Alex, Cameron and Sam are all taking part in a 400 m race.
They are each running at a different constant speed.
Alex is running 12% faster than Cameron, whilst Sam is running 2% slower than Cameron.

When Alex crosses the finish line, how many metres is Sam from the finish line?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A= C + 12%C = 1.12C

S=.C -2%C = .98C

A,C and S are the speeds of Alex, Cameron and Sam

400 meter race

how far is Sam from the finish line when Alex crosses the finish line?

distance = speed times time

400 = AT where T=Alex' finish time

400=1.12T

400=CU where U = Cameron's finish time

400=SV where V = Sam's finish time

T<U<V

Alex' finish time is less than Cameron's finish time is less than Sam's finish time

if Cameron runs at 20 meters per second, finishing in 20 seconds

then Sam is about 50 meters from the finish line when Alex finishes

Calculate the height of a tree whose shadow is 20m shorter when the angle of elevation of the sun is 60 than when the angle of elevation is 30

Answers

The height of a tree whose shadow is 20m shorter when the angle of elevation of the sun is 60 is 17.3 meters.

What is elevation?

The elevation is the distance above sea level. They are usually measured in meters or feet.

Let t be the height of the tree, then the length of the shadow will be:

Shadow length = t/tan(α)

where α is the angle of elevation. The difference in shadow lengths is:

20 m = t/tan(30°) -t/tan(60°) = t(√3 -1/√3)

= (20 m)/(2/√3) = 10√3 m

= 17.3 m

The height is 17.3 meters.

Solve the system of linear equations using the substitution method.

2d + 8y = 20 and y = 2

A. (1, 1)

B. 4, 4

C. (1, 2)

D. (2, 2)

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

2d + 8y = 20

y = 2

substitute y = 2 into the other equation

2d + 8(2) = 20

2d + 16 = 20 ( subtract 16 from both sides )

2d = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

d = 2

solution is (2, 2 )

answer-> D. (2,2)

Given,

2d + 8y = 20  .............................................(Equation i)

y = 2 .............................................................(Equation ii)

substituting y = 2 in equation i, we get

2d + 8(2) = 20

2d + 16 = 20

2d = 20 - 16

2d = 4

d = 2

Hence the correct answer would be option D. (2,2)

-5 < 3x -8 / means greater than or equal to

Answers

Answer:

Equation: -5 <3× -8

+8. +8

3 <3x

_ _

3. 3

Answer: 1 = X

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: -5 <3× -8

First Step: You must add 8 to -8 and move it to both sides. The reason why we do this is because on the left side we have 1 number and on the right side we have 2 numbers. We see that the right side has more numbers than the left, so we must move the -8 turning it to a positive 8 (8-8 cancels each other making 0) and adding the +8 in -8 to -5 as well, since we're adding to both sides.

Second Step: Since we added 8 to -5, it equals 3 now 8-5=3. Changing the equation to 3 <3x. Now we have to divide 3 to both sides as well, because we want the x to be by itself. So, 3 ÷ 3 = 1 and 3x ÷ 3 = x

A table is made using the following two patterns.

Pattern x: Starting number: 3, Rule: add 3

Pattern y: Starting number: 6, Rule: add 6

Complete the table for the given patterns.

And then it asks to graph the points from 3 points

Answers

The rules of the patterns are 3 + 3x and 6 + 6y

How to complete the pattern?

The patterns are given as:

Pattern x: Starting number: 3, Rule: add 3Pattern y: Starting number: 6, Rule: add 6

For pattern x, we have the following highlights:

Start = 3

Rule = Add 3

This means that the nth term of pattern x is:

Pattern x = 3 + 3x

For pattern y, we have the following highlights:

Start = 6

Rule = Add 6

This means that the nth term of pattern y is:

Pattern y = 6 + 6y

The complete table

For pattern x, set x = 0, 1, 2 and 3

So, we have

3 + 3x = 3 + 3(0) = 3

3 + 3x = 3 + 3(1) = 6

3 + 3x = 3 + 3(2) = 9

3 + 3x = 3 + 3(3) = 12

For pattern y, set y = 0, 1, 2 and 3

So, we have

6 + 6x = 6 + 6(0) = 6

6 + 6x = 6 + 6(1) = 12

6 + 6x = 6 + 6(2) = 18

6 + 6x = 6 + 6(3) = 24

A vacant lot is being converted into a community garden. The garden and a walkway around its perimeter have an area of 238 square feet. Find the width of the walkway if the garden measures 12 feet wide by 15 feet long.

