<span>Let us start with the plane flying east at a slower speed. Let us assume that its speed is x kilometers per hour. After 4 hours, it will have traveled 4*x = 4x kilometers. Now let us calculate the speed of the plane flying west. It is faster by 75 kilometers per hour than the other plane. So its speed per hour is x+75 kilometers per hour. After 4 hours, it will have traveled 4( x+75) = 4x+300 kilometers. The total distance traveled by both the planes is 5460 kilometers. In other words, 4x+4x+300 =5460 kilometers. Now simplify the equation: 8x + 300 = 5460 8x = 5460 - 300 8x = 5160 x = 5160/8 645. x is the speed of the plane flying east. It is 645 kilometers. x + 75 is the speed of the plane flying west. It is 645 + 75 = 720 kilometers.</span>

A physics exam consists of 9 multiple-choice questions and 6 open-ended problems in which all work must be shown. If an examinee
katrin [286]

Answer: A) 1260

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the number of combinations of n things taking r at a time is given by :-

^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}

Given : Total multiple-choice questions  = 9

Total open-ended problems=6

If an examine must answer 6 of the multiple-choice questions and 4 of the open-ended problems ,

No. of ways to answer 6 multiple-choice questions

= ^9C_6=\dfrac{9!}{6!(9-6)!}=\dfrac{9\times8\times7\times6!}{6!3!}=84

No. of ways to answer 4 open-ended problems

= ^6C_4=\dfrac{6!}{4!(6-4)!}=\dfrac{6\times5\times4!}{4!2!}=15

Then by using the Fundamental principal of counting the number of ways can the questions and problems be chosen = No. of ways to answer 6 multiple-choice questions x No. of ways to answer 4 open-ended problems

= 84\times15=1260

Hence, the correct answer is option A) 1260

A penny, a nickel, a dime, and a quarter are tossed. What is the probability of obtaining at least one head on the tosses?
Anton [14]
The penny can land two ways. The nickel can land two ways. The dime can land two ways. The quarter can land two ways. The total number of ways that all of them can land is (2x2x2x2)= 16 possibilities. Only ONE result shows no heads . . . TAIL-TAIL- TAIL-TAIL. All of the other 15 possibilities include at least one HEAD. So the probability is 15/16 = 93.25% .
