Answer:

It will take 1.47 hours for the horse and clown to collide

Step-by-step explanation:

They are driving toward each other, in opposite directions.

So to find their speed of approximation, we add their speeds.

19 mph + 15 mph = 34 mph.

This means that each hour, they are 34 miles closer.

How long it takes for them to find each other if they are 50 miles apart?

1 hour - 34 miles

x hours - 50 miles

34x = 50

x = \frac{50}{34}

x = 1.47

It will take 1.47 hours for the horse and clown to collide

he actual weights of 10 sample “1 lb packages” of meat are found to be: sample 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 weight 1.01 1.03 0.98 0.99 1
Viefleur [7K]
To do this problem, add up all the numbers and divide by the amount of numbers:

1.01+1.03+.98+.99+1.01+1.02+.98+1.05+.97+.98
10.02

Now divide by 10 (the amount of samples)

10.02/10
1.002

The Mean of the Data Set is 1.002

Hope this helps!
