Question 133206: a train travelling at 50 mile per hour arrives at a station 100 miles away 20 minutes later than the schedule time . at what time should it travel to arrive exactlly on time?
2nd problem:
a carpet is fitted at a rectangular room that has dimensions 20ft by 16ft, leaving a margin around the carpet 3ft wide. find the area of margin around the carpet?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 100/50=100/x+1/3
100/x=100/50-1/3
100/x=2-1/3
100/x=5/3 cross multiply.
5x=300
x=300/5
x=60 mph would get the train there on time.
-----------------------------------------------------
20*16=320 ft^2 is the area of the room.
area of the carpet:
(20-3*2)(16-3*2) each dimension has 2 3 feet wide edges.
(20-6)(16-6)=14*10=140 ft^2 is the area of the carpet.
320-140=180 ft^2 is the area of the margin.
