Answer:

Distance between NJH and Jack's home  = 7.10 miles

Distance between NJH and Finn's home  = (14-7.10) = 6.9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Jack lives east of NJH and Finn lives west of NJH.

Distance between Jack and Finn's home = 14 miles

Average speed of Jack = 7 mph

Average speed of Finn = 9 mph

Let the distance between Jack's house and NJH is '(x)' miles.

So the distance between Finn's house and NJH is '(14-x)' miles.

According to the question:

Time taken by both Finn and Jack are equal to reach home.

Considering t_1 is the time taken by Jack and t_2 is the time taken by Finn to reach home.

So,

⇒ t_1=t_2

We have to find the time taken.

⇒ Time taken by Jack.            ⇒ Time taken by Finn.

⇒ t_1=\frac{distance}{speed}                          ⇒ t_2=\frac{distance}{speed}

⇒ t_1=\frac{x}{7} mph                           ⇒ t_2=(\frac{14-x}{9} + \frac{15\ min}{60\ min}) mph   <em> ...15 min extra </em>

  Equating both t_1 and t_2 :

⇒ t_1=t_2

⇒ \frac{x}{7} =\frac{14-x}{9} +\frac{1}{4}

⇒ \frac{x}{7} =\frac{56-4x+9}{36}

⇒ \frac{x}{7} =\frac{65-4x}{36}

⇒ Cross multiplying.

⇒ x(36)=7(65-4x)

⇒ 36x=455-28x

⇒ 36x+28x=455

⇒ 64x=455

⇒ x=\frac{455}{64}

⇒ x=7.10 miles

Distance between NJH and Jack's home = (x) = 7.10 miles

Distance between NJH and Finn's home = (14-x) = (14-7.10) = 6.9 miles

A number cube is rolled three times. What is the probability of rolling three even numbers?
ziro4ka [17]
It depends on how many numbers are on the cube. If the cube goes up to five then you have a 2/5 chance to roll an even number one time. If the dice goes up to 10 then you have 5/10 chance of rolling an even number.

EleoNora [17]
We want to find 9.5% of $50.

First put 9.5% in decimal form. 9.5% = 0.095.

Then multiply 0.095 by 50. 50 * 0.095 = $4.75 fee

The money Kennedy will recieve is going to be 50 dollars minus the $4.75 fee.

50 - 4.75 = $45.25 with the fee subtracted
