Peter leaves Mitchell's house traveling 30 mph. Mitchell leaves 15 min later, trying to catch up to peter, going 40 mph. if they

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

45 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

At 30 mph for 1/4 hour, Peter has a 7.5 mile head start. After he leaves, Mitchell closes that gap at the rate of 40-30 = 10 miles per hour. It will take him ...

t = d/s

t = (7.5 mi)/(10 mi/h) = 0.75 h

to catch Peter.

Mitchell will catch Peter in 45 minutes.

__

<em>Alternate Solution</em>

Another way to look at it is that Mitchell's 10 mph advantage is 1/3 of Peter's speed, so it will take 1/(1/3) = 3 times the period of Peter's head start:

3 × 15 minutes = 45 minutes . . . for Mitchell to catch Peter

_____

You can write equations involving time and distance and see where the distances traveled become the same. You need to be careful choosing the time reference, since you're concerned with Mitchell's travel time. I personally prefer to work "head start" problems by considering the differences in time and speed, as above. This is where you end up using the equations approach, anyway.

Can you step by step solve 20x+12=4x-16

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

x = - $\frac{7}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

20x + 12 = 4x - 16 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

16x + 12 = - 16 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

16x = - 28 ( divide both sides by 16 )

x = $\frac{-28}{16}$ = - $\frac{7}{4}$ [ = - 1.75 ]

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:
Formula to calculate percentage are=
Winning match/total match *100
And copy paste formula of VLOOKUP in to desire cell formula bar.
Example in spreadsheet :
Winning match=A5
Total match=A6
Write formula in cell D3:
=(A5/A6)*100
And write formula of VLOOKUP into cell D4-D6 to retrieve data from desire cell.

Effectus [21]

The equation of the rotating light is an illustration of a secant function

The equation that represents the distance between the center of the circle and the light source is $d(t) = 40\sec(\frac{\pi}{3}t)$
