The answer is 28 miles.

Displacement is not the same as distance. Total distance would be the sum of two distances: 40 + 12 = 52 miles.
However, displacement is the shortest distance from the initial and final position. Take a look at the attached image. Displacement is the difference of two distances:
D = 40 - 12 = 28 miles

40-20=20 you would be in the middle of the 2 miles. do the math and you will get your answer the same way that i did.

What is the possibility that a red or green marble will be selected from a bag containing 9 red marbles, 6 blue marbles , 7 gree
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

16/33

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a bag of :

9 red marbles

6 blue marbles

7 green marbles

11 yellow marbles

Total number of marbles = 33 marbles.

The possibility that a red or green marble will be selected from a bag

P( Red or Green) = P(Red) + P(Green)

In the question we are not told if it is with replacement or without. We do both

With replacement

P( R or G) = P(Red) + P(Green)

P(Red)= 9/33

P(Green) = 7/33

= 9/33 + 7/33

= 16/33

Therefore, the possibility that a red or green marble will be selected from a bag is 16/33

Lucy rolls 2 fair dice and adds the results from each.
stellarik [79]

Answer:

The probability is 7/36

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the probability that when we roll two fair dice, the sum of two numbers on both dies equal to 5.

Before we go on answering the question, we need to know the number of elements in our sample space. What this means is that we need to know the number of results we can have. The total number of results we can have is 6 * 6 = 36

Now, the next thing to know is how many of our results would yield a multiple of 5 each. Now let’s look at the attachment for the tabular representation we have.

Now, looking at our table, we can see that we have 7 circled results where we have a possibility of a multiple of 5.

The probability is thus the number of these additions divided by the total number of outputs= 7/36
