Answer: Time = 1.5hours or 1 hour 30minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Carrie can inspect a case of watch in 5 hours

if n represent the task,

Carrie's rate C = n/5

James' rate J = n/3

Their combined rate is=n/5 + n/3 = 8n/15

Carrie After working one hour, he would have completed n/5 of the task.

Therefore, the remaining fraction of task is 4n/5

To complete the remaining fraction of task by the two of them, the time taken can be given as;

Work done = rate × time

Time = workdone/rate

Workdone = amount of task remaining = 4n/5

rate combined= 8n/15

Time = (4n/5)/(8n/15)

Time = 1.5hours or 1 hour 30minutes

Ms. Peters drove from her home to the park
worty [1.4K]

It takes 15 minutes for Ms. Peter to drive from park to her home

Given :

from her home to the park at an average speed of 30 miles per hour and

returned home along the same route at an average speed of 40 miles per hour

it takes 20 minutes to travel

Convert 20 minutes in to hour (divide by 60)

20 minutes = 1/3 hour

We know that distance = speed x time

 From home to park, distance  =speed \cdot time =30 \cdot \frac{1}{3} =10 miles

So , distance between home  and park is 10 miles

Now we calculate the time taken to return from park to home

time taken =\frac{distance}{speed} =\frac{10}{40}=\frac{1}{4}\\

Time taken is 1/4 hours. Convert it into minutes by multiplying by 60

\frac{1}{4} \cdot 60=15

So it takes 15 minutes for Ms. Peter to drive from park to her home

On a 8.5 x 11 inches (or larger) paper, create a carnival game (for example it could be: throwing a dart at a target, ball throu
Keith_Richards [23]

The probability of winning the game is 0.065

<h3>The description of the game</h3>

The game involves throwing two darts at two targets.

To win the game, the darts must hit anywhere in the following shapes

  • Rectangle: 5 by 4 inches
  • Circle: Radius, r = 3 inches

<h3>The probability of winning</h3>

The area of the paper is:

Area = 8.5 inches * 11 inches

Area = 93.5 square inches

The area of the rectangle on the paper is:

Area = 5 inches * 4 inches

Area = 20 square inches

The area of the circle on the paper is:

Area = π * (3 inches)²

Area = 28.3 square inches

The probability of landing on both shapes is

P(Both) = 20/93.5 * 28.3/93.5

Evaluate

P(Both) = 0.065

Hence, the probability of winning the game is 0.065
