A train travels a distance of 120 km at a constant speed of V kmh 1. If the speed
is reduced by 10kmh), then the time taken to the journey is increased by one
hour. Find the constant speed V of train.


Help me please

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

V = 40 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance = 120 km

Constant speed of train = V km/h

⇒ [tex]Time \: taken \: by \: train = \frac{Distance}{Speed} = \frac{120}{V} \: hr[/tex]

Its given that if speed is reduced by 10 km/h , the time taken by train increases by 1 hour. BUT THE DISTANCE REMAINS SAME. So,

[tex]Speed \times Time = Distance[/tex]

[tex]=> (V - 10)(\frac{120}{V} + 1) = 120[/tex]

[tex]=> 120 + V - \frac{1200}{V} - 10 = 120[/tex]

[tex]=> V - \frac{1200}{V} - 10 = 0[/tex]

[tex]=> \frac{V^2 - 1200 - 10V}{V} = 0[/tex]

[tex]=> V^2 - 10V - 1200 = 0[/tex]

Factorise the quadratic equation.

[tex]=> V^2 - 40V + 30V - 1200[/tex]

[tex]=> V(V - 40) + 30(V - 40)[/tex]

[tex]=> (V - 40)(V + 30)[/tex]

[tex]=> V = 40 \: (or) \: -30[/tex]

Speed can't be negative. So , V = 40 km/h

Kinyua spent 1/4 of his net salary on school fees. He spent 1/4 of the remainder on electricity and water bills. He spent 1/9 of what remained on transport. If he finally has she. 8400 calculate his total salary

Answers

Answer:

Let his net salary = x.

He spent 1/4th of x on School fees

Remainder = 1-1/4 = 3x/4

He spent 1/4th THE REMAINDER on Electricity and Water Bils

1/4 of remainder (3x/4) = 1/4 x 3x/4 = 3x/16

He spent 3x/16 of this salary on Electricity and Water Bills... We should subtract this to know our current value or cash at hand

New Remainder = 3x/4 - 3x/16

= 9x/16.

He spent 1/9th OF WHAT REMAINED ON TRANSPORT.

1/9 x 9x/16

=x/16

New Remainder

= 9x/16 - x/16

=x/2.

If he finally had 8,400

Then

x/2=8,400

x=2x8,400

x= 16,800.

This answer is Correct. You can check it by using our x as 16,800 and solve from the start... You'll arrive at 8400 as your remainder. Have a great day!!!

Answers

Answer:

14.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Being that there is 4 red, 2 blue, 6 green, 8 white, that means there is 20 marbles, with 8 success, 8/20. Since the marble is not replaced, that drops it to 7/19 for the second pull. Multiply these together and you get 14.7%.

(8/20)*(7/19)=.147

Answers

Answer:

116

Step-by-step explanation:

a line is 180 degrees so subtract 64 and you get 116, that is your angle

Given: these two lines are parrallel cut by a transversal, 4 is 64 degrees

because 4 is given we know 6 is also 64 becasue they are alternative interior angles

all straight lines measure to 180 degrees so 3 and 5 become 116 because 180-64=116 (we also know these lines are parallel becasue 4 and 5 are supplementary, they add up to 180 as well.)

becasue 5 is 116 8 needs to be 64 and becasue 8 is 64 to equal 180 7 needs to be 116 (again, they need to add up to 180 becasue they are a straight line)

can someone explain, i'm literally sweating trying to figure it out

Answers

Answer:

54 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

So a fun fact is that the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite two interior angles (at least within triangles).

Given this, set these values equal to each other to get the value of a.

d = a + b

2a = (a+10)+44

2a = a + 54

a = 54

The measure of the exterior angle is 54 degrees.

While reading a book, Shara
estimates that she is 75%
finished. If she has read 216
pages, then how long is the

Answers

Answer:

288 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Set up a fraction (Since 75% is 216, 100% is x. We don't need the percent (%).)

[tex]\frac{216}{75} = \frac{x}{100}\\\\[/tex]

Step 2: Solve; Divide the given values (All we are doing is finding what is between those values.)

[tex]\frac{216}{75}\\\\216 \div 75\\\\= 2.88[/tex]

Step 3: Multiply the result to the value (Now we multiply the result to 100 because that would make it equal.)

[tex]100\\\\2.88 \times 100\\\\= 288[/tex]

Therefore, the book is 288 pages long.
