Answer:

3 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Two cyclists leave town at the same time on the same road going in  the same direction.

Cyclist A is going 6 mph faster than cyclist B

Let speed of cyclist B be x mph

Speed of cyclist A be (x+6) mph

Both cyclist leave town at the same time and traveled 8 hours.  

  • Distance covered by cyclist A in 8 hours= 8(x+6)
  • Distance covered by cyclist B in 8 hours= 8x

After 8 hours cyclist A has traveled 3 times the distance as cyclist B

Therefore, 8(x+6) = 3(8x)

8x + 48 = 24x

24x - 8x = 48

       16x = 48

          x = 3 mph

Hence, The speed of cyclist B was 3 mph

castortr0y [4]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

heyq


The correct answer is:


7/10


Explanation:


Finding the totals of each column and row, we find:


There are 3+2+1 = 6 children in the baseball league.

There are 7+2+1 = 10 children in the softball league.

There are 3+7 = 10 children in the 7-9 division.

There are 2+2 = 4 children in the 10-12 division.

There are 1+1 = 2 children in the 13-15 division.

There are a total of 10+6 = 16 children.


We start with the information that the team is a member of the softball league.  There are 10 children in this league; this is the denominator of the probability.


There are 7 children in the 7-9 division that are in the softball league.  This gives us the probability 7/10.

please you are a student study well especially graph is easy thing to do.

Evaluate the following expression. 3^-2
Crazy boy [7]

Answer: The simplified form is \frac{1}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

3^{-2}

As we know the  "Exponential law":

a^{-1}=\frac{1}{a^m}

So, it becomes

3^{-2}=\frac{1}{3^2}

Now, at last it becomes,

3^{-2}=\frac{1}{3\times 3}=\frac{1}{9}

Hence, the simplified form is \frac{1}{9}
