Answer: in 2/5 hours they will be at the same distance from their apartment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data that we have is:

Alan works 6 miles away from the apartment, and his speed is 7 miles per hour.

Soren works 8 miles away from the apartment, and his speed is 12 miles per hour.

We can calculate the distance as a function of time by the equation.

D =  initial distance - speed*t

where t is the number of hours; so we have that the equation for Allan is:

Da = 6 mi - 7 mi/h*t

The equation for Soren is:

Ds = 8mi - 12mi/h*t

They will be at the same distance to the apartment when Da = Ds, so we must have that:

6mi - 7mi/h*t = 8mi -12mi/h*t

we need to solve it for t.

(12mi/h - 7mi/h)*t = 8mi - 6mi  

5mi/h*t = 2mi

t = (2/5)h

Let the distance remaining after time t be x miles.

Distance traveled by Alan = (6-x) miles
Distance traveled by Soren = (8-x) miles

Time takes by the two is the same. Therefore,
(8-x)/12 = (6-x)/7 => 7(8-x) = 12(6-x) => 56-7x = 72-12x => 12x-7x = 72 -56 => 5x= 16 => x = 16/5 = 3.2 miles.

And then, time taken (t) = (8-3.2)/12 = (6-3.2)/7 = 0.4 hours

Phyllis invested 800 dollars into two different accounts, a portion earning a yearly interest rate of
Nitella [24]

The amount of money that Phyllis invested at each given rate of 4 and 6 percent is = $394.57 and $591.86 respectively.

<h3>Calculation of the total capital invested</h3>

The time the investment lasted= 12 years.

Simple interest = 1579.05 - 800= $779.05

The principal capital= $800

Rate of the both capital invested;

= SI × 100/P ×T

= 779.05 × 100/800 × 12

= 77,905/9600

= 8.11%

To find the amount of money that Phyllis invested at each given rate,

Rate 1 = 4/8.11× 800

= 3200/8.11

= $394.57

Rate 2 = 6/8.11× 800

= 4800/8.11

= $591.86

The amount of money that Phyllis invested at each given rate of 4 and 6 percent is = $394.57 and $591.86 respectively.

gavmur [86]
Use the hypergeometric distribution.
M=number of Men=5
F=number of women=4
m=number of men elected=2
f=number ow women elected=2.

Assuming equal chance to get elected, then
P(2M,2F)=C(M,m)*C(F,f)/C(M+F,m+f)
=C(5,2)*C(4,2)/C(9,4)
=10*6/126
=10/21
