Let’s say it takes time t hours for the interception.
In that time the carrier travels 28t nm west and the helicopter 130t nm.
Now we use the sine rule to find the angle x which lies between the distance 175 and 130t.
sin(x)/28t=sin35/130t. So sin(x)=28sin35/130=14sin35/65=0.1235 and x=7.0964 degrees.
Therefore the helicopter should use a bearing of 35+7.0964=42.0964 degrees north of east or 47.9 degrees east of north approx.

what do you think the sum of the probabilities for all the possible outcomes must be for any situation. explain
raketka [301]
Let's pose this question a different way: what are the chances that one out of all possible events is going to happen? What are the chances that, if I roll a die, I will roll a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or a 6? What is the probability, if I flip a coin, that the outcome will either be heads or tails? When we take every possible outcome and add their probabilities together, the sum of the probabilities will be 100%, or 1.

Example:
Coin Toss:
Prob of Heads (.5) plus Prob of Tails (.5) = 1
Dice roll: 
1/6 (odds of rolling any given number) times 6 (number of possibilities) = 1

Which expression is equivalent to 3 7/8-6 1/4
Serhud [2]

get a common denominator which is 24

3 7/8 = 3 21/24

6 /4 = 6 6 /24

3 21/24 - 6 6 /24

big number minus small number take sign of larger

6 6/24

- 3 21/24

-------------


5  30/24

3  21/24

--------------

2  9/24


2 3/8

Jen picked 3/4 of a gallon of strawberries in half an hour.If she keeps picking strawberries at the same time, how many gallons
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Number of gallons of strawberries will she have picked in 2 hours is, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate defined as the rate are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 4 feet per second or 6 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.

Given the statement: Jen picked 3/4 of a gallon of strawberries in half an hour.

⇒ In \frac{1}{2} hour Jen picked  \frac{3}{4} gallon of strawberries.

Unit rate per hour = \frac{\frac{3}{4} }{\frac{1}{2}} =\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}

To find the number of gallons will she have picked in 2 hours.

Number of gallons = unit rate per hours \times 2

                                      =\frac{3}{2} \times 2 = 3

Therefore, the number of gallons will she have picked in 2 hours is, 3
