Answer:

5 hours after they start.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the cities Atlanta and Indianapolis is 540 miles.

If a motorcycle's speed is 48 mph, then time taken by motorcycle = Distance / Speed = 540 miles / 48 mph = 11.25 hours.

For a car it takes 2.25 hours less to cover same distance than for the motorcycle. Then time taken by car = 11.25 - 2.25 = 9 hours.

Speed of car = Distance / Time = 540 miles / 9 hours = 60 mph.

If they start moving towards each other simultaneously, then the time when they meet = Distance / (sum of speeds) = 540 miles / (60+48) mph = 540 miles / 108 mph = 5 hours.

Hence, it takes them 5 hours to meet after they start moving towards each other simultaneously.

A contractor records all of the bedroom areas, in square feet, of a five-bedroom house as: 100, 100, 120, 120, 180 What is the v

The variance is the total of the squared distances of the given data from the mean. 

This can be calculated through the equation,
        
                            σ² = summation of X² / N  - μ²

where σ² is the variance X's are the data, N is the number of terms, and μ is the mean.

   summation of X² = 100² + 100² + 120² + 120² + 180² = 81200
                          N = 5
                                        μ = (100 + 100 + 120 + 120 + 180) / 5
                                         μ = 124

Substituting these values to the equation for variance,
                                 
                              σ² = (81200/5) - 124² = 864

Thus, the variance is equal to 864.

How many different books did the children read
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

16 books

Step-by-step explanation:

if Sandra read 5 books and Deacon read 6 and Breanna read 7 and they all one same book, then that means sandra read 4 different books then Deacon and Breanna. Deacon read 5 different books then Sandra and Breanna. Breanna read 6 different books then Deacon and Sandra.

So Sandras 4 books plus Deacons 5 books plus Breannas 6 books equals up to 15 but, now you need to add the one book they all read which makes the answer 16.


(Hopes this helps)
