8 minutes  would pass before they are 2,420 feet part

  • Let x represent the speed of the first student, X = 180ft/min
  • And Y represent the speed of the second student, Y = 120ft/min
  • The distance between the two students = 2,420 – 20 = 2400
<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Since the two students are moving in the opposite direction, then the relative speed will be the sum of their speed. This can be expressed as:

Relative speed = speed of student X + the speed of student Y

Relative speed = 120 + 180  

= 300ft/min

Recall the distance between the two students is 2,400  ,

To determine the time that would pass before they are 2,420 feet apart, then we have to use the formula to calculate time, which is:

Time = distance / time

= \frac{2400}{300}

=  8minutes

Thus, 8 minutes  would pass before they are 2,420 feet part.

Speed of student A is 180 ft/min
Speed of student B is 120 ft/min
Relative speed=(120+180)=300 ft/min
Distance between them is 2420 ft
Time taken for them to meet will be:
time=distance/speed
=(2420-20)/300
=8 min

PLEASE help!!!! Jackie runs and dances for a total of 55 minutes every day. She dances 25 minutes more than she runs. Part A: Wr
Andrew [12]
Part a:

x + y = 55

y = x + 25

part b:

jackie runs 15 minutes every day.

part c:

it is not possible for jackie to spend 45 minutes a day dancing, since the time she spends dancing and running is 55 minutes, and we know that it takes 15 minutes to run

step-by-step explanation:

let's call and while jackie is dancing

let's call x while jackie is running

then we know that jackie runs and dances for a total of 55 minutes every day

this means that:

x + y = 55

we also know that jackie dances 25 minutes more than she runs.

this meant that:

y = x + 25

now we substitute the second equation in the first and solve for the variable x

x + x + 25 = 552x = 55-252x = 30x = 15

jackie runs 15 minutes every day.

now we find the value of the variable -y

15 + y = 55y = 55-15y = 40

note that it is not possible for jackie to spend 45 minutes a day dancing, since the time she spends dancing and running is 55 minutes, and we know that it takes 15 minutes to run

The diagram shows some land in the shape of a quadrilateral ABCD. AB = 6 km, AD = 5 km and CD = 12 km Angle BAC = 30 The land is
Goshia [24]

Answer:

£495 million

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out the total cost of the land, we need to first calculate the area of the land.

Step 1: Find area of right angled triangle ADC

AD = 5 km,

DC = 12 km

Area of the right triangle = ½*a*b

a = 5km

b = 12km

Area = ½*5*12

= 5*6

Area of ADC = 30 km²

Step 2: Find the area of triangle ABC

First, let's find the length of AC using Pythagorean theorem

AC² = AD² + DC²

AC² = 5² + 12² = 25 + 144

AC = √169

AC = 13km

Area of ∆ABC = ½*AB*AC*sin(30°)

= ½*6*13*0.5

= 3*13*0.5

Area of ∆ABC = 19.5 km²

Total area of the land = area of ∆ADC + ∆ABC = 30 + 19.5 = 49.5 km²

Step 3: calculate how much the land costs

If the land costs £10 million per km²,

Cost of 49.5 km² = 49.5 × 10 = £495 million

What is the exponential notation for 262,144
7nadin3 [17]

since there is always a decimal at the end of every value so :

           = 262144.0 

        you move the decimal backwards if there is no decimal between the value. you place the decimal after the 1st digit, you will also count the digits you have passed : 

         = 2.62144 X 10^5 

you passed 5 values so you put 5 in exponent form.
