Doomtown is 300 miles due west of Sagebrush and Joshua is due west of Doomtown. At 9 a.m. Mr. Archer leaves Sagebrush for Joshua

. At 1 p.m. Mr. Sassoon leaves Doomtown for Joshua. If Mr. Archer travels at an average speed 20 mph faster than Mr. Sassoon and they each reach Joshua at 4 p.m., how fast is each traveling?

Refer to the diagram shown below.

Let the distance that Sassoon travels is d miles.
Let his average speed be x mph.
The time of travel is from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., which is 3 hours.
Therefore 
3x = d                            (1)

The distance that Archer travels is (d + 300) miles.
The time of travel is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., which is 7 hours.
The average traveling speed is (x + 20) mph, therefore
7(x + 20) = d + 300     
That is,
7x + 140 = d + 300
7x = d + 160                  (2)

Subtract (1) from (2).
7x - 3x = d + 160 - d
4x = 160
x = 40 mph  (Sassoon's average speed)
x+20 = 60 mph (Archer's average speed)
From (1), obtain d = 120 mi

Answer:
Archer's speed is 60 mph.
Sassoon's speed is 40 mph.

A word game has 100 tiles with different letters , if letters are drawn 7 at a time, approximately how many possible letter comb
Talja [164]
Answer: 16 007 560 800 possible letter combinations.
Explanation: Now, we don't care about the order in which they are picked, so it's a little bit different to how permutation probability and combinations work.
Since we don't care about order, these two are identical:

123a
12a3

They have the same letters in their sequence, so they won't form a new word.
Now, let's understand how combinatorics work compared to permutations.

Combinatorics work out a list of combinations that you can have, provided that they all have different values (123 is not the same as 234, they are different combinations), however permutations focus solely on ordered figures (123 may be the same as 321 in combinatorics, but they yield a new set in permutations).

Thus, if we don't care about order, let's write up a formula:
If we have 100 tiles to fill 100 places, we have 100! combinations, provided that they are all different letters.
But we only want to pick 7 and sort them out.

Thus, our equation is \frac{100!}{7!(100 - 7)!} = 16 007 560 800
This is our ^{n}C_r formula, and it's important to remember this formula.

Two families went to a baseball game. The first family bought 5 pretzels and 4 sodas, which totaled $30. The second family bough
Alinara [238K]

The cost of one soda bought by both families is $5.

<h3>What is the total cost of shopping for each family?</h3>

The cost of purchase is the sum of number of items bought and their prices for each family.

Let us assume that x is for number of pretzels bought and y is for number of sodas bought, as a result, the total amount spent by each family and number of items bought are expressed thus:

5x+4y=30.....................(equation 1)

4x+5x=33 .....................(equation 2)

let us multiply equation 1 by 5

let us multiply equation 2 by 4

5*(5x+4y=30)25x+20x=150........(equation 3)

4*(4x+5x=33)16x+20x=132..........(equation 4)

equation 3 minus equation 4 is:

9x=18

x=18/9

x=2

price of pretzels is $2.00

Substitute for x in equation:

24x+5y=33(4*2)+5y=33

8+5y=33

5y=33-8

5y=25

y=25/5

y=5

price of one soda=$5
