The problem statement gives you the relationship between their speeds, and it gives you information you can use to find their total speed. You solve this by finding the total speed, then the proportion of that belonging to Bill.
The total speed is (120 mi)/(3 h) = 40 mi/h.
The speed ratio is ...
... Bill : Joe = 3 : 1
so the speed ratio Bill : Total is ...
... 3 : (3+1) = 3:4.
Bill's speed is (3/4)×(40 mi/h) = 30 mi/h.
Answer: 0.34
Explanation: First, you add all of the probabilities together to find the total probability when Dr. Green is missing. (You will get 0.66.) Next, you will need to subtract this from 1.00. 1 - 0.66 = 0.34. 0.34 is your final answer.
Answer:
4. A
5. B
Step-by-step explanation:
4. I'll solve question four first:
The two marked points on the line are (-2, -3)&(2, 5). Using the formula to find slope(y2-y1/x2-x1), substitute in the points.
5--3/2--2 or 8/4;simplified to 2/1 or 2.
Now use point-slope form: y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y--3 = 2(x--2): Substitute in the values of y1, m, and x1.
y+3 = 2x + 4: Distribute.
y = 2x + 1: Subtract three from both sides.
5. Do the same for question 5.
The first point is (-4, 2), the second point is (4, -1).
-1-2/4--4; -3/8.
Now use point-slope form:
y-2 = -3/8x -12/8: Substitute in the values of x1, y1, m, and distribute the slope to the parentheses.
y = -3/8x + 1/2
