Station A and Station B are 120 miles apart. A train traveling from station A to station B travels exactly 1/3 of the distance when it is held up and stops for 16 minutes. When the train continues its journey, the engineer increases its average speed by 15 mph so that the train will arrive at station B on schedule. Find the average speed of the train before it stopped for 16 minutes.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

60

Answer 2

The average speed of the train was 80mph.

What is equation?

An equation is a  mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.

Here, Given that, Station A and Station B are 120 miles apart.

And, a train traveling from station A to station B travels exactly 1/3 of the distance when it is held up and stops for 16 minutes.

Let, its average speed was x mph.

Then, Total time if didn't stop = 120/x h

Now, before stop it took time =( 1/3×120)/x h =40/x h

After stop it took time = 80/(x+15) h

i.e. 40/x +16/60+ 80/(x+15) = 120/x

⇒80/(x+15)+8/30= 80/x

⇒80(1/x-1/(x+15))=8/30

⇒10×(15/x^2+15x)=1/30

⇒x^2+15x=10×15×30

⇒x^2+15x-450=0

⇒x^2+75x-60x-450=0

⇒(x+75)(x-60)=0

⇒x=60 or, x= -75

Hence. the required speed was 60mph.

Which number line shows all the values of that make the inequality -3 +1 < 7 true?

Answers

Answer:

Number line D is true

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]-3x + 1 < 7[/tex]

See attachment for number lines

Required

Which number line makes the inequality true

First, we solve for x in [tex]-3x + 1 < 7[/tex]

[tex]-3x < 7 - 1[/tex]

[tex]-3x < 6[/tex]

Divide through by -3

[tex]\frac{-3x}{-3} < \frac{6}{-3}[/tex]

[tex]x > -2[/tex]

The inequality means x is greater than -2.

This means that, the line must point to the right of -2 and the "greater than" means that the circle must be opened

Murray’s father deposited $6,000 of his savings into two accounts. One account earns 1.5 percent interest, and the other account earns 2.5 percent interest. At the end the year, the interest in the account that earned 2.5 percent was $110.00 more than the other account. Which system represents the amounts of money, x and y, that was put into each account?
x + y = 6,000. 0.025 x + 0.015 y = 110.
x + y = 6,000. 0.25 x + 0.15 y = 110.
x + y = 6,000. 0.025 x minus 0.015 y = 110.
x + y = 6,000. 2.5 x minus 1.5 y = 110.

The function y=-16x^2+16x+32 represents the height in feet of a firework x seconds after it is launched

Answers

Answer:

36feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are not asked what to find, we can as well find the maximum height reached by the rocket

At max height, velocity is zero

V = dy/dx = 0

dy/dx = -32x + 16

0 = -32x+16

32x = 16

x = 16/32

x = 0.5s

Get the maximum height

y = -16(0.5)^2+16(0.5) + 32

y = -4+8+32

y = 36feet

Hence the max height reached by the rocket is 36feet

A population numbers 15,500 and grows at 3.75% per year. Write an exponential model for the growth of this population.

Answers

Answer: [tex]f(x)=15500(1.0375)^x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential model for growth is given by :-

[tex]f(x)=A(1+r)^x[/tex], where A = initial value , r = growth rate (in decimal), x = time  (in years).

Given: A= 15,500      r= 3.75% = 0.0375

The exponential model for the growth of this population will be :

[tex]f(x)=15500(1+0.0375)^x\\\\\Rightarrow\ f(x)=15500(1.0375)^x[/tex]

hence, the required model: [tex]f(x)=15500(1.0375)^x[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Rs 19 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Fromm the above question, we are told that:

The cost of 2/3 meters of rope = Rs 12 3/4

We are asked to calculate the cost per meter of rope.

Hence:

2/3 meters of rope = Rs 12 3/4

1 meter of rope = Rs x

Cross Multiply

2/3x = 1 × 12 3/4

x = 12 3/4 ÷ 2/3

x = 51/4 ÷ 2/3

x = 51/4 × 3/2

x = 153/8

x = Rs 19 1/8

Therefore, the Cost per meter of rope = Rs 19 1/8

does anyone know the answer to 5(2t+3)=75 that can tell me how to find the answer not just the answer

Answers

Answer: Let me know if this helps.

Step-by-step explanation:

5(2t+3)=75     Distribute the 5 using multiplication. 5x2t and 5x3

10t+15=75      Subtract 15 because you need to get the t by itself.

10t = 60         Now divide by 10 to get t by itself. 10/10 and 60/10.

t = 6               Answer.

Answer:

t=6

Step-by-step explanation:

It's all about get t on one side of the equation, and so everything else on the other side of the equation.

The first thing we want to get rid of is the 5. The 5 is multiplied by (2t+3), so to get rid of it, we divide both sides by five (divide both sides since they must remain equal):

(5(2t+3))/5=75/5

2t+3=15

The next thing we can get rid of is the 3. Subtract 3 from both sides:

2t+3-3=15-3

2t=12

Now, we get rid of the 2. Divide both sides by 2:

2t/2=12/2

t=6

Steve studies math for 7/8 of an hour and history for 2/3 of an hour. How many hours did he study?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 1 13/24 hours or 1 hour, 32.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Find a common multiple of the denominators 3 and 8, which would be 24.  Convert the fractions:

7/8 x 3/3 = 21/24.

2/3 x 8/8 = 16/24

Add the two numerators = 37/24 or 1 13/24.  

1/24 of an hour is 2.5 minutes, so 13/24 is 32.5 minutes.

The answer is 1 13/24 hours or 1 hour, 32.5 minutes
