Let the speed of second train = x mph

Speed of first train = (x+9.2) mph

The sum of the speeds is 720.8 mph

x + (x + 9.2) = 720.8 \\ \\ 2x + 9.2 = 720.8 \\ \\ 2x = 720.8 - 9.2 \\ \\ 2x = 711.6 \\ \\ x = \frac{711.6}{2} \\ \\ \underline{x = 355.8 \: mph}

\underline{x + 9.2 = 355.8 + 9.2 = 365 \: mph}

\textbf{\red{Speed of first train = 365 mph}} \\ \\ \textbf{\red{Speed of second train = 355.8 mph}}

Sum and difference problem.

Speed of faster train = (Sum+difference)/2=(720.8+9.2)/2=365 mph

Speed of slower train = (Sum-difference)/2=(720.8-9.2)/2=355.8 mph

with Judy jogging north and Jackie jogging west (on straight roads). When Jackie is 1 mile farther fro m the intersection than J
miskamm [114]
Let the distance of Judy from intersection is x and distance of Jackie from intersection is y.

We convert the given information to equations, step by step.

Point 1: When Jackie is 1 mile farther from the intersection than Judy.

This means y is 1 mile more than x.

So,

y = 1 + x

Point 2: The distance between them is 2 miles more than Judy’s distance from the intersection. 

Distance between is x+ y.

So, x+y is 2 miles more than y.

x+y = y + 2
⇒
x = 2

From point 1 we have:

y = 1 + x = 1+ 2 = 3

So,

Distance of Judy from intersection is 2 miles and distance of Jackie from intersection is 3 miles.

A container holds 9 red markers, 13 blue markers, and 17 green markers. You will randomly select two markers without replacement
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

a.

                         R-------8/38--------RR

R------9/39--------B-------13/38-------RB

                          G------17/38--------RG

                          R-------9/38--------BR

B--------13/39------B-------12/38-------BB

                           G-------17/38-------BG

                             R-----9/38--------GR

G---------17/39-------B------13/38-------GB

                              G------16/38-------GG

b).

  • 9 ways
  • ways you can select 1 blue are; RB,BR,BG,GB

RB=9/39 × 13/38=3/38

BR= 13/39 × 9/38 =3/38

BG= 13/39 × 17/38=17/114

GB= 17/39 × 13/38=17/114

=3/38 +3/38+17/114+ 17/114 =26/57

  • Probability of selecting 2 red markers= RR = 9/39 × 8/38 =12/247

  • Probability of selecting a green marker and then a red marker= GR= 17/39×9/38 =51/494
