Answer:

25 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Distance between 2 cities = 145 miles

Time taken by truck = 2. 5 hours

Speed of car = 5 times the speed of truck

Speed of truck = distance / time

Speed of truck = 145 / 2.5

Speed of truck = 58 mph

Speed of car = 5 * 58 = 290 miles per hour

Time it takes to meet :

Time taken = distance / combined speed

Time taken = 145 / (290 + 58)

Time taken = 145 / 348

Time taken = 0.4166666 hours

Time taken = 0.4166666 * 60 = 25 minutes

Andy has three planks of wood. Two planks are each 1.5 m long. One plank is 2.5m long. What is the total length of all the three
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Given:

Two planks are each 1.5 m long.

One plank is 2.5m long.

To find:

The total length of all the three planks.

Solution:

Two planks are each 1.5 m long. So,

First plank = 1.5 m

Second plank = 1.5 m

One plank is 2.5m long. So,

Third plank = 2.5 m

Now, the total length of all the three planks is

\text{Total length}=\text{First plank + Second plank + Third plank}

\text{Total length}=1.5+1.5+2.5

\text{Total length}=5.5

Therefore, the total length of all the three planks is 5.5 m.

Two​ high-speed ferries leave at the same time from a city to go to the same island. The first​ ferry, the​ Cat, travels at 34 m
djyliett [7]

Answer:

They will be 5 miles apart in 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the time it will take for the two ferries to be 5 miles apart

Mathematically; distance = speed * time

Let the number of hours be x

In x hours, the cat will have traveled 34 * x = 34x miles

In x hours, the Bird will have traveled 29 * x = 29x miles

So;

34x - 29x = 5

5x = 5

x = 5/5

x = 1 hour
