Good to see you here. Now back to the train. 

Kaduna, K                                                                                   Lagos, L
 
Train leaves at 64 km/h

One hour late second train leaves Lagos at 96 km/h.

At the point they meet, if first train has been travelling for "x" hours. Second train has been travelling for (x-1) hour.

At the point the meet, the total distance travelled is equal to 624 km.

Therefore:

64(x) + 96(x-1) = 624
64x + 96x - 96 = 624
160x = 624+96
160x =       720             , x = 720/160 = 4.5

So when they meet, the first train which left Kaduna has travelled= 64x = 64*4.5= 288km from Kaduna.

So it is (624-288) km from Lagos. = 336 Km from Lagos.

Second train which left Lagos has travelled = 96(x-1) = 96(4.5-1) = 336km.
The second train is also 336 km away from Lagos.

Cheers.

This season, the probability that the Yankees will win a game is 0.6 and the probability that the Yankees will score 5 or more r
juin [17]

Answer:

Since this season, the probability that the Yankees will win a game is 0.6 The probability that the Yankees will lose when they score 5 or more runs is 19.2%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this season, the probability that the Yankees will win a game is 0.6 and the probability that the Yankees will score 5 or more runs in a game is 0.48, and he probability that the Yankees lose and score fewer than 5 runs is 0.33, To determine what is the probability that the Yankees will lose when they score 5 or more runs, the following calculation must be performed:

(1 - 0.6) x 0.48 = X

0.40 x 0.48 = X

0.192 = X

0.192 x 100 = 19.2

Therefore, the probability that the Yankees will lose when they score 5 or more runs is 19.2%.

Part A: What is the measure of angle x? Show your work. (5 points)
stepan [7]

Answer:

angle x=40

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle CD on the bottom is a 180 angle. If you subtract it by 110 it's 70. The two bottom angles are equal so it also equals 70, add them and you get 140. Subtract 180 by 140 and it means x=40!
