The bascule bridge shown is opening from its horizontal position to its fully vertical position. So far, the bridge has lifted 3

5° in 21 seconds. At

The bascule bridge will take another <u>23 seconds</u> to reach its vertical position from its current lift position of 35°.

<h3>How is the time determined?</h3>

Using proportion or ratio, one can determine the additional seconds required by the bridge to achieve a vertical position.

The current lift position is 35°, which took 21 seconds.  This implies that the bridge's lift rate is <u>1.67° per second</u> (21/35°).  To lift to 90°, the bridge will take 54 seconds (1.67 x 90).  Since it has already taken 21 seconds, the bridge requires additional <u>23 seconds</u> (54 - 21) to complete the vertical lift.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

The vertical position of the bridge =  90°

The horizontal position =  0°

Current lift position = 35°

The time it took the bridge to lift 35° = 21 seconds

Therefore, the time it will take the bridge to reach its vertical position from its horizontal position of  90° is 54 seconds (21 x 90/35).

The additional time required by the bridge to reach its vertical position from its current position of 35° is 23 seconds (54 - 21).

Thus, it will take another <u>23 seconds</u> to reach its vertical position.

Hello!

If you divided by two then added 8 to reach 17, simply reverse the process, like so:

17 - 8 = 9

9 * 2 = 18

<u>Jordan's allowance is $18</u>

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!

There are 210210210 students in a twelfth grade high school class. 909090 of these students have at least one sister and 1051051
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

(1) The value of P (A) is 0.4286.

(2) The value of P (B) is 0.50.

(3) The value of P (A ∩ B) is 0.2143.

(4) The the value of P (B|A) is 0.50.

(5) The events <em>A</em> and <em>B</em> are independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The events are defined as follows:

<em>A</em> = a student in the class has a sister

<em>B</em> = a student has a brother

The information provided is:

<em>N</em> = 210

n (A) = 90

n (B) = 105

n (A ∩ B) = 45

The probability of an event <em>E</em> is the ratio of the favorable number of outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

P(E)=\frac{n(E)}{N}

The conditional probability of an event <em>X</em> provided that another event <em>Y</em> has already occurred is:

P(X|Y)=\frac{P(A\cap Y)}{P(Y)}

If the events <em>X</em> and <em>Y</em> are independent then,

P(X|Y)=P(X)

(1)

Compute the probability of event <em>A</em> as follows:

P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{N}\\\\=\frac{90}{210}\\\\=0.4286

The value of P (A) is 0.4286.

(2)

Compute the probability of event <em>B</em> as follows:

P(B)=\frac{n(B)}{N}\\\\=\frac{105}{210}\\\\=0.50

The value of P (B) is 0.50.

(3)

Compute the probability of event <em>A</em> and <em>B</em> as follows:

P(A\cap B)=\frac{n(A\cap B)}{N}\\\\=\frac{45}{210}\\\\=0.2143

The value of P (A ∩ B) is 0.2143.

(4)

Compute the probability of <em>B</em> given <em>A</em> as follows:

P(B|A)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)}\\\\=\frac{0.2143}{0.4286}\\\\=0.50

The the value of P (B|A) is 0.50.

(5)

The value of P (B|A) = 0.50 = P (B).

Thus, the events <em>A</em> and <em>B</em> are independent.

Two trains are 210 miles apart, and their speeds differ by 17 mph. Find the speed of each train if they are traveling toward eac
Marizza181 [45]
V1 - velocity first train
v2 - velocity second train
v2 > v1

v2 - v1 = 17 mph

We know, that: 
s_1+s_2=210 \ [miles] \\ \\ t_1=t_2=2h

So:

v_1=\dfrac{s_1}{t_1}=\dfrac{s_1}{2} \\ \\ v_2=\dfrac{s_2}{t_2}=\dfrac{s_2}{2} \\ \\ \\ v_1+v_2= \dfrac{s_1}{2}+\dfrac{s_2}{2} \\ \\ v_1+v_2= \dfrac{s_1+s_2}{2} \\ \\  v_1+v_2= \dfrac{210}{2}=105

NOw we've got simple system of equations:

+\begin{cases} v_2-v_1=17 \\ v_2+v_1=105\end{cases} \\ \\ 2v_2=122 \qquad /:2 \\ \\ v_2=61 \qquad [mph] \\ \\ v_2-v_1=17 \\ \\ 61-v_1=17 \\ \\ v_1=44

Velocities of these trains are  61mph  and 44mph

Valentin [98]

$820.02

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the Taylor family had cash receipts of $876.16 and their excess of cash receipts above cash payments was $56.14.

The total cash payments for the month will be calculated as:

= $876.16 - $56.14

= $820.02
