<h3>What is speed?</h3>

The distance covered by the particle or the body in an hour is called speed. It is a scalar quantity. It is the ratio of distance to time.

We know that the speed formula

Speed = Distance/Time

John and Elijah are both driving from New York City to Richmond.

John leaves at 7:20 and averages 60 mph (miles per hour) on the way.

Elijah leaves at 7:30 and averages 62 mph on the way.

The situation is modeled by this system, where x is the number of hours after Elijah leaves and y is the distance each will travel.

y = 60x + 10 ...1

y = 62x ...2

The time is taken by Elijah to cross John will be

62x = 60x + 10

2x = 10

x = 5 hours

The distance traveled in 5 hours will be

y = 62 (5)

y = 310 miles

Elijah will pass John after 5 hours, and they each will have traveled 310 miles.

Then the correct option is C.

A box contains 3 coins. One coin has 2 heads and the other two are fair. A coin is chosen at random from the box and flipped. If

Blababa [14]

Answer: Our required probability is $\dfrac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of coins = 3

Number of coin has 2 heads = 1

Number of fair coins = 2

Probability of getting one of the coin among 3 = $\dfrac{1}{3}$

So, Probability of getting head from fair coin = $\dfrac{1}{2}$

Probability of getting head from baised coin = 1

Using "Bayes theorem" we will find the probability that it is the two headed coin is given by

$\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{3}\times 1}{\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{3}\times 1}\\\\=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{3}}{\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\\=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{3}}{\dfrac{2}{3}}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Hence, our required probability is $\dfrac{1}{2}$

No, the answer is not $\dfrac{1}{3}$

Okay well 7%, changes into 7/100=0.07 and there are 5 years and you have the beginning amount of 400. So 400×0.07=28. 28×5= 140. So add 140 to the be amount, 400+140=$540. Answer is $540.
