Let the time that you caught up with your friend be t, then
8.5 - 3.4t = 8 - 3t
3.4t - 3t = 8.5 - 8
0.4t = 0.5
t = 0.5/0.4 = 1.25
therefore, you will catch up with your friend after 1.25 hours.
b.) time it will take you to cross the finnish line = 8.5/3.4 = 2.5 hours
After 2.5 hours, distance covered by your friend = 3 x 2.5 = 7.5 miles
Therefore, when you cross the finish line, you are 8 - 7.5 = 0.5 miles ahead of your friend.
Answer:
16/33
Step-by-step explanation:
12C4(total possible outcomes)=495
Since there are 6 married couples there must be 6*[2C2×10C2]=270
must subtracted 15 since when there are 2 couples in a group would have doubled 270-15=255
the no of groupings with no married couples 495-255 =240
probability=no of favourable outcomes /no of possible outcome
probability=240/495= 16/33
