Hello there! Your answer should be 4 mph. Reasoning:
2 = (20 - x) * t 
<span>3 = (20 + x ) * t </span>
Time is the same for both equations. Solve for T.
2/(20-x) = 3/(20+x)
<span>the answer is 4 mph.
Please tell me if I was right!</span>

Let wind speed = x mph 

when she rode 2 miles against the wind we have:-
speed = distance / time so
20 - x  = 2 / t -------(1)      where t is the time she took.

when riding with the wind we have 

20 + x = 3 / t--------(2)   adding equations (1) and (2):-

40  =  2/t + 3/t
40 =  5/t
t = 5/40 = 1/8 hr 

x = 20 - 2 / 1/8  = 20 - 16 = 4

Wind speed was 4 mph Answer

In a certain town, 25% of people commute to work by bicycle. If a person is selected randomly from the town, what are the odds a
iren2701 [21]
<h3>Answer: Choice B)   3:1</h3>

=============================================================

Explanation:

Consider a very small town of only 4 people.

If 1 person bikes to work, then 1/4 = 0.25 = 25% of the population commutes by bicycle. We see that the remaining 4-1 = 3 people don't travel by bike.

The odds against selecting someone who uses their bike to get to work is 3:1 which is why the answer is choice B

We list the number of people we don't want first, and then the number of people we do want (those who use a bike). A colon separates the two values to form the odds ratio.

We can say "3:1" as "3 to 1". It means we're 3 times more likely to select someone we don't want vs someone we do want. The odds are against the bike person which is why the value we don't want is listed first.

In contrast, if your teacher asked "what are the odds in favor of selecting someone who commutes by bicycle?" then the answer would be 1:3. We simply swap the positions of what we set up earlier.

3(4x - 2) = 2(6x - 3)

12x - 6 = 12x - 6

Add 6 on both sides

12x = 12x

Divide by 12 on both sides

x = x

That means this has infinite solutions. Your answer is B.