Answers

Considering the area of the rectangular lot, the width of the walkway is of 3.9 feet.

What are the area and the perimeter of a rectangle?

Considering a rectangle of length l and width w, we have that the area and the perimeter are given as follows:

The area is given by A = lw.The perimeter is given by P = 2(l + w).

In the context of this problem, for the garden and the walkway, the dimensions are given as follows:

Length of 15 feet.Width of 12 + w, in which w is the width of the walkway.

Considering that the area is of 238 square feet, we can solve for the width of the walkway as follows:

15(12 + w) = 238

12 + w = 238/15

12 + w = 15.9.

w = 15.9 - 12

w = 3.9 feet, which is the width of the walkway.

Since the area is in square feet, the length and the width are in feet.

Let the income  = x

Amount spent on housing = (1/3) of the income

                                             [tex]\sf = \dfrac{1}{3}x[/tex]

Amount spent of daily expenditure = (2/5) of the income

Income = Savings + housing expenditure + daily expenditure  

Income - housing expenditure - daily expenditure = savings

Answers

Answer:

  16,400 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know the number of feet in a 5 km race, rounded to the nearest hundred. You are given conversion factors 5280 ft = 1 mi = 1.61 km.

Unit conversion

Unit conversion can be done by multiplying by a conversion factor whose numerator is equal to its denominator, and that cancels unwanted units, replacing them with units you want.

  [tex]5\text{ km}=5\text{ km}\times\dfrac{5280\text{ ft}}{1.61\text{ km}}\approx16397.5\text{ ft}\approx\boxed{16,\!400\text{ ft}}[/tex]

__

Additional comment

Both of the given conversions are equal to 1 mile, so their ratio is 1. We put feet on top of the fraction, because that is the unit we want. The km value is in the denominator so the km units in numerator and denominator cancel.

The conversion for km is 1 mi = 1.609344 km (exactly). The actual conversion to ft will give 16,404 76/381 ft. This has a very long repeating decimal fraction.

If one of the daughters marries a non-bald man and they have a son, the chance that the son will become bald as an adult is 0%

In the question, we have been given that the neither the father nor the mother is bald, and out of the four children only one son is bald, but the other son and the two daughters are not bald, now we solve the following:

Part a

A chance that the son will become bald as an adult:

If the daughter has no bald gene (XX), and she marries a non bald man then there is 0% chance that the son will become bald as an adult because neither the mom nor the dad has the baldness gene

Part b

The chance that she will become bald as an adult:

If the daughter having a bald gene ([tex]X^{b} X[/tex]) marries a non bald (XY)man then also there is a 0% chance that the daughter will be bald as an adult. As the baldness is a recessive trait, for the daughter to be bald she needs to have two baldness gene( one from father and one from mother). And since this is not the case the daughter might have baldness gene but the phenotype will be non-bald.

First, define variables for the integer and the next consecutive integer. Then set up an equation that represents the problem. Solve for x. Since x+1 is greater than x, insert your value into the expression and evaluate.

See details:

The value of the greater integer will be 10.

What is linear expression?

A linear expression is an algebraic statement where each term is either a constant or a variable raised to the first power.

Given that;

The algebraic expression is,

'' An integer is subtracted from 8 times the next consecutive integer, the difference is 71.''

Now,

Let a number = x

Then, Its consecutive number = (x + 1)

So, We can formulate;

⇒ 8 (x + 1) - x = 71

Solve for x as;

⇒ 8x + 8 - x = 71

⇒ 7x + 8 = 71

⇒ 7x = 71 - 8

⇒ 7x = 63

⇒ x = 9

Thus, The value of greater number = x + 1

                                                      = 9 + 1

                                                       = 10

Therefore, The value of the greater integer will be 10.
