I hope this helps you




distance=speed×time



first cars time t




second cars time t+3



same distance


distance=55.t


distance=40. (t+3)



55t=40 (t+3)



55t-40t=120


15t=120


t=8


t+3=11

James, Priya, and Siobhan work in a grocery Store. James makes $9.00 per hour. Priya makes 40% more than James, and Siobhan make
wolverine [178]

Answer:

<em>* Siobhan's profit at the grocery store ⇒ $ 10.8 *</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

See below;

Priya's 40% profit in the grocery store ⇒ 40/100 * 9 = 2/5 * 9 = 18/5 ⇒ $ 3.6,

Priya's profit at the grocery store ⇒ 9 + 3.6 ⇒ $ 12.6,

Siobhan's 15% of Priya's profit from the store ⇒ 15/100 * 12.6 = $ 1.8

Siobhan's profit at the grocery store ⇒ 12.6 - 1.8 = $ 10.8

<em>* Siobhan's profit at the grocery store ⇒ $ 10.8 *</em>

The ratio of boys to girls in the Science Club is 3.5. If there are 60 girls, how many boys are there?
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

36 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

                                                            3

Please write the ratio as 3:5 or as  --------

                                                             5

Note that 3 + 5 = 8, so that the fraction of boys in the club is 3/8 and that of girls is 5/8.  

How many are in the club altogether?  Let this count be represented by c.  Then (5/8)c = 60.

Multiplying both sides of this equation by (8/5), to isolate c, we get:

c = (8/5)(60) = 96.  Thus, there are 96 Science students altogether.

3/8 of this number are boys.  This comes out to (3/8)(96) = 36 boys.

We could also solve this problem in the following manner:

 3          b

------ = ------- , where b represents the number of boys.

  5        60

Then 5b = 180.  Dividing both sides by 5, we get b = 180/5 = 36 boys

Parking spaces at a business school are arranged by a random monthly lottery. there are 3 spaces for every 10 students who want
Alexus [3.1K]

27.034%  
Let's define the function P(x) for the probability of getting a parking space exactly x times over a 9 month period. it would be: 
P(x) = (0.3^x)(0.7^(9-x))*9!/(x!(9-x)!)  
Let me explain the above. The raising of (0.3^x)(0.7^(9-x)) is the probability of getting exactly x successes and 9-x failures. Then we shuffle them in the 9! possible arrangements. But since we can't tell the differences between successes, we divide by the x! different ways of arranging the successes. And since we can't distinguish between the different failures, we divide by the (9-x)! different ways of arranging those failures as well. So P(4) = 0.171532242 meaning that there's a 17.153% chance of getting a parking space exactly 4 times. 
Now all we need to do is calculate the sum of P(x) for x ranging from 4 to 9.

So
 P(4) = 0.171532242
 P(5) = 0.073513818
 P(6) = 0.021003948
 P(7) = 0.003857868
 P(8) = 0.000413343
 P(9) = 0.000019683
  And
 0.171532242 + 0.073513818 + 0.021003948 + 0.003857868 + 0.000413343
+ 0.000019683 = 0.270340902 
 So the probability of getting a parking space at least four out of the nine months is 27.034%
