The speed of an object is its distance traveled per unit time

The average speed required for the remainder of the trip <u>55.5</u>

<u />

The reason the average speed value is correct is given as follows:

The known parameters;

The length of the first part of the trip, L = 218 mile

Duration of the time the sales person travels, t₁ = 2 hours and 15 minute

Average speed of travel, v₁ = 64 mph

The time at which the salesperson arrive at the destination, t₂ = 1 hour and 20 minutes

Required:

To find the average speed required for the remainder of the trip

Solution:

Distance traveled = Speed × Time

The distance traveled on the first part of the trip, <em>d₁ = v₁ × t₁</em>

(t₁ = 2 hours and 15 minute = 2.25 hours)

∴ d = 64 mph × 2.25 hours = 144 miles

The distance of the remainder part of the trip, d₂ = L - d₁

d₂ = 218 mile - 144 mile = 74 mile

The average speed required for the remainder of the trip, v₂, is given as follows;

v_2 = \dfrac{d_2}{t_2}

t₂ = 1 hour and 20 minutes = 1\frac{1}{3}  \ hour = \frac{4}{3}  \, hour

Therefore;

v_2 = \dfrac{74 \ mile}{1\frac{1}{3} \ hour} = 55.5 \ mph

With the units left out, we have;

<u>The average speed required for the remainder of the trip, v₂ = 55.5</u>

Petra was given 12 yards of fabric to make costumes for the school play if each costume requires 1 1/2 yards how many costumes c
solmaris [256]

Petra can make 8 costumes with 12 yards of fabric

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that Petra was given 12 yards of fabric to make costumes for the school play

Each costume requires 1\frac{1}{2} yards

<em><u>To find: number of costume Petra can make</u></em>

The number of costume Petra can make is calculated by dividing the total fabric she has by fabric needed for one costume

\text {number of costume Petra can make }=\frac{\text {total fabric she has }}{\text {fabric needed for one costume }}

Total fabric she has = 12 yards

Fabric needed for 1 costume = 1\frac{1}{2} = \frac{2 \times 1 + 1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} yards

Therefore,

\text {number of costume Petra can make }=\frac{12}{3 / 2}=\frac{12}{3} \times 2=8

Thus petra can make 8 costumes with 12 yards of fabric

A monk crossbred​ plants, which can have purple or white​ flowers, and obtain 769 plants with white flowers and 326 plants with
n200080 [17]

Answer:

The probability that a plant had white flowers is 0.70

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  

Number of plants with white flowers=769

Number of plants with purple flowers= 326

To Find:

The probability that a plant had white flowers is=?

Solution:

Total number of flowers plants = Number of plants with white flower + Number of plants with purple flowers

Total number of flowers plants = 769+ 326

Total number of flowers plants = 1095

Probability that the plant had white flowers  = \frac{769}{1095}

Probability that the plant had white flowers  =0.70

Probability that the plant had purple flowers  = \frac{326}{1095}

Probability that the plant had purple flowers  = 0.29

Answer:

  8. Louis

  9. Rose; Raymond

Step-by-step explanation:

8. An exponent represents the number of times the base appears as a factor in the product.

We use a coefficient to signify repeated addition: 3x means x+x+x.

We use an exponent to signify repeated multiplication. x³ means x·x·x.

So, the expression ...

  4^2\cdot 4^5\text{  means  }(4\cdot4)\cdot(4\cdot4\cdot4\cdot4\cdot4)

You can see that the factor 4 appears 7 times in the product, so would be represented in exponential form as ...

  4^2\cdot4^5=\boxed{4^7}

Louis has correctly observed this fact. In general, we see that multiplying powers of the same base causes those powers to be added.

__

9.

<u>Part A</u>. Rose is correct for the same reason as in problem 8.

  5^5 · 5^2 = 5^(5+2) = 5^7

<u>Part B</u>. Raymond is correct. We know that division cancels similar terms from the numerator, so ...

  \dfrac{7^9}{7^5}=\dfrac{7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7}{7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7}=7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7=7^{9-5}=7^4

__

The rules of exponents we're using here are ...

  (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

  (a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)
