It takes 40 min for a bus to travel the 36 miles from framingham to worcester. a car traveling from worcester to framingham moves 1.5 times as fast as the bus. if the car and the bus start moving towards each other simultaneously, after how many minutes will they meet?

The velocity of the bus is:

velocity (bus) = 36 miles / 40 min

velocity (bus) = 0.9 miles / min

Since the car is 1.5 times faster, so the velocity of the car is:

velocity (car) = 1.5 * 0.9 miles / min

velocity (car) = 1.35 miles / min

At the meeting point, the sum of the distance is equal to 36 miles. Therefore:

1.35 t + 0.9 t = 36

2.25 t = 36

t = 16 min

So they will meet after 16 minutes.

answer: since the question is talking about growth you have to use the growth formula which is inital amount (1 + growth)^time

step-by-step explanation:

the intial amount is 1200, the growth is 4.8, and the time is 7. plug those numbers into the equation, also i think you have to change 4.8 into a percent. but, i have forgotton how to do that. if this is a online class go on to the lesson.
