Answer:

2.8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = rate * time

If the west-bound train travels at a rate of 80 mph for t hours, then the distance it travels is 80t.  

If the east-bound train travels at a rate of 90 mph for t hours, then the distance it travels is 90t.

The distance between the trains after t hours is 476; therefore, the distance of the west-bound train plus the distance of the east-bound train equals the total distance between them, 476:

80t + 90t = 476 and

170t = 476 so

t = 2.8 hours

Two different sizes of square metal duct are joined by a piece that is a frustum of a pyramid. Find the lateral surface area, if
Allisa [31]

Answer:

288 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula used to solve this question is :

Lateral Surface Area = s( P1 + P2)

Where s = slant height = 2 inches

P1 and P2 = Perimeter of the bases

Perimeter of base 1 = 4 × length of the end of the small square

4 × 17 inches = 68 inches

Perimeter of base 2 = 4 × length of the end of the large square

4 × 19 inches = 76 inches

Lateral Surface Area = 2 × (68 + 76)

= 2 × 144

= 288 in²

A construction company plans to invest in a building project. There is a 30% chance that the company will lose $30,000, a 40% ch
Gnom [1K]

Answer: Option 'A' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

30% chance that the company will lose $30000.

40% chance of a break even that there is no loss and no profit.

30% chance that the company will profit $ 60000.

As we know the formula for "Expectation":

So, Expected value will be

\frac{30}{100}\times (-30000)+\frac{40}{100}\times 0+\frac{30}{100}\times 60000\\\\=03\times (-30000)+0.4\times 0+0.3\times 60000\\\\=-9000+18000\\\\=\$9000

Expected value is $9000. So, the company should proceed with the project.

Hence, Option 'A' is correct.

Devin's DVD case has 3 rows of slots, but 5 slots are broken.If x equals the number of slots in a row explain how the expression
Paul [167]

Answer:

The total number of unbroken / working slots

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Devin's DVD case has 3 rows of slots, but 5 slots are broken

Also given that the number of slots in a row is x

1 row has x slots

3 rows has y slots

on cross multiplication we get y = 3x

ie there are a total of 3x slots in the 3 rows

Given that out of these 3x slots 5 . of the slots are broken

Therefore the total number of working slots = total number of slots - number of slots which are broken

total number of working slots are = 3x - 5

Therefore the given expression is the number of working / good slots
