So for every gallon he can drive 50 miles. So I think the slope would be 50/-1
Recall: distance = rate times time.
To determine how far apart the two cars will be after four hours of travel, subtract the sum of the distances traveled from 200 mi:
Distance apart after four hours = 200 mi - (40 mph)(4 hrs) - (35 mph)(4 hrs)
= 200 mi - 160 mi - 140 mi = -100 mi
The wording of your question implies that the cars will not yet have met after four hours of travel. This negative result is absurd. Please ensure that you have copied down the problem completely and accurately.
3/8 of a foot = 3/8 x 12/1 or 4 1/2 inches
So our 1/2 inch grows by a factor of 9 because 4 1/2 ÷ 1/2 = 9 Think how many 1/2 dollars are in 4 1/2 dollars. (Answer is 9)
So our 8 4/9 in the catalog has to grow the same
8 4/9 x 9 = 8 4/9 x 9/1 = 76/9 x 9/1 or 76 inches which is 6 ft 4 inches.
(76 ÷12 = 6 r4)
Answer:
15 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be represented by a right angle triangle, shown in the diagram below.
The distance between Jin and Zoe is the hypotenuse of the triangle, x.
According to Pythagoras theorem,
hyp² = opp² + adj²
Where opp is the opposite side and adjacent is the adjacent side to any angle of consideration (which is not important in this case)
Hence:
x² = 12² + 9²
x² = 144 + 81
x² = 225
Finding the square root:
x = 15 ft
Jin and Zoe are 15 ft apart.
