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 = 0.4857≈ 0.486

Answer:
2 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x mph be the speed of motorboat in still water and y mph be the speed of current.
A raft and a motorboat simultaneously leave from the same point and move down the river, then speeds down the river are:
motorboat = x + y mph
raft = y mph
In two hours they will cover:
motorboat = 2(x+y) miles
raft = 2y miles
After 2 hours the motorboat turns around and starts moving towards the raft (against the current), so its speed is now x - y mph.
Let t be the time they move towards each other. In t hours, they cover
motorboat = t(x - y) miles
raft = ty miles
The distance from the starting point to the turning point is the same as the sum of the distances the raft covers and the motorboat covers after turning around, so
