Answer:

Her usual rate is 0.8333 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

The velocity formula is given by:

v = \frac{d}{t}

In which d is the distance and t is the time.

She completed the first half of the walk 1 mi/h faster than usual

Her usual rate is v. 1mph faster is v + 1.

The second half of the walk 2 mi/h slower than the first half.

The first half is v + 1.

2mph slower is v + 1 - 2 = v - 1. Then

Total rate:

7.2 hours, and 6 miles. So

One half is v+1 and the other is v - 1. This is why each is multiplied by 0.5.

0.5(v + 1) + 0.5(v - 1) = \frac{6}{7.2}

0.5v + 0.5 + 0.5v - 0.5 = 0.8333

v = 0.8333

Her usual rate is 0.8333 miles per hour.

Two polygons are similar. The perimeter of the larger polygon is 120 yards and the ratio of the corresponding side lengths is 1/
Kay [80]

Answer:

20 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Two Given polygons are similar :

Ratio of corresponding sides =. 1/6

Perimeter of larger polygon = 120 yards

Perimeter of smaller = p

Since they are similar, and yhe ratio of their sides Given, we use the relation :

(Smaller perimeter / larger perimeter) = (smaller side / larger side)

(p / 120) = (1 /6)

Cross multiply :

6p = 120

p = 120/6

p = 20 yards

In the game of​ roulette, a player can place a ​$8 bet on the number 17 and have a StartFraction 1 Over 38 EndFraction probabili
svp [43]

Answer:

Expected value of the game: -$0.421

Expected loss in 1000 games: $421

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two possible outcomes for the event:

- There is a 1 in 38 chance of winning $280

- There is a 37 in 38 chance of losing $8

The expected value for a single game is:

E(X) = \frac{1}{38}*\$280-\frac{37}{38}*\$8\\E(X)=-\$0.421

The expected value of the game is -$0.421

In 1,000 plays, the expected loss is:

L = 1,000*-\$0.421\\L=-\$421

You would expect to lose $421.
