Answer:

At 5:00 p.m. the planes will be 1061.323 miles apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, I add a picture of the situation.

We know that speed is distance over time  ⇒

Speed=\frac{distance}{time} (I)

The first step to solve this exercise is to graph the situation. We can draw a right triangle which vertices will be ''Tulsa'', and the planes ''A'' and ''B'' at 5:00 p.m.

In order to know the measures of the sides, we are going to calculate them using the equation (I)

Plane A leaves Tulsa at 2:00 p.m.

Therefore, at 5:00 p.m. it will have flown 3 hours ⇒

300\frac{mi}{h}=\frac{distance}{3h} ⇒

distance=(300\frac{mi}{h}).(3h)

distance=900mi

At 5:00 p.m. the distance from the plane A to Tulsa is 900 mi

Plane B leaves Tulsa at 2:30 p.m.

Therefore, at 5:00 p.m. it will have flown 2.5 hours ⇒

225\frac{mi}{h}=\frac{distance}{2.5h}

distance=(225\frac{mi}{h}).(2.5h)

distance=562.5mi

At 5:00 p.m. the distance from the plane B to Tulsa is 562.5 mi

Finally, we can find the distance between the plane A and the plane B using the Pythagorean theorem :

(900mi)^{2}+(562.5mi)^{2}=(Distance_{A-B})^{2}

810000mi^{2}+316406.25mi^{2}=(Distance_{A-B})^{2}

(Distance_{A-B})^{2}=1126406.25mi^{2}

Distance_{A-B}=\sqrt{1126406.25mi^{2}}

Distance_{A-B}=1061.322877mi ≅ 1061.323mi

At 5:00 p.m. the planes will be 1061.323 miles apart.

What is the difference 7/78 - 3 1/4=
ZanzabumX [31]
     <span> here
7 7/8
= [ (8*7) + 7 ] / 8
= (56 + 7) / 8
=63 / 8

similarly,
3 1/4
=[ (4*3) + 1] / 4
= (12 + 1) / 4
= 13/4

----------------------------
now put the values
7 7/8 - 3 1/4
= 63/8 - 13/4
here, take LCM of 8 & 4 which is 8.
now,
[ (1*63) - (2 * 13) ] / 8
= (63 - 26) / 8
= 37/8
= 4 5/8........................[ here, divide 37 by 8 which gives reminder as 5 and divisible value as 4 ]</span>

A basketball player that shoots 80% from the free throw line attempts two free throws. The notation for conditional probability
taurus [48]

Answer:

P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here given that a basketball player that shoots 80% from the free throw line attempts two free throws.

If x is the no of shoots he makes (say) then we find that each throw is independent of the other.

In other words, because he made successful first attempt, his chances for second attempt will not change

Prob for success in each attempt remains the same as 0.80

Hence I throw is independent of II throw.

When A and B are independent,then we have

P(A/B) = P(A)

Hence answer is

P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)

Which equation using x to represent time best represents the floor number of an elevator descending at a steady rate?
zepelin [54]
C. You'd be starting at a higher floor (positive number) and descending floors (negative number per x). If you assume x is time it's a little more logical and visual.
