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:

A computer randomly selects a letter from the alphabet.
Nikolay [14]

1) 26 different outcomes are in the sample space.

2) 1 / 26 is the probability that the computer produces the first letter of your first name.

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

<u>1) You have to find out the different outcomes in the sample space :</u>

  • A "Sample space" is defined as the set of all the possible outcomes of an event.
  • Here, the given event is randomly selecting a letter from the alphabets.

Therefore, the sample space must contain all the possible alphabets that can  be chosen randomly.

The sample space is the set of all the 26 alphabets in English language.

⇒ Sample space = {A,B,C,D...........,Y,Z}

⇒ 26 different outcomes.

<u>2) The probability the computer produces the first letter of your first name :</u>

Here, the required outcome is getting the first letter of your first name.

Probability = No. of required outcomes / total no. of outcomes.

For example, The name Alex Davis has the first letter of the fist name as alphabet 'A'.

∴ Probability = 1 / 26

Similarly, for any first name there is going to be any one alphabet from the 26 alphabets, thus the probability to get the first letter will be always 1 / 26.

Translate into an algebraic expression and simplify if possible. C It would take Maya x minutes to rake the leaves and Carla y m
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

in one minute they rake \frac{y+x}{xy} leaves working together.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Maya rakes the leaves in x minutes, then, in one minute she rakes \frac{1}{x} leaves.

In the case of Carla, if she rakes the leaves in y minutes, in one minute she rakes \frac{1}{y} leaves.

Therefore, to know the portion of leaves they can rake in one minute working together, we need to sum up both of the portions each one of them rake in one minute, this gives us: \frac{1}{x}+ \frac{1}{y}

Now, to simplify this expression:

\frac{1}{x}+ \frac{1}{y}  =\frac{y+x}{xy}

Thus, in one minute they rake \frac{y+x}{xy} leaves.
