On the first day of travel, a driver was going at a speed of 40 mph. The next day, he increased the speed to 60 mph. If he drove 2 more hours on the first day and traveled 20 more miles, find the total distance traveled in the two days.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

380

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a bit nasty. It depends on how you read the 20 miles more and what you do with it. The best and most careful way to do it is do it a long way setting up the two equations carefully.

Second day

Let the time travelled = t

Let the speed travelled = 60 mph

d2 = 60*t

First Day

40*(t + 2) = d1

but d1 = d2 + 20 because he travelled 20 miles further on d1

40 * (t + 2) = d2 + 20

d2 however = 60*t

40*(t+2 ) = 60*t + 20          Remove the brackets

40t + 80 = 60t + 20           Subtract 20 from both sides

40t + 60 = 60t                   Subtract 40t from both sides

60 = 20*t                           Divide by 20

t = 60/20

t = 3 hours.

Day 2 = 60 + t = 180

Day 1 = 40*5  = 200

Total distance = 380

Where did that 20 miles go? It was just an observation about the difference in distance travelled between the 2 days.

Answer 2

The total distance the driver traveled in the two days is 260 miles

From the question, on the first day, the driver was going as a speed of 40 mph.

Let s be speed

∴ [tex]s_{1}= 40mph[/tex]

On the second day, he increased the speed to 60 mph

∴ [tex]s_{2}= 60mph[/tex]

From the statement- If he drove 2 more hours on the first day

Let time be t

Then

[tex]t_{1}= t_{2} + 2[/tex] hrs

and traveled 20 more miles

Let d be distance  

Then,

[tex]d_{1}= d_{2} + 20[/tex] miles

From the formula

Distance = Speed × Time

Then,

[tex]d = s \times t[/tex]

∴ [tex]d_{1} = s_{1} \times t_{1}[/tex]

From above,

[tex]d_{1}= d_{2}+20[/tex] miles

[tex]s_{1}= 40mph[/tex]

[tex]t_{1}= t_{2} + 2[/tex] hrs

Putting these into

[tex]d_{1} = s_{1} \times t_{1}[/tex]

[tex]d_{2} + 20 = 40\times (t_{2}+2)[/tex] ...... (1)

But,

[tex]Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed}[/tex]

∴ [tex]t_{2}= \frac{d_{2} }{s_{2} }[/tex]

From above, [tex]s_{2}= 60mph[/tex]

∴ [tex]t_{2}= \frac{d_{2} }{60}[/tex]

Put this into equation (1)

[tex]d_{2} + 20 = 40\times (t_{2}+2)[/tex]

[tex]d_{2} + 20 = 40\times (\frac{d_{2}}{60} +2)[/tex]

[tex]d_{2} + 20 = \frac{2}{3}d_{2} +80\\d_{2} = \frac{2}{3}d_{2} +80-20\\d_{2} = \frac{2}{3}d_{2} +60[/tex]

Multiply through by 3

[tex]3\times d_{2} = 3\times \frac{2}{3}d_{2} +3 \times 60\\3d_{2} = 2d_{2} + 120\\3d_{2} -2d_{2} = 120[/tex]

∴ [tex]d_{2} = 120[/tex] miles

∴The distance traveled on the second day is 120 miles

For the distance traveled on the first day,

Substitute [tex]d_{2}[/tex] into the equation

[tex]d_{1}= d_{2}+20[/tex] miles

∴ [tex]d_{1}= 120+20[/tex]

[tex]d_{1}= 140[/tex] miles

∴ The distance traveled on the first day is 140 miles

The total distance traveled in the two days = [tex]d_{1} + d_{2}[/tex]

The total distance traveled in the two days = 120 miles + 140 miles

The total distance traveled in the two days = 260 miles

Hence, the total distance the driver traveled in the two days is 260 miles

Answers

Before you start, please make a title for your Stem & Leaf plot.

1) Make two columns; Stem and Leaf.

2) Under "Stem" list the following whole numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Notice that each number will correspond to each number you gave us.

3) Under "Leaf":

Only the last digits of the numbers go into the Leaf. If I number, for example, starts with 0, the remaining digits go into the Leaf.

4) Create a Key, which allows whoever is reading your plot to understand what the plot means. For example 2|4=24, since 2 is the stem and 4 is the leaf. We usually read a stem and leaf plot as the remaining digits go after the stem but if otherwise a Key is a must have when creating a plot.

The Key can be any set of numbers you have in your Stem and Leaf plot.

A patient is told to avoid caffeine for 8 to 12 hours before a blood test scheduled for 6 a.m. The blood test is reliable for up to 50 milligrams of caffeine in the bloodstream. The patient’s body metabolizes caffeine at a rate of 13% per hour.
a. At 10 p.m., the patient drinks a cup of coffee containing 150 milligrams of caffeine. Will the patient be ready for the blood test by 6 a.m.? Explain.
b. How many milligrams of caffeine could the patient have ingested at 7 p.m. and been ready for the blood test at 6 a.m.?

Answers

Using exponential functions, it is found that:

a) Since the amount of caffeine will be less than 50 mg, the patient will be ready for the blood test by 6 a.m.

b) The patient could have ingest 231 milligrams of caffeine.

A decaying exponential function is modeled by:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^t[/tex]

In which:

A(0) is the initial value.r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

In this problem:

Caffeine metabolize at a rate of 13% per hour, hence [tex]r = 0.13[/tex].

Then:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^t[/tex]

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1 - 0.13)^t[/tex]

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(0.87)^t[/tex]

Item a:

The coffee cup contains 150 milligrams of caffeine, hence [tex]A(0) = 150[/tex].

At 6 a.m., it is 8 hours after drinking the coffee, hence we have to find A(8).

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(0.87)^t[/tex]

[tex]A(8) = 150(0.87)^8[/tex]

[tex]A(8) = 49.2[/tex]

Since the amount of caffeine will be less than 50 mg, the patient will be ready for the blood test by 6 a.m.

Item b:

This A(0), considering A(11) = 50, hence:

[tex]50 = A(0)(0.87)^{11}[/tex]

[tex]A(0) = \frac{50}{(0.87)^{11}}[/tex]

[tex]A(0) = 231[/tex]

The patient could have ingest 231 milligrams of caffeine.

If seven tickets cost 385, then 1 ticket costs one-seventh of that amount, so we divide it by 7 to see how much one ticket costs.

385/7 = 55

One ticket is $55. To find out how much 4 tickets cost, multiply 55, the price of one ticket, by 4.

Answers

Answer: The answer is X = 4.

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& roots)

Multiplications

Divisions

Additions

Subtractions

First, subtract 6x and 8 from both sides of the equation:

-7x (-6x) + 8 (-8) = 6x (-6x) - 44 (-8)

-7x - 6x = -44 - 8

-13x = -52

Next, fully isolate the variable, x, by dividing -13 from both sides of the equation:

(-13x)/-13 = (-52)/-13

x = -52/-13 = 4

x = 4 is your answer.
