4 hours

using the formula

distance = speed × time (t)

the Ford will have travelled 3 × 40 = 120 miles before the Chevy leaves

the Ford's distance can be modelled as

distance = 40t + 120

the Chevy's distance can be modelled as

distance = 70t

equating the right sides and solve for t

70 t = 40t + 120 ( subtract 40t from both sides )

30t = 120 ( divide both sides by 30 )

t = 4

the Chevy catches up with the Ford after 4 hours

In a certain city , the hourly wage of workers on temporary employment crontracts is normally distributed. The mean is $15 and t
Doss [256]

Answer:

16%

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is $15 and the standar deviation is $3.

mean = 15  and SD = 3

We need to find percentage less than 12 per hour

P(x<12)= P(x=12)

to find P(x=12) we find z-score

z= \frac{x-mean}{SD} =\frac{12-15}{3} =-1

Now use z-score table . z-score = 0.1587

P(x=12)=0.1587

To get percentage we multiply by 100

0.1587 * 100 = 15.87 = 16%

Can y’all help me please
matrenka [14]

Answer:

w = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by

P = 2(l+w)

28 = 2(2w-1 + w)

Combine like terms

28 =2(3w-1)

Divide each side by 2

28/2 = 2/2(3w-1)

14 = 3w-1

Add 1 to each side

14+1 = 3w-1+1

15 = 3w

Divide each side by 3

15/3 =3w/3

5 =w

5/8 divided by 3/4 what the answer
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

20/24. Simplified answer is 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

5/8 divided by 3/4 is the same as asking 5/8 times 4/3

When dividing a number by a fraction, you can always just multiply by the fraction with its numerator and denominator switched!

So, now we have 5/8 times 4/3

Step 1: Multiply the numerators together. 5 times 4 = 20

Step 2: Multiply the denominators together. 8 times 3 = 24

Step 3: Put the new numerator over the new denominator. 20 over 24 is 20/24

Step 4: Simplify the fraction if necessary. 20 and 24 share a common factor of 4, so divide both the numerator and denominator by 4.  

20 divided by 4 = 5

24 divided by 4 = 6

So, 20/24 is equal to 5/6.
