Answer: the speed of the wind is 1.5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the wind.

Time = distance/speed

Craig can ride his bike at an average rate of 14 miles per hour in calm air. Traveling with the wind, his total speed would be (14 + x) mph

Time taken to travel 62 miles with the wind would be

62/(14 + x)

In the same amount of time it took him to ride 50 miles against the wind. His total speed would be

(14 - x) mph. Time taken to travel 50 miles is

50/(14 - x)

Since the time is the same, then

62/(14 + x) = 50/(14 - x)

Cross multiplying, it becomes

62(14 - x) = 50(14 + x)

868 - 62x = 700 + 50x

- 62x - 50x = 700 - 868

- 112x = - 168

x = - 168/-112

x = 1.5

What does 3 over 8 simplify to

To simplify, we need to find a number that can divide both the numerator and denominator equally. Can you find a number that will do this? I can't. So it is already simplified.

In a version of the game of roulette, a steel ball is rolled onto a wheel that contains 19 red, 19 black and 2 green slots. If t
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The probability is 0.3576

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability for the ball to fall into the green ball in one roll is 2/1919+2 = 2/40 = 1/20. The probability for the ball to roll into other color is, therefore, 19/20.

For 25 rolls, the probability for the ball to never fall into the green color is obteined by powering 19/20 25 times, hence it is 19/20^25 = 0.2773

To obtain the probability of the ball to fall once into the green color, we need to multiply 1/20 by 19/20 powered 24 times, and then multiply by 25 (this corresponds on the total possible positions for the green roll). The result is 1/20* (19/20)^24 *25 = 0.3649

The exercise is asking us the probability for the ball to fall into the green color at least twice. We can calculate it by substracting from 1 the probability of the complementary event: the event in which the ball falls only once or 0 times. That probability is obtained from summing the disjoint events: the probability for the ball falling once and the probability of the ball never falling. We alredy computed those probabilities.

As a result. The probability that the ball falls into the green slot at least twice is 1- 0.2773-0.3629 = 0.3576

Write the sum of 5x2 + 2x - 10 and 2x2 + 6 as a polynomial in standard form.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

7x^2+2x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

a standard form is ax+by=c

5x^2 add 2x^2=7x^2 then -2x but when you have a -10 +6 you get -4 giving you the answer of 7x^2 +2x -4
