Answer:

32 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Let the total distance be x miles

Marks speed= 16miles per hour

Trisha's speed= 12 miles per hour

Trisha has covered 8 miles and has  (x-8) miles to finish line

We know that

Speed= distance/time

time= distance/speed

Hence the time taken for Mark to finish is

time= x/16---------------1

The time taken for Trisha to finish is

time= (x-8)/12-----------2

equate 1 and 2 above

x/16= (x-8)/12

cross multiply

16(x-8)= 12*x

16x-128= 12x

collect like terms

16x-12x= 128

4x=128

x= 128/4

x= 32 miles

Hence they will meet at exactly 32 miles along the way

kykrilka [37]

Numbers whose only factors are 1 and itself is known as prime numbers , numbers whose factors besides 1 and itself are composite numbers, we can use the sieve of Eratosthenes to determine whether the number is prime or composite.

Given a paragraph in which there are blanks:

A _____ is a number whose only factors are 1 and itself. If a number has  factors besides 1 and itself, it is called a _____. You can use divisibility rules or _______ to help you determine whether a number is prime or composite.

We are required to fill the blank with appropriate options.

We have to fill "prime numbers" in the first blank.

We have to fill "composite numbers" in the second blank.

We have to fill "the sieve of Eratosthenes" in the third blank.

Hence numbers whose only factors are 1 and itself is known as prime numbers , numbers whose factors besides 1 and itself are composite numbers, we can use the sieve of Eratosthenes to determine whether the number is prime or composite.

URGENT NOW: Use the graph below to fill in the blank with the correct number: f(−2) = _______ X, Y graph. Plotted points negativ
navik [9.2K]
The answer would be 2. As you can see on the point, you already have (-2,2) as a point. F(x) equals y in a sense. So when plugging in x into a function, you should get its respect y value. In the function graph, -2 yields 2. Therefore, your answer is 2.
