<span>Warren drove from Townsville  </span>à<span> Villaville at 70 miles per hour
and from Villaville to Townsville </span>è<span>  50 miles per hours
He drove for a total of 12 hours.
=> 70 miles + 50 miles = 120 miles
=> 12 hours
So the unit rate of his driving is 120 miles / 12 hours
=> 120 miles  / 12 hours
=> 10 miles / hour
thus, he drove in total for 10 miles per hour.
And probably the 2 towns are about 60 miles away.</span>

Call the distance between the towns 'D' .

The time it takes to cover a distance is (distance) divided by (speed).

It takes Mr. Warren  D/70  hours on the first trip,
and it takes him  D/50  hours on the return.
All together, it takes him 12 hours.

                                                    D/70 + D/50         =  12 hours

Change the fractions to
a common denominator
(350) for adding:                  5D / 350 + 7D / 350  =  12

Add:                                              12D / 350           =  12

Divide each side by  12 :               D / 350             =  1

Multiply each side by  350 :              D                    =  350 miles .

Check:

Going:        350mi / 70 mph = 5 hours

Coming:     350mi / 50 mph = 7 hours

Total                                          12 hours            yay !

Nandini makes 'halwa' one evening and divides it into four equal portions for her family of four. However, just as they are abou
wel

Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total 'halwa' made = 1

Divided into four equal portion = 1/4

Arrival of an unexpected guest = 1/5

By what percentage has each family member's share been reduced:

Change in the sharing proportion:

Previous share ratio - new sharing ratio

(1/4 - 1/5) = (5 - 4) / 20 = 1/20

That means total reduction in the sharing = 1/ 20

Since each member comes contributed equally:

Reduction in each family member's share ;

(1 / 20) ÷ 4

(1 / 20) * 1/4 = 1/ 80

Percentage reduction:

(Reduction / original share) * 100%

[(1/80) ÷ (1/4)] * 100

(1/80 * 4/1) * 100%

(1/20) * 100%

= 5%

Reduction in each family members share = 5%

Consider the function f(x) = 3x2 + 7x + 2. What is the value of the discriminant? –17253173 How many x-intercepts does this func
myrzilka [38]
What is the value of the discriminant?
 For this case, the discriminant will be given by
 b ^ 2 - 4 * a * c
 Where
 b = 7
 a = 3
 c = 2
 substituting
 b ^ 2 - 4 * a * c = (7) ^ 2 - 4 * (3) * (2) = 25
 Therefore the value of the discriminant is 25.
 How many x-intercepts does this function have?
 It has two intercepts with the x axis and can be found by equaling the function to zero. That is to say,
 3x2 + 7x + 2 = 0
 The results will be the interceptions with x.
 What are the number of zeros for this function?
 The number of zeros for this function is
 two real number solutions
 Because it is a quadratic function.
