Nicolas drove 500km from Windsor to Peterborough 5(1/2)hours. He drove part of the way at 100km/h and the rest of the way at 80km/h. How far did he drive at each speed?



Let x - The distance travelled at 100km/h



Let y - the distance travelled at 80km/h

Answers

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we can set up a system of equations based on the given information.

Let's use x to represent the distance traveled at 100 km/h and y to represent the distance traveled at 80 km/h.

According to the problem, Nicolas drove a total distance of 500 km and took 5.5 hours.

We know that the time taken to travel a certain distance is equal to the distance divided by the speed.

So, we can write two equations based on the time and distance traveled at each speed:

Equation 1: x/100 + y/80 = 5.5 (time equation)

Equation 2: x + y = 500 (distance equation)

Now, we can solve this system of equations to find the values of x and y.

Multiplying Equation 1 by 400 to eliminate the fractions, we get:400(x/100) + 400(y/80) = 400(5.5)

4x + 5y = 2200

Next, we can use Equation 2:

x + y = 500

We can solve this system of equations using any method, such as substitution or elimination.

Let's solve it by elimination. Multiply Equation 2 by 4 to make the coefficients of x the same:4(x + y) = 4(500)

4x + 4y = 2000

Now, subtract the equation 4x + 4y = 2000 from the equation 4x + 5y = 2200:

4x + 5y - (4x + 4y) = 2200 - 2000

y = 200

Substitute the value of y back into Equation 2 to find x:

x + 200 = 500

x = 300

Therefore, Nicolas drove 300 km at 100 km/h and 200 km at 80 km/h.

Christina earned $510 working part-time at the movie theater. Of her paycheck, 1/ 4 pays for car insurance, 1/ 3 for gas, and 20% for miscellaneous expenses. The remaining amount of her paycheck is divided equally for entertainment and savings. How much does Christina spend each month on entertainment?

Answers

Answer:

$55.15

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 of 510 = 127.5

1/3 of 510 = 170

20% of 510 = 102

510-(127.7+102+170)=510-399.7=110.3

Exponents work the same way on bases that are _[blank A]_ as they do on bases that are numbers.

When a variable has an exponent, the exponent tells you how many times the variable is _[blank B]_ by itself.

In order to make a negative exponent positive, you must take the _[blank C]_ of the base.

A variable raised to the power of _[blank D]_ is always equal to 1.

Match each blank with the correct item that fills in that blank.

Jim rides the bus to and from school each day. A one-way trip is 8.12 kilometers. How many kilometers does he travel in 3 days?

Answers

Answer:

48.72 km in 3 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A one-way trip is 8.12 kilometers.

We need to find the distance he travel in 3 days.

The distance traveled by Jim in one day to the bus and from school = 2(8.12) =  16.24 km

Distance traveled in 3 days = 3(16.24)

= 48.72 km

Hence, he will cover 48.72 km in 3 days.

A bricklayer lays 1200 bricks in an average 8-hour day. How many bricks does he lay in a 40-hour week?

Answers

The answer is 6000 bricks.
40/8=5
5*1200=6000

The number of bricks that the bricklayer can lay in a 40-hour week is 6000 bricks.

Let the number of bricks that the bricklayer can lay in a 40-hour week be represented by x.

Based on the information given in the question, the equation to solve the question will be:

8/40 = 1200/x

Cross multiply

8 × x = 1200 × 40

x = (1200 × 40) / 8

x = 1200 × 5

x = 6000

Therefore, the number of bricks that the bricklayer can lay in a 40-hour week is 6000 bricks.

Write the equations of the line that passes through the point 4,3) and is perpendicular to the line y=2x−4 . Write the equation in slope-intercept form.

Answers

Answer:

        y = -¹/₂x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1

y = 2x − 4  ⇒   m₁ = 2

m₁m₂ = -1

2m₂ = -1

m₂ = -¹/₂

The Point-Slope form of equation of a line with slope of "m" and passing through point (x₁, y₁) is:  y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

m = -¹/₂

(4, 3)  ⇒  x₁ = 4,  y₁ = 3

So the equation in point-slope form:

                                                  y - 3 = -¹/₂(x - 4)

Therefore:

y - 3 = -¹/₂x + 2

y = -¹/₂x + 2 + 3

y = -¹/₂x + 5
