If you were to measure a straight line from New York to Hong Kong it would measure 12.6 cm. If the scale of the map says that 30

00 miles are 3.2 cm, what is the distance between New York and Hong Kong in miles?

WE can solve it by ratio and proportions

Let the distance be x

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{x}{12.6}=\dfrac{3000}{3.2}

\\ \sf\longmapsto 3.2x=3000(12.6)

\\ \sf\longmapsto 3.2x=37800

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=\dfrac{37800}{3.2}

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=11812.5mi

Answer:

  • 11812.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • 3000 miles → 3.2 cm
  • x miles → 12.6 cm

<u>Solve for x by cross-product:</u>

  • 3.2x = 3000*12.6
  • x = 37800/3.2
  • x = 11812.5 miles

At 8am,Ming Wei started travelling from Town A to Town B.At 8:40am, Ali started travelling from Town B to Town A.Mingwei's speed
Vesnalui [34]
Let's write some equations.

Mingwei's distance from Town A after x hours from 8:00 is 45x.

Ali's distance from Town B after x hours is 30x-20, since he doesn't start walking for 40 minutes.

When Mingwei's distance is twice Ali's, they've met up (since their distance from Town A is twice their distance from Town B).

So, this gives 45x=60x-40, so 15x=40, so x=\frac{40}{15} = \frac{8}{3}, so the time is 10:40.

After \frac83 hours, Mingwei has traveled 45 * 8 / 3 = 120 kilometers while Ali has traveled sixty, so the distance between the towns is 180 kilometers.

(80 POINTS) What rule describes a dilation with a scale factor of ½ and the center of dilation at the origin?
lesya [120]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

(x, y) -> (1/2x, 1/2y)

When you dilate a side, point, etc, you are multiplying the original dimension by the scale factor. That is represented in option C: the original x and y are multiplied by the scale factor, 1/2! Hope that helps! :)

Nine years ago, Tarah opened a savings account with her bank. She started with a balance of $359 and has not made any withdrawal
Nikitich [7]

Answer: They should have like $100.52 Or something I’m assuming

Step-by-step explanation: I’m doing this to finish the 3 steps for this website and I have no idea what this is. So like she has $359, pays 8% interest for 9 years, 359 x 0.08 x 9 or however, someone else who’s a pro do this.

Suppose a tank contains 400 gallons of salt water. If pure water flows into the tank at the rate of 7 gallons per minute and the
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a differential equation problem most easily solved with an exponential decay equation of the form

y=Ce^{kt}. We know that the initial amount of salt in the tank is 28 pounds, so

C = 28. Now we just need to find k.

The concentration of salt changes as the pure water flows in and the salt water flows out. So the change in concentration, where y is the concentration of salt in the tank, is \frac{dy}{dt}. Thus, the change in the concentration of salt is found in

\frac{dy}{dt}= inflow of salt - outflow of salt

Pure water, what is flowing into the tank, has no salt in it at all; and since we don't know how much salt is leaving (our unknown, basically), the outflow at 3 gal/min is 3 times the amount of salt leaving out of the 400 gallons of salt water at time t:

3(\frac{y}{400})

Therefore,

\frac{dy}{dt}=0-3(\frac{y}{400}) or just

\frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{3y}{400} and in terms of time,

-\frac{3t}{400}

Thus, our equation is

y=28e^{-\frac{3t}{400} and filling in 16 for the number of minutes in t:

y = 24.834 pounds of salt

Jezebel took a train to visit her uncle. The train traveled at a constant speed of 40 miles per hour. Complete the table.​ Then,
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

[see below]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can tell that for every hour passed the distance traveled by the train would increase by 40 miles.

We can use the equation d = 40t to determine the values of the table. The 'd' is total distance and 't' is the number of given hours.

Two hours:

d = 40(2)

d = 80

Three Hours:

d = 40(3)

d = 120

Four Hours:

d = 40(4)

d = 160

Hope this helps.
