Ricardo and John start swimming from the same location. Ricardo starts 15 seconds before John and
swims at a rate of 3 feet per second. John swims at a rate of 4 feet per second in the same direction as
Ricardo. Which equation could you solve to find how long it will take John to catch up with Ricardo?
Does anyone know the answer?

Ricardo And John Start Swimming From The Same Location. Ricardo Starts 15 Seconds Before John Andswims

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

t = (t₁ · vr)/ (vj - vr) = 45 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial time from Ricardo  t₁ = 15 seconds, Ricardo's velocity (speed) vr = 3 ft/s,

John's velocity (speed) vj = 4 ft/s

Requested time when John catch Ricardo t = ?

During 15 seconds, Ricardo moved away

S = vr · t₁ = 3 ft/s · 15 s = 45 feet.

From that moment, the same time runs for both of them

Ricardo's path is S₁ = vr · t  and John's path is S₂ = vj · t

S + S₁ = S₂ =>  S = S₂ - S₁  => 45 = vj · t - vr · t  

When we draw t we get:

t ( vj - vr) = 45   t = 45 / (vj - vr) = 45 / (4 - 3) = 45 / 1 = 45 seconds

t = 45 seconds

S₁ = vr · t = 3 · 45 = 135 ft

S₂ = vj · t = 4 · 45 = 180 ft

Calculate the marked price (original price) if

a. After 25% discount, the price of an article is Rs 7500,


please with explanation and calculation the answer should be Rs 10 000

Answers

To get the original price we are going to;

1) Subtract the discount percentage from 100 to get the original price percentage.

100 - 25 = 75 %

2) Now we are going to multiply the discounted price by 100.

7500 x 100 = 750,000

3) Now we are going to divide the discounted price by the original price percentage.

750,000 / 75 = 10,000

Therefore the original price is Rs 10,000

a man has been driving a second hand car for the past four years. over these four years he managed to save 16% as a deposit of the price of the brand new car he wants to buy. the price of the new car is 750 000... calculate the amount he saved for the deposit​

Answers

Answer:

$120,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Provided that  

The price of the new car is $750,000

And, the saving percent is 16%

We need to calculate out the saving amount for the deposit

Therefore, the saving amount is

= $750,000 × 16%

= $120,000

Basically we multiply these two things to each other in order to get the saving amount

Write True or False. You can use the measures of the angles formed by two lines and a transversal to determine whether the two lines are parallel.

Answers

Answer:

I think that the answer is true (explanation might not be 100% accurate)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that for 2 lines to be parallel, they have to never intersect at any point, meaning they both have to be straight and "facing" the same way. If either line has a tilt/angle of any sort, then they are not parallel.

A right circular cone has a radius of 6 inches and a slant length of 10 inches. A right cylinder has a radius of 8 inches and a height of 12 inches. How many cones full of water are needed to fill the cylinder

Answers

Answer:

6.4  cones full of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Radius of cone= 6inches

Slant height= 10 inches

Volume of cone= 1/3πr^2h

V= 1/3*3.142*6^2*10

V=  1/3*3.142*36*10

V=  1/3*1131.12

V= 377.04 cubic inches

Radius of right cylinder= 8 inches

Height= 12 inches

Volume of cylinder= πr^2h

Volume= 3.142*8^2*12

Volume= 3.142*64*12

Volume=2413.056 cubic inches

Hence the number of cone full of water needed to fill the cylinder is

=Volume of cylinder/volume of cone

=2413.056/377.04

=6.4  cones full of water
