Travel_Word_Problems/398038: a train travels 20 feet in 1/5 seconds, at the same speed how many feet will it travel in three seconds
1 solutions

Answer 282045 by mananth(12270) About Me  on 2011-01-21 22:17:30 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a train travels 20 feet in 1/5 seconds, at the same speed how many feet will it travel in three seconds
20 feet in 1/5 second
so in 1 second it will travel 5 times the distance 5*20=100feet
..
so in 3 seconds it will travel 300 feet


Geometry_Word_Problems/398013: A rectangular plot of ground having dimensions 21 ft by 24 ft is surrounded by a walk of uniform width. If the area of the walk is 424 ft2, what is its width?
1 solutions

Answer 282043 by mananth(12270) About Me  on 2011-01-21 22:13:55 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A rectangular plot of ground having dimensions 21 ft by 24 ft is surrounded by a walk of uniform width. If the area of the walk is 424 ft2, what is its width?
..

area of ground = 21*24=504 ft^2
...
area of walk = 424 ft^2
..
let width of walk be x
..
width of total area = 21+2x
length of total area = 24+2x
..
Area of total area = (21+2x)(24+2x)
Total Area = 504+90x+4x^2
..
4x^2+90x+504-504 = 424
4x^2+90x-424=0

Find the roots of the equation by quadratic formula
a= 4 , b =90 , c = -424 .
b^2-4ac=14884
x=%28-b%2B-sqrt%28b%5E2-4ac%29%29%2F%282a%29

x1=%28-b%2Bsqrt%28b%5E2-4ac%29%29%2F%282a%29
x1=%28-90%2Bsqrt%2814884%29%29%2F8%29%29
x1= 4
x2= negative so ignore
walk width = 4 feet

Geometry_Word_Problems/398015: A farmer plans to enclose a rectangular region, using part of his barn for one side and fencing for the other three sides. If the side parallel to the barn is to be twice the length of an adjacent side, and the area of the region is to be 98 ft2, how many feet of fencing should be purchased?

...
let the adjacent side be x ft.
the other side will be 2x
...
The area = L*W
Area = x*2x=2x^2
2x^2=98
x^2=49
x=7 feet
..
the three sides to be fenced will be x+x+2x=4x
x=7
so 7*4 = 28 feet of fencing will be required.

how do you this problem so can graph it 2x+y=1
..
2x+y=1
y=-2x+1
..
generate values for y from various values of x
x=0,y=1........(0,1)
y=0,x=1/2.......(1/2,0)
..
plot these points and draw the line graph.
...
check to see whether the slope is -2 from the graph.

When she returned against the wind, the flight took 7 hours. Find the plane's speed in still air and the distance traveled each way.
plane's speed = x mph
..
with wind speed = x+30
against wind = x-30
...
d=rt. d is same so equate the distance
5(x+30)=7(x-30)
5x+150=7x-210
7x-5x=210+150
2x=360

x= 180 mph speed in still air

Working together, two pipes can fill the tank in 2 hours and 6 minutes. Working alone, the larger pipe fills the tank in 4 hours less time than the smaller on. How long does the larger pipe take?
6 minutes=6/60 = 1/10 hours
both pipes 2 1/10 hours= 23/10 hours
they do 10/23 of the filling in 1 hour
.....
smaller pipe takes x hours
it does 1/x of filling in 1 hour
....
larger pipe takes x-4 hours
it does1/(x-4) of the job in 1 hour
...
1/x + 1/(x-4)= 10/23
LCD = x(x-4)
(x-4+x)/x(x-4)=10/23
cross ultiply
23(2x-4)=10x(x-4)
46x-92=10x^2-40x
10x^2-86x+92=0

5x^2-43x+46=0
solve using quadratic formula
Find the roots of the equation by quadratic formula
a= 5 , b = -43 , c =46
b^2-4ac= 929 .
x=%28-b%2B-sqrt%28b%5E2-4ac%29%29%2F%282a%29

x1=%28-b%2Bsqrt%28b%5E2-4ac%29%29%2F%282a%29
x1=%2843%2Bsqrt%28929%29%29%2F%2810%29
7.3 hours
...
x2=%28-b-sqrt%28b%5E2-4ac%29%29%2F%282a%29
x2= (43-sqrt(929))/(10)
x2=1.25 this is not possible since larger pipe takes four hours less.
So larger pipe takes 7.34-4 = 3.3 hours
