Total distance covered by <span>George and Carmen
</span>x + y = 350
And they biked 80 kilometers more than they bussed
<span>80 + y = x </span>
Putting the value of x=80 + y in <span>x + y = 350:
</span>We get:
<span>80 + y + y = 350 </span>
<span>2y = 270 </span>
<span>y = 135 km</span>
<span>Substituting y = 135 in x + y = 350 </span>
<span>x + 135 = 350</span>
<span>x = 215 km </span>
Thus George and Carmen biked for 215 km and bussed for 135 km.
There are 4 boys and 12 students in total. It would be 4/12, but if it was to be simplified, it would be 1/3. The probability of a boy being selected is 1/3.
Answer is D.
When you have an exponent that is a fraction, the denominator is the number you root the base by. In this case the exponent is 3/5, so you fifth root 13 cubed.
Solving for h means we write the equation in such a way that h is isolated from other variables. It is done as follows:
(P = mgh) 1/mg
P/mg = mgh/mg
h = P/mg
Therefore, the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C, h = p/mg.
Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
