Mary's house is approximately 49.73 miles from her grandmother's house.

The distances the three drove were;

Mary drove for 49.73 miles, Theo drove 50 miles and Nancy drove 53.299 miles.

Explanation:

  • The given triangle has a 13 mile long adjacent side, a 48 mile long opposite side and the distance of Mary's route is the hypotenuse. As we have two sides of the triangle, we can solve for the length of the other side by using Pythagoras' theorem.
  • Assume the hypotenuse of the triangle measures x miles. According to Pythagoras theorem, x = √(13² + 48²) , x = √169 + 2,304 x = √2,473 = 49.729. Rounding this off, we get Mary's route was 49.73 miles long.
  • Nancy drove √2,840 miles = 53.2916 miles.
  • So Mary drove the shortest distance of 49.73 miles, second shortest was Theo who drove for 50 miles and the longest was Nancy who drove for 53.299 miles.

A bag contains only red and blue marbles. Yasmine takes one marble at random from the bag. The probability that she takes a red
mamaluj [8]

Let red marbles = X.

The probability is 1 out of 5, written as 1/5

1/5 in terms of red marbles is equal to the number of red marbles divided by 5x, where 5x is the total number of marbles.

1/5 = x/5x 

Now you have 5x total marbles, x red and 4x blue. 

Add 5 more red and the new probability is: 

(x+5)/(5x+5) = 1/3 

Simplify:

3x+15 = 5x+5 

Now solve for x:

Subtract 3x from both sides:

15 = 2x +5

Subtract 5 from each side:

2x = 10 

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 10/2

X = 5

There were originally 5 red marbles.

Tank 1 initially contains 50 gals of water with 10 oz of salt in it, while tank 2 initially contains 20 gals of water with 15 oz
Naddik [55]
\dfrac{\mathrm dx_1}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{2\text{ oz}}{1\text{ gal}}\dfrac{5\text{ gal}}{1\text{ min}}-\dfrac{x_1(t)\text{ oz}}{50\text{ gal}}\dfrac{5\text{ gal}}{1\text{ min}}
\dfrac{\mathrm dx_2}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{x_1(t)\text{ oz}}{50\text{ gal}}\dfrac{5\text{ gal}}{1\text{ min}}-\dfrac{x_2(t)\text{ oz}}{20\text{ gal}}\dfrac{5\text{ gal}}{1\text{ min}}

\implies\begin{cases}\dfrac{\mathrm dx_1}{\mathrm dt}=10-\dfrac1{10}x_1\\\\\dfrac{\mathrm dx_2}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac1{10}x_1-\dfrac14x_2\\\\x_1(0)=10\\\\x_2(0)=15\end{cases}
