Dale drove to the mountains last weekend. there was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 7 hours. when dale drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 5 hours. if his average rate was 18 miles per hour faster on the trip home, how far away does dale live from the mountains? do not do any rounding.
Answer:
Dale live 315 miles from the mountains
Step-by-step explanation:
Let y be the speed of Dale to the mountains
Time taken by Dale to the mountains=7 hrs
Therefore distance covered by dale to the mountain = speed × time = 7y ......eqn 1
Time taken by Dale back home = 5hours
Since it speed increased by 18 miles per hour back home it speed = y+18
So distance traveled home =speed × time = (y+18)5 ...... eqn 2
Since distance cover is same in both the eqn 1 and eqn 2.
Eqn 1 = eqn 2
7y = (y+18)5
7y = 5y + 90
7y - 5y = 90 (collection like terms)
2y = 90
Y = 45
Substitute for y in eqn 1 to get distance away from mountain
= 7y eqn 1
= 7×45
= 315 miles.
∴ Dale leave 315 miles from the mountains

Answer:
R300
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>To solve:</u>
- Multiply 25 by 6 to represent the earnings of a shift.
- Multiply the shift earnings by 2 to represent how much he earned over the weekend.
<u>Multiply</u><u> </u><u>25 by 6:</u>

<u>Multiply 150 by 2:</u>

Answer:
1/6
1/12
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
There are three possible outcomes in the left spinner, and four possible outcomes in the right spinner. So there are a total of 3×4=12 possible combinations. We can show that by making a grid:
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}&R&B&G\\R&RR&BR&GR\\B&BR&BB&BG\\P&PR&BP&GP\\Y&RY&BY&GY\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D%26R%26B%26G%5C%5CR%26RR%26BR%26GR%5C%5CB%26BR%26BB%26BG%5C%5CP%26PR%26BP%26GP%5C%5CY%26RY%26BY%26GY%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Of these 12 combinations, 2 show both spinners landing on the same color (RR and BB). So the probability is 2/12 = 1/6.
There is only 1 outcome in which the first spinner lands on R <em>and</em> the second spinner lands on P (PR), so the probability is 1/12.
There are 6 outcomes in which the first spinner lands on R <em>or</em> the second spinner lands on P (RR, BR, PR, RY, BP, GP). So the probability is 6/12 = 1/2.
