Answer:

  3.2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

When the second car passes the landmark, the first car is (2 h)(40 km/h) = 80 km in front of it.

The second car is traveling 65 -40 = 25 km/h faster, so will make up that 80 km distance in ...

  time = distance/speed

  = (80 km)/(25 km/h) = 3.2 h

So first you want to find how much the second car gains on the first car in one hour.

Since the second car travels 65 kph, but the first travels 40, we can just subtract 40 from 65 to find how much faster the second car is than the first.

65 - 40 = 25

So the second car is 25 kph faster than the first.

Since the first car had a 2 hour head start, we first want to calculate how far away the first car got from the sign before the second car reached the sign.

So just 2 hours * 40 kph, which gives you 80 kilometers.

So now we know the second car has to gain 80 km on the first car in order to overtake it.

Since the second car gains 25 km per hour on the first car, we can just divide 80 by 25.

80 / 25 = 16/5, or in decimal form 3.2.

So the second car will overtake the first car in 3.2 hours, or 192 minutes, which is also 3 hours and 12 minutes.

Find the mean and the MAD. [Note: Type your answers as decimal numbers, rounded to the nearest tenth.] 135, 160, 145, 155, 170,
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Mean = 151

MAD = 9.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

135, 160, 145, 155, 170, 150, 142

Mean = Σx / n

Mean = 1057 / 7

Mean = 151

Mean absolute DEVIATION (MAD) : Σ(x - μ) / n

[(135-151) + (160-151) + (145-151) + (155-151) + (170-151) + (150-151) + (142-151)] / 7

Mean absolute deviation = 9.14

A radio station ordered hats and coffee mugs to give away as prizes. A total of 1,000 of these items were ordered, and 3 times a
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The options are not shown, so i will answer in a general way.

Let's define the variables:

h = number of hats

m = number of mugs.

We know that a total of 1000 items were ordered, then:

h + m = 1000

We also know that we have 3 times more mugs than hats, this can be written as:

m = 3*h

Now we have the system of equations:

h + m = 1000

m = 3*h

To solve these, we usually start by isolating one of the variables in one equation and then replace that in the other equation, but in this case, we already have m isolated in the second equation, then we can replace that in the first equation to get:

h + m = 1000

h + (3*h) = 1000

Now we can solve this equation for h, and find the number of hats ordered.

4*h = 1000

h = 1000/4 = 250

There were 250 hats ordered.

Subtract to find the amount of tax paid:

1890 - 1800 = 90

Divide the amount of tax by the price of the computer:

90 / 1800 = 0.05

Multiply the decimal by 100:

0.05 x 100 = 5%

The tax rate is 5%
