Answer:
1 hour
Step-by-step explanation:
I find these easiest to work by considering the initial difference in distance and the speed at with that gap is closing.
__
The gap is 15 miles, the distance the first ship is from harbor when the second ship starts.
The rate of closure is the difference in the speeds of the two ships:
60 mph -45 mph = 15 mph
Then the closure time is ...
time = distance/speed
time = (15 mi)/(15 mi/h) = 1 h
It will take the second ship 1 hour to catch up to the first ship.
Add $20 and $60 and your answer which is $80 dividdd that by 1.
Answer:
The lowest fraction it can be simplified to is 1/8.
for 2a, use the theorems of geometry and such to look at the area of the square as 16 squares total, then use the lengths and Sim/cos rule for the triangular area, then subtract and you have you shaded area.
