Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The two trains are travelling towards each other. That means that their total distance = 912 km. Neither one has gone that distance by itself. The effect this has on the question is that you add the two rates multiplied by time.

Givens

r1 = x

r2 = x + 12

t = 3 hours

d = 912 km

Equation

d = r * t

r1 * t + r2 * t = 912

Solution

3x + 3*(x + 12) = 912 Remove the brackets

3x + 3x + 36 = 912 Combine like terms

6x + 36 = 912 Subtract 36 from both sides

-36 -36

6x = 876 Divide both sides by 6

6x/6 = 876/6

x = 146 km/h

Answer

Slow train = 146 km/hr

Fast train = 146 + 12 = 158 km/hr

To find 40% of 75 and calculate 2 of 5 . 75 . Does her calculation Correct value for 40% of 75

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Yes, her calculation is correct. The value of 40% of 75 is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of 40% of 75 is

$\frac{40}{100}\times 75=\frac{3000}{100}=30$

The value of $\frac{2}{5}$ of 75 is

$\frac{2}{5}\times 75=2\times 15=30$

From the above calculation it is noticed that the value of 40% of 75 and $\frac{2}{5}$ of 75 are same, therefore the calculation is correct and the value of 40% of 75 is 30.
