A bus and a train leave the same station at the same time and travel in the same direction along parallel routes. The train runs

twice as fast as the bus. They are from 12 1/2 to 15 miles apart at the end of half an hour. Find the smallest and largest possible value of each rate.

Answer:

Smallest rate for the train is 50 mph and largest is 60 mph.

For the bus it is 25 and 30 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the speed of the train is 2x then speed of the bus is x mph, and the train travels twice as far as the bus in a given time.

Distance = speed * time

For the largest rate:

d =  2x * 0.5   for the train

x = d

0.5d  =  x       for the bus

d - 0.5d = 15

0.5d = 15

d = 30

So the rate for the train =  30 / 0.5 = 60 mph.

In a similar fashion we can show that the smallest rate for the train is

25/ 0.5 = 50 mph.

For each day that Sasha travels to work, the probability that she will experience a delay due to traffic is 0.2. Each day can be
Savatey [412]

Answer:

0.3277 = 32.77%

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want the probability for Sasha being late after the fifth day, we need that in the first five days she is not late, which has a probability of 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

So, multiplying the probability for each day, we have that:

P = 0.8 * 0.8 * 0.8 * 0.8 * 0.8 = 0.3277 = 32.77%

So we have a probability of 32.77% that Sasha's first delay will occur after the fifth day.

Brennan took a total of 16 pages of notes during 8 hours of class. After attending 10 hours of class, how many total pages of no
Nezavi [6.7K]
We use unitary method over here. To find out the number pages he writes in 1 hour we should;
16÷8 = 2.
So Brennan writes 2 pages in 1 hour.
Hence, in 10 hours he writes;
2 × 10 = 20.
∴ in ten hours Brennan writes 20 pages.
