Rick and James live 285 miles apart. At the same time, they start driving toward each other on the same road. Rick’s constant rate is 40 mph. James’ is 55 mph. How long will it take them to meet? A. 3 hours
B. 4 hours
C. 5 hours
D. 6 hours

A. 3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

40 mph x 3 hours = 120 miles in 3 hours

55 mph x 3 hours = 165 miles in 3 hours

120 miles (in 3 hours) + 165 miles (in 3 hours) = 285 miles

30 units^2

step-by-step explanation:

area is l × w

the length is 3

and the width is 10

3 × 10= 30 units squared

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
