Answer:
131.3 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The two cars are moving from different directions. The total distance between the two cars = 118 miles + 256 miles = 374 miles.
Let us assume that the two cars meet at point O, let the distance between car c and O be d₁, the distance between car d and point O be d₂, hence:
d₁ + d₂ = 374 miles (1)
Let speed of car d be x mph, therefore speed of car c = 2x mph (twice of car d). If it take the cars t hours to meet at the same point, hence
For car c:
2x = d₁/t
t = d₁ / 2x
For car d;
x = d₂/t
t = d₂/ x
Since it takes both cars the same time to meet at the same point, therefore:
d₁/2x = d₂ / x
d₁ = 2d₂
d₁ - 2d₂ = 0 (2)
Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously gives d₁ = 249.3 miles, d₂ = 124.7 miles
Therefore the distance from point of meet to Boston = 249.3 - 118 = 131.3 miles
Answer:
4 9/10
Step-by-step explanation:
7/10×7=49/10= 4 9/10
A loan of $1500 attracts a daily interest of 3(0.29) = $0.87
For 120 days you pay $0.87 x 120 = $104.40 interest.
I = PrT; where P is the principal, r is the annual interest rate and T is the time.
500 x r x 1/365 = 0.29
r = 0.29 x 365 / 500 = 105.85/500 = 0.2117
Therefore,, Annual interest rate = 21.17%
