Answer:

0.7 or 70%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total of 20 trucks.

Trucks in good shape: 14

Trucks with defects: 6

We want to find the probability of choosing two trucks in <em>good </em>shape, so 14/20 gives us the answer: 0.7 -> 70%.

A truck can travel 210 miles in the same time it takes a car to travel 350 miles. If the trucks rate is 20 miles per hour slower
nekit [7.7K]

Answer: The speed of the truck is 30 mph.

The speed of the car is 50 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the car. If the trucks rate is 20 miles per hour slower than the car's, it means that the speed of the truck is

(x - 20) miles per hour.

Time = distance/speed

The truck can travel 210 miles in the same time it takes the car to travel 350 miles. It means that the time it would take the truck to travel 210 miles is

210/(x - 20)

Also, the time it would take the car to travel 350 miles is

350/x

Since the time is the same, it means that

210/(x - 20) = 350/x

Cross multiplying, it becomes

350(x - 20) = 210x

350x - 7000 = 210x

350x - 210x = 7000

140x = 7000

x = 7000/140

x = 50

The speed of the truck is

x - 20 = 50 - 20 = 30 mph

A rectangle and a triangle have the same area, 72 . The height of the triangle is also the same as the width of the rectangle. T
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Part 1) The height of triangle is h=8\ in

Part 2) The width of rectangle is W=8\ in

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the dimensions of triangle

The area of triangle is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}bh

we have

b=18\ in

A=72\ in^{2}

substitute and solve for h

72=\frac{1}{2}(18)h

144=(18)h

h=144/18=8\ in

step 2

Find the missing dimension of rectangle

we have that

The height of the triangle is the same as the width of the rectangle

therefore

W=h=8\ in

The field hockey coach is purchasing new uniforms for the team. Company A charges a one-time printing fee of $100 and $12 per un
Paul [167]
You can make this into an inequality, using x as the number of uniforms.
100 + 12x < 61 + 15x
39 < 3x
13 < x, so they must buy more than 13 to get a better deal.
