Home is 0.6 miles away from the store

How to solve such time related questions?

The key concept for solving such questions is the relationship between speed, distance and time.

The relationship between them is Distance = Speed x Time

Given:-

Total time taken by girl to complete the trip = 15 minutes = \frac{1}{4} hours

Speed while riding going = 6 miles per hour

Speed while coming back = 4 miles per hour

Total time taken by girl  =

Time taken while going +   Time taken while coming back      - (1)

  Let x be distance from home to store

       \frac{x}{6} =  Time taken while going

\frac{x}{4} = Time taken while coming back

    Substituting in (1) we get

      \frac{1}{4} =  \frac{x}{6} + \frac{x}{4}

      \frac{1}{4} =  \frac{2x + 3x}{12}

       \frac{1}{4} =  \frac{5x}{12}

      x= \frac{12}{20}

    x = 0.6 miles

Thus home is 0.6 miles away from the store

leva [86]

Answer: Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

First we assign a name to the events:

Event S: a customer buys socks

Event H: a customer buys shoes.

We know that :

P (S) = 0.15

We also know that the probability of S given that H occurs is:

P(S|H) =\frac{P(S\ and\ H)}{P(H)}=0.20

If two events S and H are independent then:

P (S) * P (H) = P (S\ and\ H)

This mean that if two events S and H are independent then:

P(S|H) =\frac{P(S)*P(H))}{P(H)}

P(S|H) =P(S)

We know that:

P(S|H) =0.20  and P (S) = 0.15

0.20\neq 0.15

This means that S and H events are dependent.

The answer is the option B

Evaluate the power.

4 - y - 5 = 0

Calculate the sum or difference.

-1 - y = 0

Move constant to the right side and change its sign. 

-y = 1

Change the signs on both sides of the equation.

y = -1
