They are 268 miles far apart after 4 hoursFurther explanation

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

$\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }$

$\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }$

a = acceleration ( m/s² )

v = final velocity ( m/s )

u = initial velocity ( m/s )

t = time taken ( s )

d = distance ( m )

Let us now tackle the problem !

Given :

v₁ = 30 mph due east

v₂ = 60 mph due south

t = 4 hours

Unknown :

displacement = d = ?

Solution :

$d_1 = v_1 \times t$

$d_1 = 30 ~ mph \times 4 ~ h$

$d_1 = \boxed {120 ~ miles}$

$d_2 = v_2 \times t$

$d_2 = 60 ~ mph \times 4 ~ h$

$d_2 = \boxed {240 ~ miles}$

d^2 = (d_1)^2 + (d_2)^2

d^2 = 120^2 + 240^2

d^2 = 72000

$d = \sqrt{72000}$

$d = 120\sqrt{5} ~ miles$

$d \approx \boxed {268 ~ miles}$

Carrie and brent leave home at the same time. carrie drives due east at a rate of 30 mph, while bren

Answer from: schnefai000

The Carrie and Brent are $\boxed{268{\text{ miles}}}$ apart from each other after 4 hours.

Further explanation:

The relationship between speed, distance and time can be expressed as follows,

$\boxed{{\text{Speed}} = \frac{{{\text{Distance}}}}{{{\text{Time}}}}}$

Given:

Carrie drives due east at a rate of $30{\text{ miles/hour}}.$

Brent drives due south at a rate of $60{\text{ miles/hour}}.$

Explanation:

Consider the distance covered by the Carrie as ${d_c}.$

The distance covered by the Carrie can be obtained as follows,

$\begin{aligned}30&= \frac{{{d_c}}}{4}\\{d_c} &= 4 \times 30\\{d_c}&= 120{\text{ miles}}\\\end{aligned}$

Consider the distance covered by the Brent as ${d_b}.$

The distance covered by the Brent can be obtained as follows,

$\begin{aligned}60&= \frac{{{d_b}}}{4} \hfill\\{d_b} &= 4 \times 60 \hfill\\{d_b} &= 240{\text{ miles}} \hfill\\\end{aligned}$

The Carrie and Brent are $\boxed{268{\text{ miles}}}$ apart from each other after 4 hours.

Answer from: Quest

answer: the answer is one

step-by-step explanation:

pemdas, in this situation there is no parenthesis or exponents so you go to multiplication, 1x1=1, then division 1/1= 1 then addition 1+1=2 then subtraction 2-1=1

Answer from: Quest

answer: expression= p+p*d%

price reduction + sale price = $625

sale price: $p+$p*d%

where d% is the percentage of discount

step-by-step explanation:

original price = p

price went down by $150 price reduction $p*d%

sale price= $ 475

therefore the price before sale is: $625

and the expression that shows the price before sale is: p+p*d%
