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.

This is Grade 9 Mathematics so I kinda stuck here so, if somebody can help me Please sin30⁰+csc60⁰​
mamaluj [8]

\huge\mathrm{Answer࿐}

  • \sin(30)  +  \csc(60)

  • \dfrac{1}{2}  +  \dfrac{2}{ \sqrt{3} }

  • \dfrac{ \sqrt{3 } + 4 }{2 \sqrt{3} }

To remove √3 from denominator, we multiply both numerator as well as denominator with √3

  • \dfrac{ \sqrt{3 } + 4 }{2 \sqrt{3} }  \times  \dfrac{ \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{3} }

  • \dfrac{3 + 4 \sqrt{3} }{6}
