Let us assume as at when they meet, the time elapsed is x hours.

Fred  3 mi/h
John  2 mi/h

Distance = speed * time

Fred = 3x
John = 2x

Houses are 4miles apart. 
So:            3x + 2x  = 4    5x = 4

x = 4/5 hour =  0.8 hour or 0.8*60 = 48 minutes

Time elapsed is 0.8 hour or 48 minutes.

In a shipment of 22 smartphones, 2 are defective. How many ways can a quality control inspector randomly test 4 smartphones, of
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Therefore the required ways are =190

Step-by-step explanation:

Combination: Combination is the number of selection of items from a collection of items where the order of selection does not matter.

Total number of smartphones =22

Defective phone = 2

Non defective phone = (22-2) =20

The control inspector randomly test 4 smartphones of which 2 are defective.

Non defective phone = 2

The ways to select 2 non defective phone is

^{20}C_2=\frac{20!}{2!(20-2)!} =\frac{20!}{2!18!}=\frac{19\times 20}{2} =190

The ways to select 2 defective phone is= ^2C_2=1

Therefore the required ways are = (190×1) =190

A truck driver can travel 560 miles on 28 gallons of gas. How far can he travel on 35 gallons of gas?
Shtirlitz [24]
560 / 28 = 20....so the driver travels 20 miles per gallon

on 35 gallons......35 * 20 = 700 miles <==

or u can also do it this way...

560/28 = x / 35....560 miles to 28 gal = x miles to 35 gal
cross multiply because this is a proportion
(28)(x) = (560)(35)
28x = 19600
x = 19600/28
x = 700 miles <==

so u can either do it by finding the unit rate or by making a proportion. either way will result in the same answer.
