Rates Question
12 A highway had a landslide, where 3,000 cubic yards of material fell on the road, requiring 200 dump truck loads to clear. On another highway, a slide left 40,000 cubic yards on the road. How many dump truck loads would be needed to clear this slide?
3,000 yd3 = 200 dtl
40,000 yd3 × 200 dtl = 2,667 dtl
3, 000 yd3
For the answer to the question above, we'll have to use the formula for velocity which is v =<u> d
</u> t and d = vt
Since the total distance is given, therefore we can get the time and it will look like this.
220t + 250t = 1880
<u>470t</u> = <u>1880
</u>470 470
the problem indicates that the train runs 250kph
Let's substitute:
d = 250(4)
the distance traveled by Lian is 1000km
<u>
</u>
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
Any real number to the power of 0 is one (being that there is always a denominator of 1).
Let wind speed = x mph
when she rode 2 miles against the wind we have:-
speed = distance / time so
20 - x = 2 / t -------(1) where t is the time she took.
when riding with the wind we have
20 + x = 3 / t--------(2) adding equations (1) and (2):-
40 = 2/t + 3/t
40 = 5/t
t = 5/40 = 1/8 hr
x = 20 - 2 / 1/8 = 20 - 16 = 4
Wind speed was 4 mph Answer
