Answer:
The speeds of the cars is: 0.625 miles/minute
Step-by-step explanation:
We use systems of equations in two variables to solve this problem.
Recall that the definition of speed (v) is the quotient of the distance traveled divided the time it took :
. Notice as well that the speed of both cars is the same, but their times are different because they covered different distances. So if we find the distances they covered, we can easily find what their speed was.
Writing the velocity equation for car A (which reached its destination in 24 minutes) is:

Now we write a similar equation for car B which travels 5 miles further than car A and does it in 32 minutes:

Now we solve for
in this last equation and make the substitution in the equation for car A:

So this is the speed of both cars: 0.625 miles/minute
Complete question :
Sam knows that his MP3 player has 40% of its battery life left and that the battery
charges by an additional 12 percentage points every 15 minutes. What percent of
the mp3's battery will be charged when Sam and his family leave? If mp3 was plugged in an hour before his family plan to leave.
Answer:
88%
Step-by-step explanation:
Time before leaving = 1hour
Current percentage = 40%
Charge rate = 12% every 15 minutes
Therefore,
Charge rate per minute :
12% / 15 = 0.8% per minute
Charge recieved after one hour (60 minutes) :
0.8% * 60
= 48%
Therefore, total charge after just before leaving is:
Current percentage + percentage received
40% + 48%
= 88%
Answer:
A. 4.1
Step-by-step explanation:
3+4+ 5+ 3+ 4+ 5+ 6+ 7+ 1+ 2+ 3+ 4+ 5+ 6+ 4+ 8+ 4+ 3+ 2= 79
79/ 19 = 4.1
Answer:
1000 Grams : 1 Kilogram or 1 Kilogram : 1000 Grams
Step-by-step explanation:
In the metric system the value of a kilogram is solved like:

When converting from grams to kilograms, we solve it like:

Let's take for example:
2 KG is how many grams?
We use the grams to kilograms formula like so:

Then we end up with:
g = 2000
