Answer:

225 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a tour bus averaged 50 miles per hours  between two cities on the first leg of  a trip and 45 miles per hour on the  return trip.

Let the distance be x.  Then we get time taken for to trip would be

\frac{distance}{time} = hours

For return trip time taken = \frac{x}{45}

The difference in time is 1 hour

\frac{x}{45}-\frac{x}{50}=1\\\frac{10x-9x}{450} =1\\x=450

Hence answer is 450 miles

Verify:

Going time=\frac{450}{50} =9 hrs

Return time = \frac{450}{45} =10 hrs

i.e. 1 hour more verified

Answer:

The distance between the cities is 50*4.5 = 225 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "t" be the time spent on the first leg at the average speed of 50 miles per hour.

Then (t+0.5) is the time spent on the returning trip at the average speed of 45 miles per hour.

Since the distance is the same in both directions, you have an equation

50*t = 45*(t+0.5).

Simplify and solve it for "t".

50t = 45t + 22.5,

5t = 22.5

Divide both sides by 5

t = 22.5/5

= 4.5.

Thus we found the time spent at the speed 50 mph. It is 4.5 hours.

Thus the distance between the cities is 50*4.5 = 225 miles

The distances male long jumpers for State College jump are approximately normal with a mean of 263 inches and a standard deviati
Effectus [21]

Answer:

His jump was of 272.45 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 263, \sigma = 14

75th percentile

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.75. So X when Z = 0.675

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

0.675 = \frac{X - 263}{14}

X - 263 = 14*0.675

X = 272.45

His jump was of 272.45 inches

A rectangle is 3 times as long as it is wide. the perimeter is 16 feet. find the dimensions ​
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Width = 2 feet

Length = 6 feet

Explanation:

Variables:

Perimeter = p

Length = l

Width = w

Equation:

2w + 2l = p

It is given that:

l = 3w

and

p = 16 feet

With this information, we can rewrite the equation (substitute)

2w + 2(3w) = 16

Simplify

2w + 6w = 16

Add

8w = 16

Divide both sides of the equation by 8

Width = 2 feet

Length = 3(w) = 3(2) = 6 feet

Hope this helps :)
