Why do you divide by 60 after calculating the area of the trapezoid (to calculate the distance)? I got 900 but I don’t know why

you divide by 60 to get 15 as your answer. Ignore the pen marks.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What you are trying to do is a nice way to solve this problem. Without knowing any physics, you are using what math you know to get the answer. You are actually very close to being correct, and you are right. You do have to divide by 60.

Here's why and it is the one bit of physics you have to know.

The speed is km/hour. That word hour is the culprit. Your time is in minutes and you have to get it into hours. In physics, the units have to be consistent.

So ...

b1 = 19 minutes which is 19 min [1 hour / 60 minutes] = 19/60 = 0.31667 hour

b2 = 26 minutes which is 26 min [ 1 hour/60 minutes] =  26/60 = 0.4333 hour

h = 40 km/hour

Area = (0.31667 hour + 0.4333 hour)*40 km/hour /2

Area = 0.75 hour * 40 km/hr //2

Area = 15 km

Answer:

y = 4x+6

The input is 11 when the output is 50

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the slope of this function using 2 points

(3,18) and (0,6) are two points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) is the formula for slope

  =(6-18)/(0-3)

  -12/-3

  =4

The slope is 4

We know the y intercept.  It is the value when x =0.  The y intercept is 6

We can use the slope intercept form of the equation

y = mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

y = 4x+6

We want to know the input when the output is 50 (or y=50)

50 = 4x+6

Subtract 6 from each side

50-6 = 4x+6-6

44 = 4x

Divide by 4

44/4 = 4x/4

11=x

The input is 11

(a) ^{6}C_1 * ^{6}C_1 = 36 different possibilities
(b) P(even die 1): \frac{1}{2}
P(even die 2): \frac{1}{2}

So, there is a 1 in 4 chance that both dice will show an even.
