It will take 16hr 30min for Mrs. Smith to catch up.

<h3>To find how many hours will it take Mrs smith to catch up:</h3>

Let,

t + 3 = Time of Mr. Smith

t = Time of Mrs. Smith

v1 = 55 mph the speed of Mr. Smith

v2 = 65 mph the speed of Mrs. Smith

Formula: Distance = speed × time

v1 ( t + 3) = v2t

55 ( t + 3 ) = 65t

65t = 55t + 165

65t - 55t = 165

10t = 165

t = 16.5 hr

t = 16 hr 0.5 × 60 min

t = 16 hr 30 min

Therefore, it will take 16hr 30min for Mrs. Smith to catch up.

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

the 25% chance is wrong, it is actually 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the table of trials shown in the picture, it seems that the 25% chance is wrong. In the table, there are 10 trials and each one has 5 numbers generated, meaning there are a total of 50 numbers generated. Out of these 50 numbers, only 10 are the number 3. Since 3 is the only number that represents a three-point shot, that would make it a 20% (10 / 50) chance that Dane makes a three-point shot in a basketball game.

There is a balcony that forms part of a circle around a stage, and they need to put up a safety railing. How long of a railing d

alexandr1967 [171]

A sector is a part of a circle that is formed by two radii, and an arc. So that the length of the safety railing required is 31.4 feet.

A sector is a part of a circle that is formed by two radii, and an arc, thus forming a central angle.

Thus the required length of safety railing can be considered as the arc of the sector.

So that;

length of an arc = (θ / $360^{o}$ ) * 2 $\pi$ r

where θ is the measure of the central angle of the sector, and r is the radius of the sector.

From the given question, θ = 45°, and r = 40 feet.

So that,

length of the safety railing = (45° / $360^{o}$ ) * 2 * 3.14 * 40

= 0.125 * 2* 3.14* 40

length of safety railing = 31.4

Therefore, the length of the safety railing required is 31.4 feet.
