Train X is traveling at a constant speed of 30 miles per hour and Train Y is traveling at a constant speed of 40 miles per hour.

If the two trains are traveling in the same direction along the same route but Train X is 25 miles ahead of Train Y, how many hours will it be until Train Y is 10 miles ahead of Train X?

Answer:

3.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of train X=30 mph

Speed of train Y=40  mph

Relative speed When the two trains travelling in same direction

Relative speed=40-30=10 mph

Total distance =25+10=35 miles

We have to find the time when train Y is 10 miles ahead of train X.

We know that

Time=\frac{Distance}{Relative\;speed}

Using the formula

Then, we get

Time=\frac{35}{10}=3.5 hours

Hence, it will be 3.5 hours until train Y is 10 miles ahead of train X.

Answer:

3.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

When train Y is at position 0 train  X is at position 25.

Speed = distance / time.

Suppose the distance  travelled by train X  before  Train Y catches up with him is x miles.

Then we have the system

30 = x/ t

40 = (x + 25) / t     where t is the time in hours.

x = 30t  plug this into the second equation

40 = ( 30t + 25) / t

40t  = 30t + 25

10t = 25

t = 2.5 hours.

Now the time taken for  train Y to get 10 miles ahead  is calculated as follows:

Combined speed = 40 - 30 = 10 mph.

so 10 = 10/t

t = 1 hours.

Answer is 3.5 hours.

A computer system uses passwords that are six characters, and each character is one of the 26 letters (a–z) or 10 integers (0–9)
Blababa [14]

First of all, since we have 36 characters available per spot (26 letters and 10 digits), and we have 6 spots, we have a total of

36^6

possible passwords.

Event A happens if the password starts with either a, e, i, o or u. If we fix the first character, we're left with 36 characters available for each of the remaining 5 spots, leading to a total of

5\cdot 36^5

possible passwords.

So, the probability of event A, computed as the ratio between "good" cases and all possible cases, is

\dfrac{5\cdot 36^5}{36^6}=\dfrac{5}{36}

Event B works exactly the same, since we're fixing the last spot, leaving 36 characters available for each of the first 5 spots. So, we have

P(A)=P(B)=\dfrac{5}{36}

As for the intersection, we want the first character to be a vowel, and the last character to be an even digits. There are 25 passwords satisfying this request:

axxxx0,\ axxxx2,\ axxxx4,\ axxxx6,\ axxxx8

exxxx0,\ exxxx2,\ exxxx4,\ exxxx6,\ exxxx8

ixxxx0,\ ixxxx2,\ ixxxx4,\ ixxxx6,\ ixxxx8

oaxxxx0,\ oxxxx2,\ oxxxx4,\ oxxxx6,\ oxxxx8

uxxxx0,\ uxxxx2,\ uxxxx4,\ uxxxx6,\ uxxxx8

Where x can be any of the 36 characters.

So, we have 25 cases with 4 vacant slots, leading to a probability of

P(A\cap B)=\dfrac{25\cdot 36^4}{36^6}=\dfrac{25}{1296}

Finally, you can compute the probability of the union using the formula

P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)

Since we already computed all these quantities.

Answer:

37.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

So the original fraction is 3/8 and we can’t simplify it so we gotta turn it into a percent, and we can do that by dividing 3 and 8nto get .375 so the percent is 37.5%.
