Answer:

Speed of a= 21 miles/hr

r = Speed of b= 7 miles/hr

Speed of a = 3r

Step-by-step explanation:

The cyclist are 112 miles apart

Time traveled by two = 4 hours

Speed of a = 3 * speed of b

If a cylcles 3 times More than b, then a will cover 3*distance of b

But speed = distance/time

Time = 4hours

Total distance=112

a = 3b

3b + b = 112

4b = 112

b = 112/4

b = 28 miles

a = 3b

a = 3*28

a = 84 Miles

They bought traveled 4 hours

Speed of a = 84miles/4 hours

Speed of a= 21 miles/hr

Speed of b = 28miles/4 hours

Speed of b = 7 miles/hr

Answer:

2.Race or Ethnicity

3.Disabilities or Special Needs

7.Current Grade Level

Step-by-step explanation:

A Categorical variable is a non numerical variable, and usually is defined as "a variable that allows to assign categories but we cannot clearly order the variables".

If a variable is not Categorical can be ordinal or or numerical.

Ordinal when we can create a order from the data. And numerical when is not categorical or ordinal.

1.Reading Test Score

False, usually the scores are quantitative or numerical variable since are measured on units..

2.Race or Ethnicity

True, is categorical variable since we don't have an order for this.

3.Disabilities or Special Needs

True, we can consider this variable as categorical since we don't have an order and can't be expressed in numerical terms.

4.Age

False, is a quantitative variable or numerical

5.Mathematics Test Score

False the scores represnt a numerical variable.

6. Days Absent

False, that can be considered as quantitative if we count the days absent

7.Current Grade Level

True. That can be considered a categorical variable since we can't express this variable with numbers.

So then the correct choices are:

2.Race or Ethnicity

3.Disabilities or Special Needs

7.Current Grade Level

A vegetable garden and surrounding path are shaped like a square that together are 10ft wide. The path is 3ft wide. Find the tot
Alina [70]

Answer:

256

Step-by-step explanation:

since the the path surounds both sides of the garden you have to add 2 x instead of just x

let me show you what i mean. 10=garden width and 3=path width=x

since it is a square, we can calculate the area by taking one side and squaring it so you get (10+2x)^2 which is 16^2 since x is 3, the width of the garden

to do simaler problems just use thei formula (garden length+2path length)^2 or (garden length+2path length)times(garden length+2path length)
