<h2>Answer:</h2>

His average speed on the return drive is:

                             50 mph

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Let d be the distance from home to the place of his job interview.

Let s be the average speed when he drive to his job interview.

Now, it is given that:

It took Gustavo 5 hours to drive to a job interview.

We know that distance is the product of speed and time.

i.e.

Distance=Speed\times Time

Hence, we have:

d=5s--------(1)

Also,

On the way home, he was able to increase his average speed by 20 mph and make the return drive in only 3 hours.

His average speed back home is: s+20

and his time is: 3 hours

Hence, we have:

d=3(s+20)\\\\i.e.\\\\d=3s+60----------(2)

From equation (1) and equation (2) we have:

5s=3s+60\\\\i.e.\\\\5s-3s=60\\\\2s=60\\\\s=\dfrac{60}{2}\\\\s=30\ mph

Hence, his average speed on the return drive is: s+20

                                                                              = 30+20

                                                                             = 50 mph

A teacher student committee consisting of 4 people is to be formed from 5 teachers and 20 students. Find the probability that th
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

99.96%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the information:

  • 5 teachers
  • 20 students
  • 4 people in committee

=> the are 25 people in total

Hence, the total possible outcomes of all the members in the 4 committee:

C^{4} _{25}  = 12650

They want us to find the probability that the committee will consist of at least one student, which means that

=(Total possible outcome - committee with no student) / Total possible outcomes

So we need to find the possible outcomes of committee with no student:

= C^{4} _{5}  =5

=> the probability that the committee will consist of at least one student.

= (12650 - 5) / 12650

= 0.9996

= 99.96%

Hope it will find you well.

Two marathon runners run the full distance of the marathon, approximately 26 miles, in 4 hours.
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

6.5 miles in 1 hour and they will run 75% of the full distance in 1 hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance covered by two marathon runners = 26 miles

They takes 4 hours

We need to find how many miles did they run in 1 hour

In 4 hour, the distance covered is 26 miles

To find distance covered in 1 hour, divide 26 by 4 such that.

d=\dfrac{26}{4}\\\\d=6.5\ \text{miles/hour}

So, they will cover 6.5 miles in 1 hour.

For percentage,

\%=\dfrac{26-6.5}{26}\times 100\\\\=75\%

So, they will run 75% of the full distance in 1 hour.
