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>

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:a) P(8 of the players numbers are drawn)=1.3×10^-8

b) P(7 of the players number are drrawn)=3.33×10^-c) P(at least 6 of the players number were drawn)=1.84×10^-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Players has 8 combinations of numbers from 1-40. The outcome S contains all the combinations of 8 out of 40

a) P(8 of the players numbers are drawn)= 1/40/8= 1.3×10^-8

There are one in hundred million chances that the draw numbers are precisely the chosen ones.

b) Number of ways of drawing 78 selected numbers from 1-40=8×(40-7)

8×32

P(7 of the players number are drawn)=8×32/40 =3.33×10^-6.

There are approximately 300,000 chances that 7 of the players numbers are chosen

c) P(at least 6 players numbers are drawn)= 32/2×(8/6) ways to draw.

P(at least 6 players numbers are drawn)=P(all 8 chosen are drawn)+P(7 players numbers drawn)+P(6 chosen are drawn) = 1+ 8 x32/40/8 +[8\6 ×32/2]

P(at least 6 players numbers are drawn) = 1.84×10^-4.

There are approximately 5400chances that at least6 of the numbers drawn are chosen by the player.

Which of the following inequalities is best represented by this graph?
Nataly [62]
For this case, the first thing to do is find the equation of the line correctly and then see which of the inequalities represents the shaded region.
 We have then:
 5x - y = 2
 For x = 0 
 5 (0) - y = 2
 -y = 2
 y = -2
 For y = 0
 5x - 0 = 2
 5x = 2
 x = 2/5 = 0.4
 Therefore the line is:
 5x - y = 2 
 Then, we see that for the point (0, 0)
 5x - y ≥ 2
 5 (0) - (0) ≥ 2
 0 ≥ 2
 The inequality is not met, which is correct because this point is not part of the shaded region.
 Answer:
 The inequality that best is represented by the graph if: 
 5x - y ≥ 2
