Issac drove the first three hours at 44 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Average speed of Isaac = 49 mph

Let,

x be the speed during last three hours.

Speed during first three hours = 4x-172

Average = \frac{Sum\ of\ terms}{No.\ of\ terms}

49=\frac{(4x-172)+x}{2}\\\\49=\frac{4x-172+x}{2}\\\\49=\frac{5x-172}{2}

Multiplying both sides by 2

49*2=\frac{5x-172}{2}*2\\98=5x-172\\98+172=5x\\270=5x\\5x=270

Dividing both sides by 5

\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{270}{5}\\x=54

Speed during last three hours = x = 54 mph

Speed during first three hours = 4x-172 = 4(54)-172 = 216-172 = 44 mph

Issac drove the first three hours at 44 miles per hour.

One option in a roulette game is to bet $ 6
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

<h2>We have 47% of chances to win those six bucks.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we need to find the probabilty of winning thos $6.

According to the problem, we win $6 if we hit one red. We know that there are 18 red compartments, 18 black compartments and 2 neither red nor blakc, for a total of 38 compartments.

We need to use the standard probabilty definition which is the ratio between the number of events and the total number of outcomes. So,

P=\frac{18}{38} \approx 0.47

Which is equivalent to 47% of chances.

Therefore, we have 47% of chances to win those six bucks. (The Casino has the odds in their favor)

A garden in the shape of a trapezoid has an area of 44.4 square
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

37 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the area of a trapezoid is A=\frac{a+b}{2} +h.

Here, a = 4.3, b=10.5, and h is unknown.

44.4=\frac{4.3+10.5}{2} +h

44.4=\frac{14.8}{2} +h

44.4=7.4 +h

37 = h

The height of the trapezoid is the width of the garden, so the garden is 37 meters wide.

Savatey [412]

Answer:

52 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

area of a square is l x w. all sides are equal so the l = w

A = 169 ft^2 so each side is the square root of 169 which is 13 ft

perimeter of the floor would be all four sides added or length of 1 side multiplied by 4 since they are all equal

Perimeter = 13ft × 4 = 52 ft
