Answer:

1.2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Speed of the westbound train = 55 miles/hr

Speed of the eastbound train = 75 miles/hr

Since the trains are moving in the opposite direction their relative speed becomes,

55 miles/hr +75 miles/hr=130 miles/hr.

Since, time = distance / speed

Now the time taken for the two trains to be 156 miles apart

time = \frac{156 miles}{130 miles/hr} \\=1.2 hours

Hence, the time taken for the two trains to be 156 miles apart = 1.2 hours

The time that taken for the two trains is 1.2 hours.

The computation of the time taken for the two trains is shown below:

Given that

The westbound train travels 55 miles per hour.

And, the eastbound train travels 75 miles per hour.

So, the total speed is

= 55 miles per hour + 75 miles per hour

= 130 miles per hour

The distance is 156 miles

So, the time taken is

= \frac{distance}{speed}\\\\= \frac{156\ miles}{130\  miles\ per\ hour}\\\\

= 1.2 hours

Therefore we can conclude that the time that taken for the two trains is 1.2 hours.

253. First, I squared 8, to get 64, then multiplied that by 12. I subtracted 9 from this because 3x3 is 9 to get 759. Then, divide this by 3 to get 253. Hope this helped!

In what time the compound amount of Rs 60000 at 10% rate is rs 79860?​
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

P= Rs 60000

A= Rs 79860

T=1 & 1/2 year = 3/2 years

    = 3/2 x 2 = 3 half years

R= ?  

Applying the formula A= P (1+r/100)^T

           79860  = 60000 (1+ r/100)^3

                  79860/60000 = (1+r/100)^3

                  1331/1000 = (1+r/100)^3

root(3)(1331/1000) = (1+r/100)

                     11/10 = 1+r/100

                     11/10 -1 = r/100

                      1/10 = r/100

                       r= 10 %

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer: Solution: (12, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 4y = 12

3x + 4y = 48

Add both equations

5x = 60

Divide both sides by 5

x = 12

We can use the value of x to find y

3x + 4y = 48

3 (12) + 4y = 48

36 + 4y = 48

Subtract 36 from both sides

4y = 12

Divide both sides by 4

y = 3

Solution: (12, 3)
