Answer:they would meet at 1 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between Quebec City and New York City is 520 miles.

At the point where Kate and Will meet, they would have travelled 520 miles.

Let t represent the time it takes Kate to travel a certain distance before they met.

Distance = speed × time

If Kate drives at 55mph, the distance covered would be

55 × t = 55t.will drives at 75 mph

Since Will left same that that Kate left, distance travelled by Will in t hours would be

75 × t = 75t

Since the total distance covered is 520 miles, it means that

55t +75t = 520

130t = 520

t = 520/130 = 4

9 am + 4 hours = 1 pm

Answer:

  1 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Their combined speed is 55 + 75 = 130 miles per hour. That is the rate at which the distance between them is decreasing. The time it takes for the distance between them to become zero is found from the relation ...

  time = distance/speed

  time = (520 mi)/(130 mi/h) = 4 h

4 hours after 9 am, Kate and Will will meet. That time is 1 pm.

One hundred twelve and seven hundred eighty-six thousands to the nearest tenth
enyata [817]
221.57
Explanation:
To round to the nearest tenth you would would look at the hundredths place. If it is higher than 5 you round the number in the tenth place up if it is lower than 5 you keep it the number in the tenth place the same. In this case you have 2 which is lower than 5 so you keep the 7 the same and bring everything else down.

In 2015, Oklahoma experienced 907 perceptible earthquakes (far surpassing California), for an average of about 2.5 perceptible e
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The probability P of a day with no perceptible earthquakes is 0.0821.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will consider that earthquakes occurring in a day is a <u>Poisson process</u>. The following Poisson probability distribution formula will be used in this question.

<u>p(x,λ) = [e^-λ (λ)ˣ]/x!</u>

where x = number of outcomes occurring

           λ = mean number of occurrences

(a) So, in this question we have λ = 2.5 and we need to find the probability that x=0 (no perceptible earthquakes in a day). So,

P(X=0) = p(0,2.5) = [(e^-2.5)(2.5)⁰]/0!

                            = ((0.0821)*1)/1

P(X=0) = 0.0821

The probability P of a day with no perceptible earthquakes is 0.0821.

Round 3184.5641 to the nearest hundred
Sonja [21]
When you round you have to check the number to the right of the number you are rounding. If the number to the right is 0-4 then you keep the number the same. 5-9 the number you are rounding goes up by one. Now the 4 before the decimal point is in the ones spot. The 5 to the right of the 4 is the tenth spot and the 6 to the right of that is in the hundredth spot. so this is where we need to round. To the right of the 6 is a 4 so the number would stay the same. Now when you round you drop all the numbers after it so the number is 3184.56
