two trains leave stations 210 miles apart at the same time and travel tword each other. one train at 85 miles per hour while the
1 answer:
recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.
let's say we have two trains, A and B, A is going at 85 mph and B at 65 mph.
they are 210 miles apart and moving toward each other, at some point they will meet, when that happens, the faster train A has covered say d miles, and the slower B has covered then the slack from 210 and d, namely 210 - d.
When both trains meet, A has covered more miles than B because A is faster, however the time both have been moving, is the same, say t hours.

Solution
The table below is the required sample space of the to fair die
From the above table
The sample space contain 36 outcomes
Event A: The sum is greater than 9
we will look at the table and count all the elements that are greater than 9
There are 6 elements (they are 10, 10, 10, 11, 11, 12 from the table)
The probability for event A will be
P(A) = 1/6
Event B: The sum is an even number.
We will look at the table and count the number of elements that are even
There are 18 elements (notice that there are 3 even number on each of the 6 rows of the table)
The probability for event B will be
p(B) = 1/2
