<h2>Automobile must travel at 96 mph to pass the truck in 4 seconds.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of  automobile = 16 feet = 4.88 m

Length of truck = 28 feet = 8.53 m

Speed of truck = 30 mph = 48 km/h = 13.33 m/s

Time in which automobile to pass truck = 4 s

Distance traveled by truck in 4 seconds = 4 x 13.33 = 53.33 m

Distance which need to cover by automobile in 4 seconds to pass truck is the sum of length of  automobile, length of truck and distance traveled by truck in 4 seconds.

Distance which need to cover by automobile in 4 seconds = 4.88 + 8.53 + 53.33

Distance which need to cover by automobile in 4 seconds = 66.74 m

Distance = Speed x Time

66.74 = Speed x 4

Speed = 16.69 m/s = 60 km/h = 96 mph

Automobile must travel at 96 mph to pass the truck in 4 seconds.

5. A group of people were asked if they believed in space creatures. 182 responded "Yes" and 220 responded No" Find the probabil
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

\frac{110}{201}, 0.55, 55%

Explanation:

So first you have to find the total number of people.

182 + 220 = 402

Then we put that number in a fraction with the number of people who do not believe in the creatures.

\frac{220}{402}\\55

Then we simplify it.

\frac{220}{402}=\frac{110}{201}\\

That is our fraction answer. In order to change it into a percent we divide the numerator by the denominator.

\frac{110}{201}=0.54726368159\\

Then we round to the nearest hundredth (or what ever it says).

0.55

And that is our decimal. Now to change that into a percent we multiply by 100, or move the decimal to spaces to the right.

55%

And that is our percent.

A laundry detergent box meassures 12 inches by 8 inches by 2.5 inches. What us the volume of two boxes of detergent
Natasha2012 [34]
The volume of one box is 240 inches cubed, because 12x8x2.5=240. If we multiply this by 2, then the volume of two boxes of detergent is 480 inches cubed.
