Two cyclists leave a city at the same time, one going east and the other going west. The westbound cyclist bikes at 3 mph faster

than the eastbound cyclist. If after 6 hours they are 162 miles apart, how fast is each cyclist riding?
If you can solve this, can you please show your work and explain what I need to plug in where, and what equation I need to use? This is so confusing.

We will say that the eastbound cyclist is going x mph. This means that the westbound cyclist is going x+3 mph.
They are both cycling for 6 hours and end up 162 miles apart.
Distance=rate*time
6x+6(x+3)=162
6x+6x+18+162
12x=144
x=12
So, the eastbound cyclist is going 12 mph.
Remember the westbound cyclist is going 3 mph faster, so s/he is going 15 mph.
Hope this helps!!

Consider the following portion of an electric circuit with three relays. Current will flow from point a to point b if there is a
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

0.9009

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the event that Current will flow

Let Y be the event that the first relay which is 1 is closed

Thus, we can say that every element of Y is in X, but X possesses more elements. Thus, Y ⊂ X.

Thus, we can say that;

P(X ∩ Y) = P(Y)

Thus, given that current flowed, the probability that relay 1 functioned will be expressed as;

P(Y | X) = (P(Y ∩ X))/P(X)

From earlier, we saw that P(X ∩ Y) = P(Y). Thus;

P(Y | X) = P(Y)/P(X)

From the question, P(Y) = 0.9

Since there are 3 relays, then we have;

P(X) = 1 - 0.1³ = 0.999

Thus;

P(Y | X) = 0.9/0.999

P(Y | X) = 0.9009

Sally found that out of 750 cans stamped in the ½ hour trial run, 150 were not stamped. About how many were not stamped in 3 hou
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

<em>About 900 cans not stamped in 3 hours</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

Sally found that 150 cans were not stamped in the 1/2 hour trial run.

Following the same proportion in time, we can say:

150 cans not stamped in 1/2 hour. Multiplying by 2:

300 cans not stamped in 1 hour. Multiplying by 3:

900 cans not stamped in 3 hours

About 900 cans not stamped in 3 hours

EXPERT HELP: DON'T GUESS and SHOW YOU WORK
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

the mean is 103, as a result you must find the distance.

from 100 to 103 is 3

from 194 to 103 is 1

from 107 to 103 is 4

Then find the mean again youll get 18/6 which is 3
