Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If Thaddeus drives the whole 16 hours, the distance between them is ...
distance = speed · time
distance = 20 mi/h · 16 h
distance = 320 miles.
It is 45 miles more than that. For each hour that Ian drives, their separation distance increases by (25 mph -20 mph)·(1 h) = 5 mi. Then Ian must have driven ...
(45 mi)/(5 mi/h) = 9 h
The rest of the 16 hours is the time that Thaddeus drove: 7 hours.
___
Let x represent the time Ian drives. Then 16-x is the time Thaddeus drives. Their total distance driven is ...
distance = speed · time
365 mi = (25 mi/h)(x) + (20 mi/h)(16 h -x)
45 mi = (5 mi/h)(x) . . . . . . . . subtract 320 miles, collect terms
(45 mi)/(5 mi/h) = x = 9 h . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
_____
<em>Comment on the solution</em>
You may notice a similarity between the solution of this equation and the verbal discussion above. (That is intentional.) It works well to let a variable represent the amount of the highest contributor. Here, that is Ian's time, since he is driving at the fastest speed.
Answer:
The speed of the plane with no wind is 378 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since at maximum speed, an airplane travels 1680 miles against the wind in 5 hours, and flying with the wind. the plane can travel the same distance in 4 hours, to determine what is the speed of the plane with no wind, the following calculation must be performed:
Against the wind = 1680/5 = 336
With the wind = 1680/4 = 420
420 - ((420 - 336) / 2) = X
420 - 42 = X
378 = X
Therefore, the speed of the plane with no wind is 378 miles per hour.
Answer:
680 Bacteria
Step-by-step explanation:
378 is evenly divisible by 126, which is equal to 3.
The first 126 minutes, the 85 bacteria will double to 170 bacteria.
The second 126 minutes (252 minutes total), the 170 bacteria will double to 340 bacteria.
The final 126 minutes (378 minutes total), the 340 bacteria will double to 680 bacteria total.
If this helped, a brainliest would be greatly appreciated!
Divide 45 by 5 and 5 hours by 5 so it’s 9 miles per hour. So the equation would be: m = 9/h (a fraction)
