Answer:

The correct answer is 0.486.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of employees at the home office of Gibraltar Insurance Company is 270 + 340 = 610

Number of employees on flex time are 350, out of which 170 are men and 180 are women.

We need to find the probability that out of the given employees, a randomly chosen one is on flex time and is a man.

Favorable outcomes are 170 and total outcome is 350.

Thus the probability is given by \frac{170}{350} = 0.4857≈ 0.486

Jim is trying to improve his speed on the track so he can qualify for the State Championships. As he is running, he goes from 70
kumpel [21]

Answer:

His acceleration is \frac{1}{15} meters per seconds²

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of the speed

The formula of acceleration is a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t} , where

  • v_{f} is the final speed
  • v_{i} is the initial speed
  • The unit of the acceleration is meters/second²

∵ Jim goes from 70 meters/minute (beginning speed) to

   106 meters/minute (final speed) in 9 seconds

∴ His initial speed v_{i} = 70 meters/minute

- Change it the meter per second

∵ 1 minute = 60 seconds

∴ \frac{70}{(1)(60)}=\frac{70}{60}=\frac{7}{6}  meters/second

∴ v_{i} = \frac{7}{6}  meters/second

∵ His final speed v_{f} = 106 meters/minute

- Change it the meter per second

∴ \frac{106}{(1)(60)}=\frac{106}{60}=\frac{53}{30}  meters/second

∴ v_{f} = \frac{53}{30}  meters/second

∵ The time of the change of his speed is 9 seconds

∴ t = 9

∵ The formula of acceleration is a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}

- Substitute the values of t, v_{i}  and v_{f} in the formula above

∴  a=\frac{\frac{53}{30}-\frac{7}{6}}{9}=\frac{1}{15}

∴ His acceleration is \frac{1}{15} meters per seconds²
