We must look at this question in steps
The first half of the journey is travelled at 40 km/h
Half of 100km is 50 km
Using the formula
Distance = Speed x Time
Speed = Distance / Time
Time = Distance / Speed
We can work out the time:

50km / 40km/h = 1.25 hours

Next we look at the second half of the journey
50km at 80km/h
50km / 80km/h = 0.625 hours

Add together both times to work out how long the entire journey took
1.25 + 0.625 = 1.875 hours

Using the Speed formula from before
Speed = 100km / 1.875 =
53 1/3 km/h or 53.3 recurring km/h

Jason inherited a piece of land from his great-uncle. Owners in the area claim that there is a 45% chance that the land has oil.
inn [45]
P ( A ) = 0.45  - probability that the land has oil,
P ( B ) = 0.8   - probability that the test predicts it
P ( A ∩ B ) = P ( A ) · P ( B ) = 0.45 · 0.8  = 0.36
Answer: The probability that the land has oil and the test predicts it is 36 %.

A water tank is 3/4 full.
guapka [62]

x/.75=x-56/0.4

0.4x=.75x-42

-0.35x=-42

x=120

I set up a proportion in which x=the tank when it is 3/4 full. When the tank is 3/4 full, solving the proportion tells us the x=120 litres. 120/3=40, and 120+40 is 160, showing that a tank completely full would indeed hold 160 litres.

Hope this helps!
