Ben starts walking along a path at 3 mi/h. One and a half hours after Ben leaves, his sister Amanda begins jogging along the same path at 7 mi/h. How long (in hours) will it be before Amanda catches up to Ben?



Enter the exact answer.
Hint: The distance formula is that distance = rate * time, so for example in one and a half hours, Ben has walked 3 * 1.5 miles.

Amanda catches up to Ben in ____________ hours.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1.125 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Ben's speed = 3 mi/hr

Time before Amanda starts = 1.5 hours

Amanda's speed = 7 mi/hr

Time before Amanda catches up with Ben

Recall :

Distance = speed * time

Distance already covered by Ben before Amanda starts :

(3 * 1.5) = 4.5

Hence, we can setup the equation :

Ben's distance = Amanda's distance

Let time taken = x

4.5 + 3x = 7x

4.5 = 7x - 3x

4.5 = 4x

x = 4.5 / 4

x = 1.125 hours

1.125 * 60 = 67. 5 minutes

Answers

Answer:

[tex]A=603.18\ cm^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a blade, r = 24 cm

The sweeping angle is 120°.

We need to find the total area cleaned at one sweep of the blade. The area of sector is given by :

[tex]A=\dfrac{\theta}{360}\times \pi r^2[/tex]

[tex]A=\dfrac{120}{360}\times \pi \times 24^2\\\\=603.18\ cm^2[/tex]

Answer:

They can buy up to 240 drinks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of drinks

The price of 1 drink is 75¢ = $0.75

The price of x drinks is 0.75x

The store gives a discount of $100.

The rice of x drinks is

0.75x - 100

The total price of the drinks must be less than or equal to $80.

0.75x - 100 ≤ 80

Add 100 to both sides.

0.75x ≤ 180

Divide both sides by 0.75

x ≤ 240

Answer: They can buy up to 240 drinks.

The amount of snowfall falling in a certain mountain range is normally distributed with a average of 170 inches, and a standard deviation of 20 inches. What is the probability a randomly selected year will have an average snofall above 200 inches

Answers

Answer:

0.0668 = 6.68% probability a randomly selected year will have an average snowfall above 200 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Normally distributed with a average of 170 inches, and a standard deviation of 20 inches.

This means that [tex]\mu = 170, \sigma = 20[/tex]

What is the probability a randomly selected year will have an average snowfall above 200 inches?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 200. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{200 - 170}{20}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.5[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.5[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9332.

1 - 0.9332 = 0.0668

0.0668 = 6.68% probability a randomly selected year will have an average snowfall above 200 inches.

Therefore this requires only just opinion and we don't have to do any actual calculations.

Does this seem like a great number of girls, a little number of girls, or a decent number of girls to you but if 1,300 babies were born, 5 of whom were females?

This is a small number of beautiful gals, in my honest opinion. We anticipate boys and girls to be produced about the very same frequency, thus I expect some half of them to be females if there are 1 300 newborns. You should have roughly 650 girls if 50% of the infants are girls, but now we only have five. That appears to me to be considerably low. which is your own opinion.

A person participates in a weekly office pool in which he has one chance in ten of winning the prize. If he participates for 5 weeks in succession, what is the probability of winning at least one prize.

Answers

The probability of winning at least one prize is 0.40951.

What is probability?

Probability is the likelihood that an event will occur.

The following information can be deduced:

P = probability of winning = 1/10

q = probability of not winning = 1- (1/10) = 9/10

x = no. of winning

then, p (x ≥ 1) = 1 - p (x < 1)

= 1 - p (x=0)

= 1 - ⁵C₀ (1/10)^⁰ (9/10)^(5-0)

= 1 - (1) (1) (9/10)^5

=  1 - (9/10)^5

= 1 - 0.59049

= 0.40951

Therefore, the probability is 0.40951.

if you continue adding on fractions according to this pattern, when will you reach a sum of 2?​

Answers

Answer: You will never reach a sum of 2. You would need infinitely many terms to sum up.

============================================================

Explanation:

We have this sequence

1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, ...

which is geometric with the following properties

a = first term = 1r = common ratio = 1/2 = 0.5

Notice how we multiply each term by 1/2 to get the next term. Eg: (1/4)*(1/2) = 1/8 or (1/16)*(1/2) = 1/32.

Since r = 0.5 is between -1 and 1, i.e. -1 < r < 1 is true, this means that adding infinite terms of this form will get us to approach some finite sum which we'll call S. This is because the new terms added on get smaller and smaller.

That infinite sum is

S = a/(1-r)

S = 1/(1-0.5)

S = 1/0.5

S = 2

So if we keep going with that pattern 1+1/2+1/4+... and do so forever, then we'll reach a sum of 2. However, we cannot go on forever since it's asking when we'll reach that specific sum. In other words, your teacher wants finitely many terms to be added.

In short, we'll never actually reach the sum 2 itself. We'll just get closer and closer.

Here's a list of partial sums

1+1/2 = 1.51+1/2+1/4 = 1.751+1/2+1/4+1/8 = 1.8751+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16 = 1.93751+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32 = 1.968751+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64 = 1.9843751+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64+1/128 = 1.99218751+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64+1/128+1/256 = 1.99609375

We can see that we're getting closer to 2, but we'll never actually get there. We'd need to add infinitely many terms to get to exactly 2.

If you pick a card at random from a well shuffled deck, what is the probability that you get an even card or a spade

Answers

Answer:

The probability that you get an even card or a spade is P = 0.596

Step-by-step explanation:

In a deck of 52 cards, all the cards have the exact same probability of being drawn.

So, the probability of drawing an even card of a spade, will be equal to the quotient between the number of even cards and spades, and the total number of cards (52).

First, let's found the number of even cards and spades.

There are 13 spades.

For each set, the even cards are:

{2. 4, 6, 8, 10}

(not counting the queen as a "12")

Then for each set, there are 6 even cards.

(there are four sets but we already counted the 6 even cards from the spade set, so we ignore that set)

Then there are 3 sets with 6 even cards each, there are:

3*6 = 18 even cards

So we have:

13 spades + 18 even cards = 31 cards that meet the condition.

The probability is then:

P = 31/52 = 0.596

The probability that you get an even card or a spade is P = 0.596
