total distance travelled=72+69=141

time taken in hours for journey= (48/60)h + (69/60)= 1.95 h

average speed=141km/1.95h= 72.3km/h (3 sf)

think about the journey as two parts and the total journey.

first part:

first you need to find the speed of the first part but you need to convert 48mins to hours which is 0.8 hours.

speed = 72 ÷ 0.8 = 90km/h.

second part:

then you need to find the time it took to complete the second part of the journey.

time = distance/speed = 69 ÷ 60 = 1.15hours

total:

then you can find the total distance for both parts of the journey by doing 72km + 69km which is 141km.

the total time would be 0.8 hours + 1.15 hours which is 1.95 hours.

now you have the total distance and time so you can find the average speed for the whole journey.

speed = distance ÷ time

= 141 ÷ 1.95

= 72.307692307.... km/h

(you can round your answer to 72.3km/h)

An 18 in long rebar is driven into the ground until it touches an underground pipe. A backsight to a benchmark with an elevation

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

398.71 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of rebar = 18 inches = 1.5 ft

Elevation = 393.66 ft

Reading of backsight on Benchmark= 7.56 ft

Rod reading = 1.10 ft

First step : determine height of Instrument been used

= elevation + backsight on Benchmark

= 393.66 + 7.56 = 401.22 ft

Elevation of top of rebar

= 401.22 - 1.01 = 400.21 ft

Finally determine the elevation of the top of the pipe

= 400.21 - length of Bar

= 400.21 - 1.5 = 398.71 ft

Researchers estimate that 21.5% of men and 17% of women smoke. 70.2/100000 men develop lung cancer and 50.5/100000 women 90% of

marishachu [46]

All the probabilities are given for the three different scenarios in men and women: people who smoke, people who develop lung cancer, and people who develop lung cancer who are also smokers. Then, these are even classified in terms of gender.

But the final question only has to do with men who are smokers that develop lung cancer. So, I think all the other data are only there for the purpose of red herring. The answer is already there, but you just have to find it among the others. First, you ignore all the probabilities involving women because we only want the men. Then, you find the probability of men that have lung cancer being smokers. The answer is 90%.

A bag has 8 bagels. three of the bagels are cranberry. what percent of the bagels are cranberry

Olin [163]

Since 3 out of 8 are cranberry, the fraction is 3/8. In order to convert it, you divide the top number by the bottom, and you get 0.375. In order to get the percent, you would multiply it by 100, and you get 37.5 %

The answer is 37.5%
