Answer:

  4/13

Step-by-step explanation:

Driving time is ...

  time = distance/speed

Then the ratio of times is ...

  6/20 : 6/30 : 6/40

  = 3/10 : 1/5 : 3/20

If we multiply by 20, we can get integer ratios:

  = 6 : 4 : 3

The middle ratio number represents the time spent at 30 mph, and the total of all ratio numbers represents the total driving time. Then the fraction spent at 30 mph is ...

  4/(6+4+3) = 4/13

_____

Total driving time was 13/20 hours, or 39 minutes. Of that time, 12 minutes was spent driving at 30 mph.

Answer this question please.
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability both spiners land on red: 0,5*0,6=0,3 (0,5 is A spine lands on red and 0,6 is B spiner lands on red)

The number of both spiners land on red is 84.

So we have:

X——>100%

84——->30%

X=8400/30

X=280

The total number of all spines A and B for onse.

The probability to both spiners land on blue is:

0,5*0,4=0,2 (0,5 is probabiliti to A lands on blue, 0,4 is B lands on blue)

The number of both spiners land on blue is:

280*0,2=56
