Hey!

Hope this helps...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay... so we know that the train is moving north, which means the Apposing wind (and Friction) would be coming from the south.

We also know that the wind is coming from the West.

And based upon this information, we know that the Smoke has to be going South West because when an Apposing wind is pushed by a natural wind, the object being affected by both winds moves in both directions (a.k.a. diagonal)...

If you need to explain anything, please ask, I also recommend looking at the photo I made below...

Rachel earned $85.25 for working 6 1 4 hours. How much does Rachel earn per hour?

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Rachel earns per hour is $ 13.64 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Rachel earned $85.25 for working $6 \frac{1}{4}$ hours.

i.e

Rachel earned $85.25 for working $\frac{25}{4}$ hours.

Now calculate earning of Rachel for 1 hour .

$Rachel\ earning\ for\ one\ hour = \frac{Total\ earning}{Total\ time}$

$Rachel\ earning\ for\ one\ hour = \frac{85.25}{\frac{25}{4}}$

$Rachel\ earning\ for\ one\ hour = \frac{85.25\times 4}{25}$

$Rachel\ earning\ for\ one\ hour = \frac{341}{25}$

$Rachel\ earning\ for\ one\ hour = \$ 13.64$

Therefore Rachel earns per hour is $ 13.64 .

A spinner has 6 equally divided sections labeled A, B, C, D, E and F. After spinning the spinner, a number cube is rolled. What

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer: $\dfrac{2}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The spinner has 6 equal sections A, B, C, D, E, and F

The two events occurred one after the other. So, the probability is the product of the probabilities of each event.

There are two consonants in the given 6 letter

The probability of landing over a consonant is

$P_1=\dfrac{2}{6}$

The number greater than 2 in a cube are 3,4,5,6

So, probability corresponding to it

$P_2=\dfrac{4}{6}$

So, the required probability is

$\Rightarrow P=P_1\times P_2\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{2}{6}\times \dfrac{4}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{8}{36}\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{2}{9}$

How much of the circle is shaded? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form? 3/7 and 1/3 isn't shaded

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

$total = 1 \\ \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{7} + x = 1 \\ \frac{1}{7} + x = 1 - \frac{1}{2} \\ \frac{1}{7} + x = \frac{1}{2} \\ x = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{7} \\ x = \frac{7 - 2}{7 \times 2} \\ x = \frac{5}{14} \\ \\ shaded \: portin \: = \frac{5}{14} \\ thank \: you$
