Two cyclists, 40 miles apart, start riding toward each other at the same time. One cycles 3 times as fast

Mathematics
1 answer:
Dmitry [639]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

  15 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The cyclists will cover distance at a rate proportional to their speed. So, the distance ratio is ...

  faster cyclist distance : slower cyclist distance = 3 : 1

Then the faster cyclist covers 3 : (3+1) = 3/4 of the total distance, or (3/4)(40 mi) = 30 mi.

That distance took 2 hours for the faster cyclist, so the speed was ...

  speed = distance/time = 30 mi/(2 h) = 15 mi/h

what is the probability of drawing two blue cards if the first card is not included in the second draw? simplify your answer com
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

5/14

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of cards is 8

There are 5 blue cards

P(1st card is blue) = blue/total = 5/8

We take away a blue card

The total number of cards is 7

There are 4 blue cards

P(2nd card is blue) = blue/total = 4/7

The probability of blue blue is P(blue blue ) =

P(1st card is blue)*P(2nd card is blue) =

5/8* 4/7

20/56

We can divide the top and bottom by 4

- 1/3 - (-1/2) what’s the answer? Someone please help!
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are subtracting a negative which is the same as adding.  Our equation becomes -1/3+1/2.  To add fractions we need a common denominator (the denominator of a fraction is the number on the bottom)  To fine the least common denominator we need to find the lowest number that both 3 and 2 go into which is 6.  Then we will multiply each fraction by the number that will give us 6 for a denominator which is 2 for -1/3 and 3 for 1/2.  So -1/3 times 2 is -2/6 and 1/2 times 3 is 3/6.  Our equation is now -2/6+3/6.  Now we will add the numerators ( the numerator is the number on the top of the fraction) and the denominators stay the same when adding or subtraction fractions -2/6+3/6=1/6

I hope this helps and please let me know if there is anything you are confused about or is still unclear, I will be happy to help!
