Alan leaves Los Angeles at 8:00 a. m. to drive to San Francisco, 400 mi away. He travels at a steady 46.0 mph . Beth leaves Los Angeles at 9:00 a. m. and drives a steady 55.0 mph .How long does the first to arrive have to wait for the second?

25 min, 48 sec

Explanation:

Alan:

t = d/v

  = 400 mi / 46 mph = 8.70 hr

So it took Alan 8.70 hrs; from 8 am, that's 4:42 pm that he arrives.

t = d/v

  = 400 mi / 55 mph = 7.27 hr

So it took Beth 7.27 hrs; from 9 am, that's 4:16:12 that she arrives.

4:42 - 4:16:12 = 25.8 minutes = 25 minutes, 48 sec

it doesn't. it was imagined up in the middle ages.

myth. it was once thought that animals, including cats and dogs, could only see in black and white. however, scientists have proven this to be a myth. in all animals, including humans, the perception of colour is determined by the presence of cells in the eye called cone photoreceptors.
