Answer:

0.575

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two types of probabilities:

1. Theoretical Probability

2. Experimental Probability

The probability based on mathematical theories is called theoretical probability. It is not always true. i.e. the probability of getting a head in a toss of coin is 1/2 or 0.5 or 50%

Experimental probability is based on experiments. Experimental probability is always going to change whenever the experiment is performed.

The theoretical probability of getting a head while tossing a coin will always be 50% while experimental probability might be different the next time, experiment is performed.

In this case, the experimental probability will be 23/40 or 0.575 ..

If a car is traveling at 50kph, how long would it take for the car to travel 12.5km?
Amanda [17]

Answer:

4 km

Step-by-step explanation:

T = time

D = distance

S = speed

the forumla to find the distance is

T * S = D

manipulate the equation for this problem:

D/S = T

Plug-in the known values

D = 12.5 km

S = 50kph
