Answer:

81 cars

756 trucks

63 wheelers

Step-by-step explanation:

1 mile = 5280 feet

So the jam is 10 miles = 52800 feet

Cars' length = 2 % of the 52800 = 1056 feet

Trucks' length =  29%  of the 52800= 15312 feet

Wheelers' length = 9%of the 52800= 4752 feet

Average car is 13 feet in length

The number of cars = 1056 feet/13= 81.23 almost 81 cars

The average truck is 20 feet in length

Number of trucks in 15312 feet=15312 feet/20= 765.6= 756 trucks

The average 18 wheeler is 75 feet in length.

Number of wheelers in 4752 feet= 4752 feet/75= 63.36= 63 wheelers

Semmy [17]

Answer:

Total = \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Carol = \frac{1}{8}

Luke = \frac{3}{8}

Required

How far did they row together

To do this, we simply add the distance they both covered.

Total = Carol + Luke

This gives;

Total = \frac{1}{8} + \frac{3}{8}

Take LCM

Total = \frac{1+3}{8}

Total = \frac{4}{8}

Simplify

Total = \frac{1}{2}

<em>Hence, they both rowed 1/2 mile</em>

You are playing a game where you draw a card from a standard deck, and you will win $13 if you draw a face card,
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

win

There are 3 face cards / suit. Every suit contains a Jack, Queen, and king.

There are 4 suits so the number of face cards is 3*4 =  12

There is 1 ace / suit

There are 4 suits so the number of aces is 1 * 4 = 4

The gain from the face cards = 12 * 13 = 156

The gain from the aces = 4 * 3 =               12

Total gain = 168

Losses

Any other card costs you $5

How many cards is that? 52 - 16 = 36

Each one costs 5 dollars

Total loss = 5 * 36 = 180

So each time you play the game, you can expect to lose 180 - 68 = 12 dollars. You should walk away quickly from this one.
