

Rectangle = 40cm

Next up, the red triangles.

I have included another image showing the triangles combined into rectangles. So we can find the area of the triangles just like we would rectangles!

(let me know if you don't understand how I found the width + height of the triangles)

5 · 10 = 50

Red triangles = 50cm

And finally, the green triangles.

8 · 7 = 56

Green triangles = 56cm

Add it all together and you get...

40 + 50 + 56 = 146

The answer to the question is 146cm.

Next time you are having trouble with something like this, picture the triangles as rectangles! :)

Ber [7]

Answer: $6.75

Step-by-step explanation:

25 hours times $9= $225/week

3% increase from $9.00= $0.27

$9.27 times 25 hours= $231.75

$231.75-$225= $6.75 more per week

A roller coaster has four cars each with the same number of seats. these are 21 passengers seated in the roller coaster, but 3 s
belka [17]

Given:

Number of passengers seated in the roller coaster = 21

Empty seats = 3

Number of cars in roller coaster = 4 (each with the same number of seats)

To find:

An equation that can be used to determine the number of seats in each car.

Solution:

Let s be the number of seats in each car.

Total number of seats in 4 cars = 4s

Using the given information,

Total number of seats = Occupied seated + Empty seats

                                   = 21 + 3

                                   = 24

Now, the required equation is

4s=24

Therefore, the required equation is 4s=24.

Divide both sides by 4.

s=\dfrac{24}{4}

s=6

Therefore, the number of seats in each car is 6.
