Answer:

Alan: 200 m/min

Brian: 150 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:    

Given : Two cyclists, Alan and Brian, are racing around oval track of length 450m on the same direction simultaneously from the same point. Alan races around the track in 45 seconds before Brian does and overtakes him every 9 minutes.

To find : What are their rates, in meters per minute?

Solution :

Let n represent the number of laps that Alan completes in 9 minutes.

Then n-1 is the number of laps Brian completes.

45 seconds = 3/4 minutes.

The difference in their lap times in minutes per lap is

\frac{9}{(n -1)}-\frac{9}{n} =\frac{3}{4}

Solving the equation we get,

\frac{9n-9n+9}{n(n -1)} =\frac{3}{4}

9\times 4=3\times n(n -1)

36=3\times n(n -1)

n^2-n-12=0

n^2-4n+3n-12=0

n(n-4)+3(n-4)=0

(n-4)(n+3)=0

n=4,-3

Neglecting n=-3

So, n=4

Then Alan's speed in m/min is

S=\frac{D}{T}

S_a=\frac{4\times 450}{9}

S_a=200 m/min

Brian completes 3 laps in that 9-minute time, so his rate is

S_b=\frac{3\times 450}{9}

S_b=150 m/min

Therefore, Alan: 200 m/min

Brian: 150 m/min

Rewrite the expression using the GCF and distributive property. (110-44)
Afina-wow [57]

let me divide your question into two parts A and B as;

A.Rewrite the expression using the GCF and distributive property. (110-44)

B.how many 24-foot jump ropes can be made from a rope that is 100 feet long?

Answer:

A.(110-44)=22(5-2)

B. 4 jump ropes of 24 feet length

Step-by-step explanation:

A.Rewrite the expression using the GCF and distributive property. (110-44

Answer:

Find the GCF of 110 and 44 then take that GCF as common factor out of (110-44) then we can get new expression for (110-44) as 22(5-2) i.e.

prime factorization of 110=2x5x11

and 44=2x2x11

GCf is the product of factors that appear in both of the prime factorization which is 2x11=22

thus using GCF (22) as common factor we can rewrite the given expression as

22(5-2) which is distributive law of multiplication over subtraction.

B.how many 24-foot jump ropes can be made from a rope that is 100 feet long?

Answer:

Given

Total length of the rope =100 feet

length of a jump rope =24

solution:

For one jump-rope we need 24 feet

For two jump-ropes we need 48 feet

For three jump-ropes we need 72 feet

For four jump-ropes we need 96 feet

thus from a 100 feet long rope we can make 4 jump-ropes of 24 feet length with 6 feet remaining as extra.

Which of the following interpretations of the mean is​ correct? A. The observed number of hits per game will be equal to the mea
sineoko [7]

Answer:

C. Over the course of many​ games, one would expect the mean number of hits per game to be the mean of the random variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is the ratio of sum of observations to the total number of observation.

It represent the whole data. Thus, Mean of hits per game is the mean of those hits of game. Thus, option C is correct.

mean is based on all the observation not few or most. Thus Option A is incorrect.

Observations are different from mean, So hits per game can be different from the mean of hits of game. Thus, Option B is incorrect.

The Mean of hits per game can be less and more from half of the observation. It is totally depends on the value of the observations. Thus, We can't chose option D as correct.
