A, who travels 4 miles an hour starts from a certain place 2 hours in advance of B, who travels 5
miles an hour in the same direction. How many hours must B travel to overtake A?

Answers

Answer 1

It will take B 8 hours to travel in order to overtake A.

The relationship among the distance, time and speed can be expressed by using the relation.

[tex]\mathbf{speed = \dfrac{distance}{time}}[/tex]

In this kind of ratio relation, it is pertinent to understand that, the rise in a variable cause a decrease in the other, where the third variable is constant.

Here:

as speed (v) rises;time (t) decreases, and distance (d) is constant

From the given relation:

Distance = speed × time

So, we can have a table expressing the parameters given in the question as follows:

           v            t            d

A          4            t+2     4t + 8

B          5             t         5t

Equating both distance together, we have:

4t + 8 = 5t

collecting like terms, we have:

4t - 5t = -8

t = 8 hours

Therefore, we can conclude that it will take B 8 hours to travel in order to overtake A.

The face of a clock is divided into 12 equal parts. The radius of the clock face is 10 inches. Assume the hands of the clock will form a central angle. The face of a clock is divided into 12 equal parts. Which statements about the clock are accurate? Select three options. The central angle formed when one hand points at 1 and the other hand points at 3 is 30°. The circumference of the clock is approximately 62. 8 inches. The minor arc measure when one hand points at 12 and the other hand points at 4 is 120°. The length of the major arc between 3 and 10 is approximately 31. 4 inches. The length of the minor arc between 6 and 7 is approximately 5. 2 inches.

Answers

The accurate statements are:

b. The circumference of the clock is approximately 62.8 inches. c. The minor arc measure when one hand points at 12 and the other hand points at 4 is 120°.  e. The length of the minor arc between 6 and 7 is approximately 5.2 inches.

The given parameters are:

[tex]n = 12[/tex] --- number of parts

[tex]r = 10[/tex] --- the radius

(a) The central angle

Between points 1 and 3, there are 2 sections, each of which has a measure of 30 degrees.

So, the measure of the two sections is:

[tex]\theta = 30^o \times 2[/tex]

[tex]\theta = 60^o[/tex]

Hence, (a) is false

(b) The circumference

This is calculated using:

[tex]C = 2\pi r[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]C = 2 \times 3.14\times 10[/tex]

[tex]C = 62.8[/tex]

Hence, (b) is true

(c) The measure of the minor arc

Between points 12 and 4, there are 4 sections, each of which has a measure of 30 degrees.

So, the measure of the four sections is:

[tex]\theta = 30^o \times 4[/tex]

[tex]\theta = 120^o[/tex]

Hence, (c) is true

(d) The length of the major arc

Between points 3 and 10, there are 7 sections, each of which has a measure of 30 degrees.

So, the measure of the seven sections is:

[tex]\theta = 30^o \times 7[/tex]

[tex]\theta = 210^o[/tex]

The length of the arc is:

[tex]L = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi r[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]L = \frac{210}{360} \times 2 \times 3.14 \times 10[/tex]

[tex]L = \frac{13188}{360}[/tex]

[tex]L = 36.3[/tex]

Hence, (d) is false

(e) The length of the minor arc

There is only one section between points 6 and 7

So, the measure of the section is:

[tex]\theta = 30^o[/tex]

The length of the arc is:

[tex]L = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi r[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]L = \frac{30}{360} \times 2 \times 3.14 \times 10[/tex]

[tex]L = \frac{1884}{360}[/tex]

[tex]L = 5.2[/tex]

Hence, (e) is true

Answer:

x = 2 and x + y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

With the xy example filled, I could work out that x was 2 by realising that if y was -5, then to get to -10 it'd have to be multiplied by two, and I just added -5 and 2 after working out x for the bottom grid.

Hope this helps and you have a good day!

Left box is two (2) and the bottom box is negative three (-3)...

...You are given y, which is -5. We need to figure out x to fill the other 3

boxes or diamonds. xy is another way of saying x * y, so we know that

x * -5 = -10. We can use division to solve this. -10 / -5 = x, or 2. Now we can

fill in the top and left diamond. All that's left is to add x and y, or 2 and -5

together.

2 + -5 = -3

Top diamond : -10

Left diamond : 2

Bottom diamond : -3

Right diamond : -5

A store owner bought 15001500 pencils at \$0.10$0.10 each. If he sells them for \$0.25$0.25 each, how many of them must he sell to make a profit of exactly \$100.00$100.00

Answers

Based on the information given, the number of pencils that should be sold will be 1000 pencils.

Let the number that should be sold be x.

A store owner bought 1500 pencils at $0.10 each. Therefore, the cost price will be:

= 1500 × $0.10 = $150

Profit = Selling price - Cost price

100 = 0.25x - 150

0.25x = 100 + 150

0.25x = 250

x = 250/0.25

x = 1000

Therefore, 1000 pencils should be sold.

What is the equation?

the equation is the relationship between variables and represented as y = ax + b is an example of a polynomial equation.

here,
The total depth of dig = 38 feet
Total time took to dig 38 feet = 8 days
For 1 day, the depth of the dig = 38 / 8 = 4.75

Okay so for these problems it’s best to break up the problem and solve it step by step. First, 10 to the 5th power(the little 5) is the same as 10x10x10x10x10=100,000. So, 10 to the second power(little 2 on top) is equal to 10x10=100. Then after you find your answer there the problem becomes easier and all that’s left is to multiply and add. Next multiply 6x100,000=600,000 and 6x100=600. Finally we add them, 600,000 + 600= 600,600. 600,060 does not equal 600,600 so the equation is false.

You have to add all the angles inside together.
So you do 33+22+90 = 145
Then you do 180-145 which is 35 degrees.
Now you know the angle inside of x is 35. We need to find x.
Because a straight line is 180 degrees, you need to do 180-35 which is 145 degrees.
