The problem statement gives you the relationship between their speeds, and it gives you information you can use to find their total speed. You solve this by finding the total speed, then the proportion of that belonging to Bill.

The total speed is (120 mi)/(3 h) = 40 mi/h.

The speed ratio is ...

... Bill : Joe = 3 : 1

so the speed ratio Bill : Total is ...

... 3 : (3+1) = 3:4.

Bill's speed is (3/4)×(40 mi/h) = 30 mi/h.

How many sets of 7 questions can be chosen from a file of 25 questions?
likoan [24]
If all 25 questions are different,

When order of selection counts:
P(25,7)
=25!/(25-7)!
=15511210043330985984000000/6402373705728000
=2422728000

When order of selection does not count count:
C(25,7)
=25!/(7!*(25-7)!)
=15511210043330985984000000/(6402373705728000*5040)
=480700

Which method do you prefer to use to find sums- count by tens and ones, use compatible numbers, or use friendly numbers and adju
Usimov [2.4K]

I prefer to use compatible numbers because by using this method it is easier to make a sum mentally. This is true because compatible numbers are close in value to the actual numbers. For a better understanding, let's take an example:


Suppose you have two numbers, namely 640 and 40. These two numbers are compatible for division because:


64 ÷ 4 = 16


So, we have used mental arithmetic to solve a more complex problem.
