The tail of the train starts one mile from the mouth of the tunnel and it must travel that distance plus the length of the tunnel in 3 minutes.
Let t = tunnel length
t + 1 = distance the tail must travel in 3 minutes.
3 minutes = 1/20 hr
(t+1) miles / 60 m/hr = 1/20 hr
t + 1 = 60/20
t+1 = 3
Subtract 1 from each side:
t = 2
The tunnel is 2 miles long.
Answer:
cheeseburger is $3 and chips is $0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Let price of cheeseburger be x while price of a bag of chips be y hence for the case of Nathan, we can write the equation as x+y=3.75. Similarly, for Jack, we can write it as 2x+3y=8.25
x+y=3.75 hence x=3.75-y and substituting this into the second equation we have
2x+3y=8.25
2(3.75-y)+3y=8.25
7.5-2y+3y=8.25
y=8.25-7.5=0.75
x=3.75-y=3.75-0.75=3
Therefore, price of cheeseburger is $3 and chips is $0.75
Answer:
B. 0.10 - 0.20 = 0.10.
Step-by-step explanation:
100/1000 = 0.10 of the population were born , and
200/1000 = 0.20 of the population died so it is:
0.10 - 0.20 = 0.10.
