A fox sees a rabbit 35 feet away and starts chasing it. As soon as the fox starts moving the rabbit sees it and starts running a

way at a speed of 40 feet per second. What should the fox's speed be to catch up to the rabbit?

The speed of the fox should be greater than the rabbit's speed in other to catch up, Hence, the speed of the fox must be 35/t + 40

The distance between the rabbit and fox, d = 35 feets

The rabbit's speed = 40 feets per second

Fox's speed = F

In other to obtain a specific speed for the fox, the time at which the fox is required to catch up with the rabbit should be given.

Let the time = t

Recall :

Speed = distance / time

Distance = speed × time

Rabbit's distance from fox after time t will be :

35 + (40 × t) = 35+40t

Fox's distance after time, t = fox speed × t = F × t

In other to catch up ; both fox and rabbit must be at the same distance ;

Rabbit's distance at time t = Fox's distance at time t

35+40t = Ft

To solve for F which is the fox's speed:

Divide both sides by t

(35+40t) / t = Ft/t

35/t + 40 = F

Hence, the fox' s speed must be : 35/t + 40

To obtain the exact speed of the fox, we must be given a specific time value.

Stan's cookie recipe makes 24 cookies and calls for exactly 384 sprinkles. He is wondering how many sprinkles (p)eft parenthesis
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

960 sprinkles

Step-by-step explanation:

x = sprinkles

For this problem we will create a ratio

\frac{24}{384} :\frac{60}{x}

24x=384*60

24x=23,040

x=23,040/24

x=960

Stan would need 960 sprinkles!

Hope this helps!

(pls mark as brainiest)

Thanks!

Which is a solution to the equation 6x + y = –4?
KatRina [158]
1. Make y the subject of the equation
y = -4 - 6x


2. Substitute values for guess and check
8 = -4 - (6 x 2)
8 = -4 - 12
This is incorrect.

2 = -4 - (6 x 1)
2 = -4 -6
This is incorrect.

-10 = -4 - (6 x 1)
-10 = -4 -6
This is correct.

The correct answer is C.

A boy has 380 prize tickets he wants to exchange for action figures at a prize booth. At
loris [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

 

Hi there,

If the boy wants 80 small action figures

that is equivalent to 40 x 7 (as 7 tickets

gives him 2 small action figures)

= 280 tickets.

The 380 tickets he has originally minus the

280 leaves 100 tickets to get 20 large action figures

(100/5)

He will have 80 small and 20 large action figures

80:20 = 4:1

Hope this helps:-)
