Stu hiked a trail at an average rate of 3 miles per hour. He ran back on the same trail at an average rate of 5 miles per hour.

He traveled for a total of 3 hours. Which equation can be used to find the time it took Stu to hike the trail? 3t = 5 3t = 5(3 – t) 3 + t = 5 + (3 – t) 3t + 5(3 – t) = 3

3t = 5(3-t)
3t = 15 - 5t
3t + 5t = 15
8t = 15
t = 15/8
t = 1 7/8 

7/8 * 60 mins = 52.50 minutes

t = 1 hour and 52.5 minutes

It took Stu 1 hour and 52.5 minutes to hike the trail one way.

A truck with a heavy load drove from Boston to New York at 50 mph. After dropping of the load, it returned from New York to Bost
leva [86]

Answer:

175/3 or 58.333...

Step-by-step explanation:

This is fairly complicated but I will try to make it as simple as possible. I also apologize in advance for how impossible it is to make fractions look like fractions. I also had to insert a bunch of unnecessary parentheses just because the fractions that I can make are relatively inaccurate.

The distance between 2 cities can be represented as d.

Time is d/r if r is rate, so B->NY=d/50

Similarly,NY->B is d/70

Obviously the average speed is 2d/(d/50+d/70), this is just an average time

Now just remove the d and get (d/d)*2/(1/50+1/70)

You can now multiply by the LCM/LCM, which is 350/350.

After calculating you will get 700/12 which is 58.333...(This is how to enter into your RSM browser) Hope this helps. Sorry it is so late.

Year      Net Profit
1            <span>$14,250.00
2            $15,390.00
3            $16,621.20
4            $17,950.90</span>2

We need to get the increase of the net profit of the current year from the previous year.

Percentage increase = (Current year - Previous Year)/ Previous Year    * 100%

Year 2:  (15,390 - 14, 250) / 14,250   * 100% = 0.08 * 100% = 8%
Year 3: (16,621.20 - 15,390) / 15,390 * 100% = 0.08 * 100% = 8%
Year 4: (17,950.90 - 16,621.20) / 16,621.20 * 100% = 0.08 * 100% = 8%

Every year the net income increases by 8%. So, the net income in Year 5 will be:

17,950.90 x 1.08 = 19,386.97  Choice D.

Answer:

  y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Any asymptotes of a rational function will be described by the quotient of the numerator and denominator (excluding any remainder).

  f(x)=\dfrac{-2x}{x+1}=-2+\dfrac{2}{x+1}

The horizontal asymptote is ...

  y = -2
