Minato drove 390 miles. Part of the drive was along local roads, where his average speed was 20 mph, and the rest was along a hi

ghway, where his average speed was 60 mph. The drive took 8 hours. What distance, in miles did Minato drive along local roads?

Answer:

45 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the:

Total distance covered = 390 miles

Total time = 8 hours

Let the distance covered along the local way = L

And the distance covered along the highway = H

Along with local way,

Speed = distance/ time

20 = L / T

T = L /20 .... (1)

Along the highway,

Distance covered H = 390 - L

Let the time = t

Speed = distance/time

60 = (390 - L)/t

t = ( 390 - L)/60

But total time = T + t

That is

8 = L/20 + (390 - L)/60

The LCM at right hand side will be 60

8 = ( 3L + 390 - L )/60

Cross multiply

480 = 2L + 390

Collect the like terms

2L = 480 - 390

2L = 90

L = 90/2

L = 45 miles.

Therefore, the distance Minato drive along local roads is 45 miles

To solve problems about spans of time that include B.C. and A.D. dates, you would need to use which numbers?

Studentka2010 [4]

The correct numbers to use in solving problems about spans of time like B.C. and A.D. should be “integers”.

Integers are whole numbers (not a fractional number or not a decimal number) which can take a value of negative, zero, or positive number. Example of integers would be -1, 0 and 1.

<span>In calculations, the time period would be on the x-axis. Since B.C. and A.D. are two different spans of time, therefore in the calculations, the date of BC should be negative (negative x-axis) while the date of AD should be positive (positive x-axis). This would place the origin as the common reference.</span>

What is the perimeter of rhombus WXYZ?

oksian1 [2.3K]

<u>Answer</u>:

The perimeter of rhombus WXYZ is $4 \sqrt{13}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1 :Finding length of XY

Distance formula = $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 +(y_2-y_1)^2}$

here

$x_1$ = 5

$x_2$ =3

$y_1$ = -1

$y_2$ =2

XY = $\sqrt{(3-5)^2 +(2 -(-1))^2}$

XY = $\sqrt{(3-5)^2 +(2 +1))^2}$

XY = $\sqrt{(-2)^2 +(3))^2}$

XY = $\sqrt{4 +9}$

XY = $\sqrt{(13)}$

Step 2 :Finding length of YZ

Distance formula = $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 +(y_2-y_1)^2}$

here

$x_1$ = 3

$x_2$ =5

$y_1$ = 2

$y_2$ =5

YZ = $\sqrt{(5-3)^2 +(5-2)^2}$

YZ = $\sqrt{(2)^2 +(3)^2}$

YZ = $\sqrt{4 +9}$

YZ = $\sqrt{(13)}$

Step 3 : :Finding length of ZW

Distance formula = $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 +(y_2-y_1)^2}$

here

$x_1$ = 5

$x_2$ =7

$y_1$ = 5

$y_2$ =2

ZW = $\sqrt{(7-5)^2 +(5-2)^2}$

ZW = $\sqrt{(2)^2 +(3)^2}$

ZW = $\sqrt{4 +9}$

ZW = $\sqrt{(13)}$

Step 4 :Finding length of WX

Distance formula = $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 +(y_2-y_1)^2}$

here

$x_1$ = 7

$x_2$ =5

$y_1$ = 2

$y_2$ = -1

WX = $\sqrt{(7-5)^2 +((-1)-2)^2}$

WX = $\sqrt{(2)^2 +(-3)^2}$

WX = $\sqrt{4 +9}$

WX = $\sqrt{(13)}$

Step 5: finding the perimeter of the rhombus

Perimeter= 4 X side

=> $4 \times \sqrt{13}$

=> $4 \sqrt{13}$

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

10 AM

Step-by-step explanation:

Frank drove at a speed of 50 mph, and traveled a distance of 150 miles. This means he traveled for

150/50 = 3 hours.

7 AM + 3 hours = 10 AM
