Answer:

The answer to your question is 1 5/7 or 1.7 hours ≈ 1:43 min

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Bob lasts 3 hours

Fred lasts 4 hours

Together = ?

Process

1.- Determine what they do in 1 hour

Bob = 1/3  in x hours   x/3

Fred = 1/4 in x hours   x/4

2.- Write the equation to this problem

         x/3 + x/4 = 1

3.- Solve it for x

       (4x + 3x)/12 = 1

                      7x = 12

                        x = 12/7

                        x = 1 5/7 or 1.7 hours ≈ 1:43 min

Sound travels about 335 meters/second. How many kilometers would a sound travel in 1 minute?
Lelechka [254]
If sounds travel 335 meters in 1 second , in 1 minute it travels 60 times that distance :

335m × 60 = 20100 meters
Sounds travel 20100 meters per minute
if 1000 meters = 1 km ,
20100 meters = 20100/1000 km
20100 meters = 20.1 Km

Awnser : Sound would travel 20.1 km in one minute

Anyone know the answer please teach me
Semenov [28]

Answer: Look at step by step

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) There are 119 stocks that increased in price out of 246 stocks so the probability of selecting a stock that is increased in price is 119/246 = 48.37%

(b) There are 112 stocks where it pays dividends so the probability so the probability of selecting a stock that pays dividends is 112/246 = 45.53%

(c) There are 49 stocks which satisfy the question so the probability is 49/246 = 19.92%

(e) There are 34 stocks which increase in price and pay dividends out of the 119 stocks that increase in price so the probability is 34/119 = 28.57%

(f) Using the same logic as (e), the probability is 85/134 = 63.43%

(g) From the requirements, we see that 49 stocks don't satisfy the requirements, so the probability is (246-49)/246 = 80.08%
