A car passes a landmark on a highway traveling at a constant rate of 45 kilometers per hour. One hour later, a second car passes

<u>Answer:</u>

2 hours 15 mins

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We know,

the speed of car 1 = 45 kilometers per hour; and

the speed of car 2 = 65 kilometers per hour

Assuming the time for the 2nd car to catch the 1st one to be t, we can write the distance equation:

65t=45t+45

65t-45t=45

20t=45

t=45/20

t=2.25

2.25 hours = 2 hours + (0.25 * 60) min = 2 hours 15 mins

Therefore, it takes 2 hours 15 mins for the second car to overtake first car after it passes the landmark.

A car passes a landmark on a highway traveling at a constant rate of 45 kilometers per hour.

Let t be the time taken by second car

So t+1 is the time taken by first car

Distance = speed * time

Distance traveled by first car = 45 * (t+1)

second car passes the same landmark traveling in the same direction at 65 kilometers per hour

Distance traveled by second  car = 65 * (t)

When second car overtakes the first car then their distance are same

65 t = 45(t+1)

65t = 45t + 45

Subtract 45 t from both sides

20t = 45

Divide both sides by 20

so t = \frac{45}{20}=\frac{9}{4}=2.25

It took 2.25 hours for the second car to overtake first car

Ashley, Bob, Claire, and Daniel are among 13 students who entered a lottery to win a free vacation to Paris.
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

0.0014 = 0.14% probability that Ashley, Bob, Claire, and Daniel will be chosen.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the students are chosen is not important, so the combinations formula is used to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

Desired outcomes:

4 students from a set of 4(Ashley, Bob, Claire, and Daniel). So

D = C_{4,4} = \frac{4!}{4!(4-4)!} = 1

Total outcomes:

4 students from a set of 13(number of students in the lottery). So

T = C_{13,4} = \frac{13!}{4!(13-4)!} = 715

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{1}{715} = 0.0014

0.0014 = 0.14% probability that Ashley, Bob, Claire, and Daniel will be chosen.

Solve the equation 2x+3/3 - 3x/2=-4<br>Fast please
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the equation is

\frac{2x+3}{3} - \frac{3x}{2} = - 4

Multiply through by 6 ( the LCM of 3 and 2 ) to clear the fractions

2(2x + 3) - 9x = - 24

4x + 6 - 9x = - 24

- 5x + 6 = - 24 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

- 5x = - 30 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

x = 6

5) Last week a Pizza Hut sold 36 cheese pizzas, 64 pepperoni pizzas, and 20 veggie pizzas. Based on these data, which number is
Goshia [24]

Answer:

P(Cheese) = 0.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Cheese = 36

Pepperoni = 64

Veggie = 20

Required

P(Cheese)

This is calculated as:

P(Cheese) = \frac{Cheese}{Total}

P(Cheese) = \frac{36}{36+64+20}

P(Cheese) = \frac{36}{120}\\

P(Cheese) = 0.30
