Because the earth is round, the distance seen on a flat map is a lot further than the distance on a globe, because of distortion. So following the circle that goes through these 3 points ( Florida, Alaska and the Philippines) it is a shorter distance to fly over Alaska.

Help! Please? The ratio (by volume) of milk in a certain solution is 3 to 8. If the total volume of the solution is 187 cubic fe
DIA [1.3K]
We know that the total volume of the solution is 187 cubic feet.
187=3x+8x
187=11x
17=x
Now we know that the ratio 3 to 8 is 51 to 136.
Double check, (3*17)+(8*17)=187.
I'm not sure which part of the ratio is water, but knowing this information, you should be able to solve it. I believe it may be this:
The total volume of milk is 51. If the rest of the solution is water, then 187-51=136.

To solve for P(QIR) we use the formula:
P(QIR)=[P(Q∩R)]/P(R)
But from the diagram:
P(Q∩R)=3/22
P(R)=7/22
hence
P(QIR)=3/22÷7/22=3/7
