Answers:

  • slower train = 139 km per hour
  • faster train = 159 km per hour

=================================================

Explanation:

x = rate of the slower train

x+20 = rate of the faster train

rates are in km per hour, abbreviated as kph

The train traveling at x kph will travel 5x km after 5 hours.

Use this formula

distance = rate*time

Using that same formula, the faster train travels 5(x+20) = 5x+100 kilometers in 5 hours.

The two distances must add to 1490 if we want the trains to pass by each other. Assume that the trains are traveling on parallel side-by-side tracks.

--------------------------

So,

(slower train distance) + (faster train distance) = 1490

(5x) + (5x+100) = 1490

10x+100 = 1490

10x = 1490-100

10x = 1390

x = 1390/10

x = 139

The slower train moves at a rate of 139 km per hour.

x+20 = 139+20 = 159

The faster train moves at a speed of 159 km per hour.

--------------------------

Check:

The slower train travels 139 kph and travels for 5 hours, so it covers a distance of 139*5 = 695 km

The faster train has a speed of 159 kph and travels for 5 hours, so it covers 159*5 = 795 km

Total distance = 695+795 = 1490

The answers are confirmed.

The wildflowers at a national park have been decreasing in numbers. There were 1200 wildflowers in the first year that the park
bonufazy [111]

Year      New flowers

1                 1200

2                 300

3                   75

There were 1200 wildflowers in the first year that the park started tracking them. Since then, there have been one fourth as many new flowers each year

Initially there are 1200 flowers and start decreasing by \frac{1}{4}

So first term is 1200 and common ratio is \frac{1}{4}.

Its a geometric sequence so summation becomes

i =1∑ ∞ 1200(\frac{1}{4})^{i-1}

Now we find the sum

We use sum formula

Sum = \frac{a}{1-r}

Where a is the first term , a= 1200

r is the common ratio , r= 1/4

Sum = \frac{1200}{1-(\frac{1}{4})}

Sum = \frac{1200}{\frac{3}{4}}

Sum = 1600 wildflowers
