60 mph is One mile a minute. So the train will start to exit the tunnel after 7 minutes. It will finish exiting the tunnel 1.5 mins later.

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:

you first start by making your equation: 45 +.25x = 70 +.15x. then subtract .15x from both sides. it should look like 45 +.10x = 70. subtract 45 from both sides then you get .10x = 25. divide 10 to both sides and you get 250. so the two companies will be the same at 250 texts.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to think of it as 30% of 80.

30      ?

----- = ----

100    80

Now you have to find out what is in the blank by doing 80 times 30 to find what that equals. That equals 2,400. Now you have to find what times a 100 gets you 2,400. You divide a 100 by 2,400 to get 24. There's your answer
