Curtis rides his bike 9 miles one way then turns around and rides back. On the return trip, his speed is increased 20% because t

he wind is at his back. Let s be his speed in miles per hour riding against the wind. What is an expression that represents his total time in hours riding there and back?

Answer:

The expression that represents his total time is given by "t = 7.5/s" where s is his speed against the wind.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we will assign a variable to Curtis speed on the first leg of the trip, this will be called "s". Since the speed on the first part is "s" and the speed on the second part is 20% higher, then the speed on the second part is "1.2s". Each leg of the course is 9 miles long, therefore the time it took to go each way is given by:

time = distance/speed

First part:

t1 = 9/s

Second part:

t2 = 9/1.2s = 7.5/s

The expression for the whole course is the sum of each, so we have:

t = t1 + t2

t = 9/s + 7.5/s

t = (9 + 7.5)/s = (16.5)/s

In a coordinate plane what is the difference between (-3 1/2, 4) and (2 1/2)?​
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

?

Step-by-step explanation:

By difference I think you mean how far away from? I don't really know what you mean by this but I will try to help.

1/2-4=-3 1/2

2-(-3 1/2)=5 1/2

<u>-3 1/2</u>

5 1/2

Above is a fraction.

I hope that I helped. Sorry if it wasn't the answer you were looking for.

A dictionary contains the following 9 words: two, mice, three, squeaking, the, blind, deaf, birds, rabbits. What is the probabil
IgorC [24]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is B. 1/729</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Probability of any of the nine words would be randomly cited.

Using the Laplace Rule, we calculate that probability is 1/9

2. Now let's calculate the probability of any two - word phrase in specific order from those nine in the dictionary. We should remember that the probability of occurrence of two or more statistically independent events is equal to the product of their individual probabilities. So,

1/9 * 1/9 = 1/81

3. Using the same Multiplication Rule, we can calculate the probability of a random generation of the phrase "three blind mice", in that specific order. Because there are other phrases that could be generated with those three words, but in different order.  The question was specific about the order.

1/9 * 1/9 * 1/9 = 1/729

<u>The probability of randomly generating the phrase "three blind mice" is 1/729 or 0.137%</u>
