Speed of truck= x
speed of train=x-30
A loaded moving truck is traveling 30 mph faster than a freight train. in the time it takes the train to travel 135 miles, the truck travels 225 miles. find the speed of the truck.

A loaded moving truck is traveling 30 mph faster than a freight train...
(x-30)=speed of train
the time it takes the train to travel 135 miles, the truck travels 225 miles...
135/(x-30)=225/x
the you multiply on both sides the x values and get...
 135x=225x-6750
then you subtract 225x on both sides...
-90x=-6750
then you divide -90 on both sides...
x=75
the speed of the truck is 75mph
i hope this helped give me a thanks and a 5 star rating if it helped! c:

Consider a prolific breed of rabbits whose birth and death rates, β and δ, are each proportional to the rabbit population P = P(
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

(P(t)) = P₀/(1 - P₀(kt)) was proved below.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, since β and δ are both proportional to P, we can deduce the following equation ;

dP/dt = k(M-P)P

dP/dt = (P^(2))(A-B)

If k = (A-B);

dP/dt = (P^(2))k

Thus, we obtain;

dP/(P^(2)) = k dt

((P(t), P₀)∫)dS/(S^(2)) = k∫dt

Thus; [(-1)/P(t)] + (1/P₀) = kt

Simplifying,

1/(P(t)) = (1/P₀) - kt

Multiply each term by (P(t)) to get ;

1 = (P(t))/P₀) - (P(t))(kt)

Multiply each term by (P₀) to give ;

P₀ = (P(t))[1 - P₀(kt)]

Divide both sides by (1-kt),

Thus; (P(t)) = P₀/(1 - P₀(kt))

Lelia says that 75% of a number will always be greater than 50% of a number. Complete the inequality to support Lelia's claim an
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Let 'x' and 'y' be two different numbers.

Leila says that 75% of a number will always be greater than 50% of a number. The inequality that represents this statement is the following:

0.75x > 0.5y

Let x = 100 and y=200. We have that:

0.75(100) > 0.5(200)

75 > 100 ❌ INCORRECT ❌

Given that we found a case in which 75% of a number is not greater than 50% of a number, we can conclude that Leila's claim is incorrect.

Hey there! 

Divide 200 by 25. 

200/25= 8

She is running an average of 8 m/s. (that's how we represent meters per second)

I hope this helps!
