The distance traveled by Mr.Nersin = 4 miles
The time for which Mr.Nersin rode first = 1/2 hour
The time for which Mr.Nersin rode after a short rest = 1/10 hour
Then
The total time for which Mr.Nersin rode = (1/2) + (1/10) hour
                                                                = (5 + 1)/10 hour
                                                                = 6/10 hour
                                                                = 3/5 hour
So
Average speed of Mr. Nersin = Distance traveled / Time taken
                                                = 4/(3/5) miles/hour
                                                = (4 * 5)/3 miles/hour
                                               = 20/3 miles/hour
                                                = 6 2/3 miles/hour
                                                = 6.67 miles per hour
So the average speed at which Mr.Nersin traveled is 6 2/3 or 6.67 miles per hour.

So first add them up
1/2+1/10
convert 1/2 with denomenator of 10
1/2 times 5/5=5/10
5/10+1/10=6/10=3/5
he traveled 3/5 hours
4 miles
4 miles per 3/5 hours
average speed is miles per 1 hour
4 miles =3/5 hours
multly both sides by 5/3 to meake 3/5 equal 1 (3/5 times 5/3=15/15=1)
20/3=1 hour
6 and 2/3=1 hour
6 and 2/3 miles per hour is speed

In a student body, 50% use Google Chrome, 9% use Internet Explorer, 10% Firefox, 5% Mozilla, and the rest use Safari. In a group
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

The probability that exactly 1 student is using Internet Explorer and at least 3 students are using Chrome is 0.1350.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>C</em> = a student uses Google chrome

<em>E</em> = a student uses Internet explorer

<em>F</em> = a student uses Firefox

<em>M</em> = a student uses Mozilla

<em>S</em> = a student uses Safari

Given:

P (C) = 0.50

P (E) = 0.09

P (F) = 0.10

P (M) = 0.05

P (S) = 0.26

A sample of <em>n</em> = 5 students is selected.

The probability that exactly 1 student is using Internet Explorer and at least 3 students are using Chrome is:

P (E = 1 ∩ C ≥ 3) = P (E = 1 ∩ C = 3) + P (E = 1 ∩ C = 4) - P (E = 1 ∩ C = 5)

The probability distribution of a student using any of the browser is Binomial.

Compute the probability that exactly 1 student is using Internet Explorer and at least 3 students are using Chrome as follows:

P (E = 1 ∩ C ≥ 3) = P (E = 1 ∩ C = 3) + P (E = 1 ∩ C = 4) - P (E = 1 ∩ C = 5)

                          = P (E = 1) [P (C = 3) + P (C = 4) - P (C = 5)]

       ={5\choose 1}(0.09)^{1}(1-0.09)^{5-1}[{5\choose 3}(0.50)^{3}(1-0.50)^{5-3}+{5\choose 4}(0.50)^{4}(1-0.50)^{5-4}\\-{5\choose 5}(0.50)^{5}(1-0.50)^{5-5}]\\=0.3086[0.3125+0.1563-0.0313]\\=0.3086\times 0.4375\\=0.1350

Thus, the probability that exactly 1 student is using Internet Explorer and at least 3 students are using Chrome is 0.1350.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+60=180     1. -60 on both sides

3x = 120         2./3 on both sides

What is the HCF of 1280 and 630
tatuchka [14]

Given:

The two numbers are 1280 and 630.

To find:

The HCF of the given numbers.

Solution:

First write the given numbers in prime factorization form.

1280=2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 5

630=2\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 5\cdot 7

Now the product of all the common prime factors is known as the HCF of 1280 and 630.

HCF=2\cdot 5

HCF=10

Therefore, the HCF of 1280 and 630 is 10.

Describe what information would be needed if you wanted to prove triangle BAC~triangle DFE. Be specific with side lengths, angle
MaRussiya [10]

Refer to my drawing . Unlike most textbook problems, the triangles were drawn to scale. Side lengths 2a and side 2b are indeed proportional to side lengths a and b, respectively. It is obvious that the triangles are not similar. This is a counterexample that proves SS Similarity does not hold true. 

There is no SS Similarity. 

There is SAS Similarity. 


To prove two triangles similar you need one of the following three situations: 

1. The lengths of three sides of one triangle proportional to lengths of the three sides of the other triangle. (SSS Similarity Theorem) 

2. Two angles of one triangle congruent to two angles of another triangle. (AA SImilarity Theorem) 

3. The lengths of two sides of one triangle proportional to the lengths of two sides of another triangle, and their included angles congruent. (SAS Similarity Theorem)
