First walk=descend of 1024 feet in 17 minutes
second walk=descend of 500 feet in 7 minutes

so in total she descended 1024+500=1524 feet in 7+17=24 minutes
as an average rate this equals 1524/24=63.5 feet/minute descended
or an average rate of -63.5 feet/minute in altitude (note the minus)

How fast should the ant walk to go around the rectangle in 4 minutes?
vekshin1

<em><u>Question:</u></em>

How fast should the ant walk to go around the rectangle in 4 minutes if the sides are 12 inches and 16 inches

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

The ant should walk 14 inches per minute

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Dimensions of rectangle are 12 inches and 16 inches

<em><u>Find the perimeter of rectangle</u></em>

Perimeter = 2(length + width)

Perimeter = 2(12 + 16)

Perimeter = 2(28) = 56

Thus perimeter of rectangle is 56 inches

Time taken = 4 minutes

We have to find the speed at which ant covers 56 inches in 4 minutes

<em><u>The speed is given by formula:</u></em>

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

speed = \frac{56}{4} = 14

Thus the ant should walk 14 inches per minute

Which problems result in a positive number? Choose all answers that are correct. A. –4.6 • 1.6 B. –10 • (–5.2) C. 8.4 ÷ 2 D.
kumpel [21]
Well you can automatically eliminate, A, because when you multiply one number that's positive and another number that's negative the result is always going to be negative.
However, when you multiply two negatives the result is always positive!

So, the only ones up there that would result in a positive number is B and C

***D. was not posted so I cannot determine that one!

Daniel is three years older than twice his brother's age. Daniel is 17. Fill in the box with the expression that represents the
masha68 [24]
Daniel's age is X
Daniel's brother age is Y

X = 3 + ( 2Y )

Y = ( X - 3 ) / 2

In case of Daniel is 17

then his brother's age is = ( 17 - 3 ) / 2 = 7 years

c) 200 people are asked about three brands of beverages Coffee, Tea and Chocolate. 36 like Coffee only, 46 like Coffee but not T
Agata [3.3K]

The number of people who like black coffee i) 52

Number of the people who don't like any of the drinks ii) 66

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in other words the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

This sort of problem is usually solved using some sort of table or Venn diagram. We have used a table in the attachment such that each of the cells in the grid represents one of the 8 possible combinations of coffee, tea, or chocolate.

The numbers in black are given directly by the problem statement. The numbers in blue are calculated from the numbers in black and one of the other given numbers in the problem statement. The numbers in red are calculated so the totals work out correctly.

The cells shaded blue-gray are "one and only one" of the drinks. The cell-shaded purple-gray is "don't like any".

i) black coffee

We assume that any form of "coffee" is "black coffee." The problem statement tells us that 52 people like coffee.

ii) none

The last number we calculated is the number who like none of the drinks: 66. This brings the total of non-coffee drinkers to 148.

Additional comment

As noted above, the colors more or less indicate the order of the calculations. We started with 36 who like coffee only, and 46 who like coffee and not tea. That means 46-36=10 like coffee and chocolate, but not tea.

Since 16 like coffee and chocolate, that leaves 16-10=6 who like coffee and tea and chocolate (all three).

96 like chocolate, but 16 of those like chocolate and tea. The other 80 like chocolate, but not tea.

46+16=52, so there must be 0 who like coffee and tea, but not chocolate.

The number who like only one is 108. We already have 36 that are coffee only, 80-10 = 70 that are chocolate only, so there must be 108 -70 -36 = 2 who like a tea only.

Now, we can finish filling the top row of the table and the totals in the bottom row.

Therefore the number of people who like black coffee i) 52 , Number of the people who don't like any of the drinks ii) 66
