Answer:

<h2>Frank speed = 37mi/h</h2><h2>Gregory speed = 59mi/hr</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of Frank be x and speed of Gregory be y. If Gregory drives 22 miles per hour faster than Frank, then y = 22+x. SInce they they are 216miles apart after 2.25 hours,

Speed = Distance/Time

Total time travelled by them = 2.25hours

Total distance = 216 hours

Total speed = x+y = x+22+x

Substituting this parameters into the formula given to get x we will have;

x+22+x = 216/2.25

2x+22 = 96

2x = 96-22

2x = 74

x = 74/2

x = 37

<em>Hence the speed of Frank is 37miles per hour while that of gregory is 37+22 = 59miles/hour</em>

Find the dimensions of a rectangle whose width is 7 miles less than its length and whose areas is 78 square miles.
tatuchka [14]
W = L - 7
WL = 78

(L-7)L = 78

L^2 - 7L - 78 = 0
Factorize: (L-13)(L+6) = 0

L = 13 or -6

A length cannot be negative, so the length must be 13 miles.
The width is 13-7 = 6 miles.

N a​ region, there is a 0.70.7 probability chance that a randomly selected person of the population has brown eyes. assume 1414

'll use the binomial approach. We need to calculate the probabilities that 9, 10 or 11 
<span>people have brown eyes. The probability that any one person has brown eyes is 0.8, </span>
