Answer:

<u>Dave drove 168 miles during the 2nd part of the trip</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Speed of Dave for part of the trip = 55 mph

Speed of Dave the rest of the trip = 60 mph

Total time of the round trip = 4 hours 12 minutes

Total distance of the trip = 245 miles

2. How far did Dave drive during the 2nd part of his trip?

Let's recall that the formula of speed is:

Speed = Distance/Time, therefore Distance = Speed * Time

x = Time of part of the trip

4 hours 12 minutes - x = Time of the rest of the trip

4.2 hours - x = Time of the rest of the trip

Now, we can write solve for x, this way:

55 * x + 60 (4.2 - x) = 245

55x + 252 - 60x = 245

-5x = 245 - 252

-5x = -7

x = -7/-5 = 7/5 = 1.4 ⇒ 4.2 - x = 2.8

1st part of the trip = 55 * 1.4 = 77 miles

2nd part of the trip = 2.8 * 60 = 168 miles

<u>Dave drove 168 miles during the 2nd part of the trip and 77 miles during the 1st part</u>

nadezda [96]

Answer:

The correct answer is 4294967296 possible ways to complete such a test.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

The first step is to define the fundamental principle of counting. The fundamental principle of counting states that if a process can be carried out in n steps, where there are n_1  ways to complete the first step, n_2 ways to complete the second step, n_3, and n_k ways to complete the k^{th} step, this process can be carried out in  n_1\times n_2\times n_3\times ...\times n_k ways.

Step 2

We use the fundamental principle of counting with n=4 for a total of k=16 steps.  This test can be carried out in 4^{16}=4294967296 ways. This comes from multiplying 4 by itself 16 times.

What is an equation of a line in point slope form that passes through the points (7,-8) and (-4,6)?
maw [93]

y=kx+b

for (7,-8): -8=7k+b. (function 1)

for (-4,6): 6=-4k+b (function 2)

Use function 2 - function 1

we get: 14=-11k

k=-14/11------>slope is -14/11

Now we know that first two options are wrong since they have the wrong slope for the function.

Plus -14/11 back to function 1/ or 2. Both are correct and can give you the answer. In this case I would plug it back to function 2.

6=14*4/11+b

b=66/11-56/11

b=10/11

We get y=-14/11x+10/11

subtract both side by 6.

y-6=-14/11x+10/11-66/11

y-6=-14/11x-56/11

y-6=-14/11(x+4)

So C is correct

irga5000 [103]
To find the experimental probability, you will add the outcomes that resulted in even number and make that a ratio to the total number of outcomes.

<u>(12 + 14 + 18)</u>
(13 + 12 + 12 +14 + 11 + 18)

44/80 = 0.55
0.55 = 55%

The answer is choice D.

Which figures can be precisely defined by using only undefined terms? Select three options.
love history [14]

This is a pretty bad question but I think the answer they're looking for is

angle

circle

line segment

We define arcs in terms of circles and parallel lines in terms of lines (though not necessarily line segments, so this is a bit of a judgement call).
