There is a proportional relationship between your distance from a thunderstorm and the time from when you see the lightning and

eimsori [14]

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation would be 3 = k*9 as there is a direct proportional relationship.

So k = 3/9 = 1/3 and we can write the relation as d = 1/3 t where d=distance and t = time.

So if we double the time t we have:-

d = 1/3 * 18

= 6 kilometers.

So the distance is doubled.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{990}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The full question:

"A committee has eleven members. there are 3 members that currently serve as the boards chairman, ranking members, and treasurer. each member is equally likely to serve in any of the positions. Three members are randomly selected and assigned to be the new chairman, ranking member, and treasurer. What is the probability of randomly selecting the three members who currently hold the positions of chairman, ranking member, and treasurer and reassigning them to their current positions?"

The permutation of choosing 3 members from a group of 11 would be:

P(n,r) = $\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$
