there is 1 number 3 on a 6 sided die
so the probability or rolling a 3 is 1/6
Answer:
h\
Step-by-step explanation:
As soon as you see "How many times . . .", that usually tells you that finding the answer involves <em>division</em>. (It certainly does in this one.)
(1.2 x 10⁵) / (4.9 x 10³) =
(1.2/4.9) x (10⁵⁻³) =
0.245 x 10² = <em>24.5 times</em>
It looks like <em>B</em> is the closest choice.
Let the walker’s speed be W, then the biker’s is W+1.5W=2.5W. Difference in speed is 1.5W. Distance=speed times time, so 12.5=1.5W×1.5=2.25W, and W=12.5/2.25=1250/225=50/9=5.56 mph. The biker’s speed is 2.5W=125/9=13.89 mph to 2 Dec places.
(Note: “1.5 times faster than a walker’s speed” could not reasonably mean the biker’s speed=1.5W because this would give W=16.67 mph, which is very fast for a runner, let alone a walker (!), and a biker’s speed of 25mph.)
