You can put this solution on YOUR website!--- in 1 1/4 [miles] hour
I'll assume you mean 1 1/4 hours.
------------------------------------
m/h=X/h
(2 5/8)/(1 1/4)=X/(4 2/5)
(21/8)/(5/4)=X/(22/5)
21/8*4/5=X*5/22
84/40=5X/22 CROSS MULTIPLY.
5X*40=84*22
200X=1,848
X=1,848/200
X=231/25

X=48 IS THE NUMBER OF THE LEFT HAND PAGE.
48+1=49 IS THE NUMBER OF THE RIGHT HAND PAGE. pROOF:
48*49=2352

You can put this solution on YOUR website!D=RT
TRAIN A: 230=(R-8)T
T=230/(R-8)
TRAIN B: 270=RT
T=270/R
230/(R-8)=270/R CROSS MULTIPLY.
270(R-8)=230R
270R-2,160=230R
270R-230R=2,160
40R=2,160
R=2,160/40
54 MPH FOR TRAIN B.
PROOF:
230/(54-8)=270/54
230/46=270/54

You can put this solution on YOUR website!D=RT
TRAIN A: 230=(R-8)T
T=230/(5-8)
TRAIN B: 270=RT
T=270/R
230/(R-8)=270/R CROSS MULTIPLY.
270(R-8)=230R
270R-2,160=230R
270R-230R=2,160
40R=2,160
R=2,160/40

L=X
W=7
P=2L+2W
32=2X+2*7
32=2X+14
2X=32-14

Linear-systems/328449: Trains A and B are traveling in the same direction on parallel tracks. Train A is traveling at 40 miles per hour and train B is traveling at 48 miles per hour. Train A passes a station at 3:10 A.M. If train B passes the same station at 3:25 A.M, at what time will train B catch up to train A??
When will train B catch up to train A?? 1 solutions
Answer 235402 by checkley77(12569) on 2010-08-03 20:12:19 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!d=rt
Train a: d=40t
Train b: d=48(t-.25)
40t=48(t-.25)
40t=48t-12
40t-48t=-12
-8=-12
t=-12/-8
t=1.5 hours after 3:10 they will meet.
Proof:
40*1.5=48(1.5-.25)
60=48*1.25
60=60

Answer 235393 by checkley77(12569) on 2010-08-03 19:39:58 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!D=RT
FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE TRIP;
76=RT
T=76/R
FOR THE SECOND PART OF THE TRIP:
2=(R-6)T
T=2/(R-6)
76/R+2/(R-6)=3
(76(R-6)+2R)/R(R-6)=3
(76R-456+2R)/(R^2-6R)=3
(78R-456)/(R^2-6R)=3 CROSS MULTIPLY.
78R-456=3(R^2-6R)
78R-456=3R^2-18R
3R^2-18R-78R+456=0
3R^2-96R+456=0
3(R^2-32R+152)=0

R=(32+-SQRT(32^2-4*1*152])/2*1
R=(32+-SQRT[1,024-608])/2
R=(32+-SQRT416)/2
R=(32+-20.396)/2
R=(32+20.396)/2
R=52.396/2
R=26.198 MPH. ANS.
PROOF:
76/26.198+2/(26.198-6)=3
2.9+2/20.198=3
2.9+.1=3
3=3
