The answer is 0.5 hours.

A velocity (v) of an object is a distance (d) divided by time (t):
v = d ÷ t                         ⇒                  t = d ÷ v

It is given:
v1 = 192 km/h
v2 = 960 km/h
t1 - t2 = 2h
We need to calculate t2.

Since they will travel the same distance before the jet overtakes the plane, we can say that d1 = d2 = d

Now, let's express t1 and t2:
t1 = d/192
t2 = d/960

Therefore: d/192 - d/960 = 2
The least common denominator is 960, so:
5d/960 - d/960 = 2
4d/960 = 2
4d = 2 · 960
4d = 1920
d = 1920 ÷ 4 = 480 km

Now t2 = d/960 = 480/960 = 0.5 hours.

Craig just finished reading 120 pages of his history assignment if the assignment is 125 Pages what percent has Craig read so fa
diamong [38]
96% is the answer 100%/x%=125/120
(100/x)*x=(125/120)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.04166666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.04166666667) to get x
100/1.04166666667=x
96=x
x=96

Help!!!!

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since JB is the bisector of AD and the length of AD is given as 24 we can conclude that AZ is 12 (half of AD)

2x + 4 = 12

2x = 8

x = 4

Helppppp me find a equation for this lol
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer: One POSSIBLE answer is (0,9)

Step-by-step explanation: This may look hard but it's actually super easy. All you have to do is substitute a value for x and see what you get as the y value. The first thing I would do is rearrange the equation so that the equation is in the format y = something. So the first thing you should do is subtract 6x from both sides of the equation and you should get -y=-6x+9. Right now, the y is being multiplied by -1, and to undo multiplication, you have to divide. So divide both sides of the equation by -1 (remember, what you do on one side of the equation, YOU HAVE TO DO THE SAME THING ON THE OTHER SIDE). So your new equation would be y=6x-9. Then, all you have to do is substitute a value for x and see what you get for y (x is basically the input and whatever you get for y is the output). S for example, let's say that x=0. So substitute a 0 in the equation wherever you see an x. So in this case, you would get y=(6x0)+9. Then you just simplify. So 6x0 is 0 and 0+9=9 So y=9

TO RECAP: Rearrange the equation so that the equation is in the format y = something. Then, input any number for x, and whatever you get for y is what you put in the brackets as your y value for your final answer.

Hope this helps!

Suppose you have a 6-face unfair dice with numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6 on each of its faces. If the probability distribution of throwing
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to select which of the options is correct.

The correct option is the option D

Since the die is unfair, we expect that the probability of each of the numbers turning up

will not be equal.

However, we should also expect that if we add the chances of all the numbers occurring together, then the total probability should be equal to 1. But this does not work in this case;

In this case, adding all the probabilities together, we have;

1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/2

= 5(1/12) + 1/2 = 5/12 + 1/2 = 11/12

11/12 is not equal to 1 and thus the probability distribution cannot be correct
