The distance on a bike path between Westfield and Southborough is 46 mi. Tracey leaves Westfield heading to Southborough cycling

at a constant rate of 15 mph. Emma leaves her house at the same time and cycles along the same path from Southborough to meet Tracey. Her cycling rate is 8 mph. How many hours will it take until the two friends meet along the bike path?

Answer: 2 hr.

Explanation: Think back to rate of change. <em>d</em> = <em>rt</em>, <em>r</em> = <em>d/t</em>, <em>t</em> = <em>d/r</em>. In this case, we will be using <em>d</em> = <em>rt</em>. Mph would be <em>r</em>, rate, so you would categorize 15 mph and 8 mph under rate. <em>t</em> should represent the time each cyclist traveled. Tracey's and Emma's distance, <em>d</em>, would be the same as their mph, hence Tracey's being 15<em>t</em> and Emma's would be 8<em>t</em>. When you add Tracey's distance plus Emma's distance, you end up with 46 mi. Now, you need to combine like terms, which should look like 15<em>t</em> + 8<em>t </em> = 46. Add 15 and 8 to get 23, so it should be 23<em>t</em> = 46 now. Then, divide both sides of the equation by 23 and now you should have your answer, <em>t</em> = 2 hr.

1. Commutative property of multiplication This is because it represents a*b=b*a
2. Associative property of multiplication. Multiplication problems end with the same product no matter the order of factors.
3. Correct
4. Correct
5. Associative property of addition. Even though the grouping symbols are different, it is equivalent because you are adding all the terms together.
6. Correct

The last one should also be associative property since it applies every time you combine like terms.
Just a reminder: Distributive property is only when you multiply in the form of a(b+c)=ab+ac

What is the value of a in the equation 3a+b=54 when b=9
klemol [59]
3a + b = 54...when b = 9
3a + 9 = 54
3a = 54 - 9
3a = 45
a = 45/3
a = 15 <===

Answer:

5) 27/70

6) 90

Step-by-step explanation:

5) The first step in this problem is to figure out the amount of total spins. To do so, add up all of the numbers in the column "Frequency".

18 + 15 + 27 + 10 = 70.

Now, look at the amount of times the spinner landed on green. This is 27 times. So, the ratio of green spins to total spins is 27:70, or 27 out of 70 spins. Converting this to a fraction, we get the final answer, 27/70.

6) To solve this problem, we have to first do the same steps as the previous problem, but with the color red. There are 70 total spins, and 18 red spins. Therefore, the ratio is 18:70. However, this problem wants the total number of spins to be 350. In other words, 70 needs to become 350. To do this, multiply each side of the ratio by 5. The ratio becomes 90:350. Using this ratio, we can determine that a solid prediction is 90 red spins out of 350 total spins.

babymother [125]

Answer:

a) P (x is less than 11 minutes) =  0.55

P (x is more than 14 minutes) = 0.3

b) P (x is between 8 and 13 minutes) = 0.25

c)  P(x < c) =0.8 is 0.05 x c = 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

a) P (x is less than 11 minutes) = 11 x 0.05

                                                 = 0.55

P (x is more than 14 minutes) = 0.05 x (20 - 14)

                                                = 0.05 x 6

                                                = 0.3

b) P (x is between 8 and 13 minutes) = 0.05 x (13 -8)

                                                            = 0.05 x 5

                                                             = 0.25

c)  P(x < c) =0.8

The area between 0 and c is 0.8

Hence,

0.05 x c = 0.8
