Towns A and B are 400 miles apart. If a train leaves A in the direction of B at 50 miles per hour, how long will it take before that train meets another train, going from B to A,
at a speed of 30 miles per hour?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: from A :50/hour. *x(hour)
From B : 30/hour *x(hour)
50 *x +30 *x =400
80 *x=400
x=5(hour)
Then the train from A will make 50 *5=250 miles
(These is fisik)

A map has a scale of 1 cm : 20 km. Two cities are 2.5 cm apart on the map. To the nearest tenth of a kilometer, what is the actual distance corresponding to the map distance?A. 70 km

B. 52.5 km

C. 50 km

D. 150 km

Answers

Answer:

C. 50 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale on the map is,

1 cm : 20 km,

That is, the ratio of the scaled distance and actual distance = (1)/(20)

Let x be the actual distance between the two cities which are 2.5 cm apart on the map,

So, the ratio of scaled distance and actual distance = (2.5)/(x)

\implies (1)/(20)=(2.5)/(x)

x=20* 2.5

x=50

Hence, the actual distance between the cities is 50 km.

Option 'C' is correct.

so just use the rule of 3 simple 

1 cm -------- 20 km 
2,5 cm ----- x km 
----------------------------

 x = 2,5 *20/1 = 50 km

x = 50 km so choice C. is righ,correct sure 

A movie theater has 24 screens. The ratio of action films tp other films currently showing on all screens 1:2. How many action films are currently showing?

Answers

Answer: Currently 8 action films are being shown

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Ratio of action film to other films = 1:2

which means 1 action movie would be shown for every 2 other films

Total  ratio =  1+2 = 3

Step 2

Number of action films shown = ratio of action film/ total ratio  x 24 screens

= 1/3 x 24 = 8

Number of other films shown = ratio of other films/ total ratio  x 24 screens

= 2/3 x 24 = 16

Currently 8 action films and 16 other films are being shown

What is the equation of a line passing through the point (a, b) and having a slope of b?

Answers

From the slope form of a line;
(y-b)/(x-a) =b
y-b=bx-ab
y=bx-ab+b
y=bx-b(a-1)

Answer:

The equation is y-a= b(x-b)

Step-by-step explanation:

I use bold for the slope so you can differentiate the slope term b from the y coordinate value b.

The equation of a line passing through a specific point and having a specific slope can be obtained using the point slope form of a line :

y-y1=m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is your specific point.

So replacing your values, the point  (x1,y1) =(a,b) and m=b, in this equation we havE:

y-a= b(x-b)

That can be expressed in point slope form and explicit for as.

y = b(x-b) + a = bx -bb +a =

y= bx + (a -bb)

one person can paint a room in 5 hours and the other takes 8 hours working together how long will it take the two of them if they're working together please work the problem out and explain it to me

Answers

ok so find how much work each can do per hour

irst person is 5 hours to do all room
therefor
1 hour=1/5 room

2nd person takes 8 hours to do all room
therefor
1 hour=1/8 room

since working together, add times

1 hour=1/5+1/8
make denoms same
1hour=8/40+5/40=13/40

13/40 room times x hours=1 whole room
multiply both sides by 40/13 to cleaf raction (13/40 times 40/13=520/520=1)

xhours=40/13hours
xhours=3 and 1/13 hours

The mean weight of trucks traveling on a particular section of I-475 is not known. A state highway inspector needs an estimate of the population mean. He selects and weighs a random sample of 49 trucks and finds the mean weight is 15.8 tons. The population standard deviation is 3.8 tons. What is the 95% confidence interval for the population mean?

Answers

Answer:

(14.7 , 16.9)

Step-by-step explanation:

it is given that \bar{x}=15.8 tons

σ=3.8 tons

n=49

at 95% confidence level α=1-.95=0.05

z_(\alpha )/(2)=z_(0.05)/(2)=z_(0.025)\n

=1.96 ( from the standard table)

at 95% confidence level the coefficient interval for μ is

\bar{x}\pm z_(\alpha )/(2)* (\sigma )/(√(n))

15.8\pm 1.96* (3.8)/( √(49))

15.8\pm 1.1

(14.7, 16.9)

FIND MAGNITUDE AND DIRECTIONS OF TRANSLATIONS APPLIED ON A TRIANGLE. Question Linked below.

Answers

The three translations applied on the triangle, where the first element of each vector represents the magnitude of the translation, and the second element represents the direction of the translation.

To find the magnitude and direction of the translations applied on a triangle, we need to know the coordinates of the vertices of the original triangle and the coordinates of the vertices of the transformed triangle.

Let's say the coordinates of the original triangle are (x1, y1), (x2, y2), and (x3, y3), and the coordinates of the transformed triangle are (x1', y1'), (x2', y2'), and (x3', y3').

The magnitude of the translation can be found by calculating the distance between the corresponding vertices of the original and transformed triangles using the distance formula. For example, the magnitude of the translation from (x1, y1) to (x1', y1') is given by:

sqrt((x1' - x1)^2 + (y1' - y1)^2)

Similarly, we can find the magnitudes of the other two translations.

The direction of the translation can be found by calculating the angle between the line connecting the corresponding vertices of the original and transformed triangles and the x-axis. We can use the arctangent function to find this angle. For example, the direction of the translation from (x1, y1) to (x1', y1') is given by:

tan^-1((y1' - y1)/(x1' - x1))

Similarly, we can find the directions of the other two translations.

Once we have the magnitudes and directions of the translations, we can describe the transformation using vector notation. The vector of the translation is given by:

< magnitude1, direction1 >

< magnitude2, direction2 >

< magnitude3, direction3 >

This represents the three translations applied on the triangle, where the first element of each vector represents the magnitude of the translation, and the second element represents the direction of the translation.
