Answer:

The first train travels at 58 mph and the second train travels at 203 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first train left Miami at 3:00 PM.

The second train left Miami at 8:00 PM.

Let the speed of the first train be x.

The second train travels 145 mph faster than the first, that is 145 + x

The second train overtakes the first at 10:00 PM

This means that at 10:00 PM, they were both at the same location.

That is 7 hours after the first train left and 2 hours after the second train left.

Speed is given as:

s = d / t

where d = distance traveled and t = time taken

For the first train, after 7 hours traveling at speed x:

x = d / 7

=> d = 7x _______(1)

For the second train, after 2 hours, traveling at speed 145 + x:

145 + x= d / 2

=> d = 290 + 2x ____(2)

Equating (1) and (2):

7x = 290 + 2x

=> 7x - 2x = 290

5x = 290

=> x = 290/5 = 58 mph

Therefore, the first train travels at 58 mph and the second train travels at 203 mph (58 + 145)

Answer: Wait a minute, Is the answer is 144 cubic centimetres?

Step-by-step explanation: So this is the given formula volumebox = width x length x height. Measure any two sides (length, width or height) of an object or surface in order to get a two-dimensional measurement, then multiply the width, length, and the height: 12*6*2=144 cm^3.

A bank sampled its customers to determine the proportion of customers who use their debit card at least once each month. A sampl
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

(0.084,0.396)

Step-by-step explanation:

The 99% confidence interval for the proportion of customers who use debit card monthly can be constructed as

p-z_{\frac{\alpha }{2}} \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} }

p=\frac{x}{n}

p=\frac{12}{50}

p=0.24

q=1-p=1-0.24=0.76

\frac{\alpha }{2} =\frac{\0.01 }{2}=0.005

p-z_{\frac{\alpha }{2}} \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} }

0.24-z_{0.005} \sqrt{\frac{0.24*0.76}{50} }

0.24-2.58(0.0604)

0.24-0.155832

By rounding to three decimal places we get,

0.084

The 99% confidence interval for the proportion of customers who use debit card monthly is (0.084,0.396).

A mouse traveled a total distance of StartFraction 3 Over 24 EndFraction of a mile in a maze over the past 3 hours. The mouse tr
Artemon [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, a mouse covered a distance of 3/24 miles over a distance of 3 hours. Each hour, the mouse traveled the same distance. Distance traveled in 1 hour can be calculated by dividing 3/24 miles by 3. So,

d=\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{24}}{3}\\\\d=\dfrac{3}{24}\times \dfrac{1}{3}\\\\d=\dfrac{1}{24}\ \text{hours}

Matt calculations shows that the distance is 3/8 hours. While dividing 3/24 by 3, he doesn't take reciprocal of 3 as a result he get 9 on numerator and 24 on denominator. Simplified fraction of 9/24 is 3/8. But the correct answer should be 1/24 hours.
