The rate at which the ice changes is -3/8 lb per hr

<h3>What is the rate the ice changes?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Changes =1 3/4 lb to 1/4 lb

Time = 1/4 hr.

The rate the ice changes is calculated as:

Rate = Change/Time

So, we have

Rate = (1/4 lb - 1 3/4 lb)/(1/4 hr)

Evaluate the difference

Rate = (-1 1/2 lb)/(1/4 hr)

Evaluate the quotient

Rate = -3/8 lb per hr

Hence, the rate at which the ice changes is -3/8 lb per hr

The length of the hypotenuse of a 30-60 -90 triangle is 14 units. what is the length of the short leg

kifflom [539]

Recall that the short leg is the side opposite the 30 degrees angle. And the ratio of the short leg to the hypotenuse is 1:2.

Let the length of the short leg be x, then,

$\cfrac{x}{14}=\cfrac{1}{2}\\ \\\Rightarrow2x=14\\ \\\Rightarrow x=\cfrac{14}{2}=7$

Train a is traveling at 30 mph faster than train b. If train a travels 350 miles in the same amount of time that train b travels

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

20 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let speed of Train a = Va mph

Let speed of Train b = Vb mph

Va = Vb + 30

Let time taken for Train a = Ta

Let time taken for Train b = Tb

time taken = distance travelled/speed

Ta = 350/Va = 350/(Vb+30)

Tb = 140/Vb

But they both travel in the same amount of time.

So, Ta = Tb

$\frac{350}{v_{b} + 30}=\frac{140}{v_{b}}$

Cross multiply

$350v_{b} = 140(v_{b} + 30)\\\\350v_{b} = 140v_{b} + 4200\\\\350v_{b} -140v_{b} = 4200\\\\210v_{b} = 4200$

Divide both sides by 210

$\frac{210v_{b} }{210} \frac{4200}{210} \\\\v_{b} = 20 mph$
