Answer:

Time in the air  t₁  =  7 s

Time in the sea t₂ =  5 s

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the equation:   v =  d/t , where:

v is the average speed,

d the distance traveled, and

t time doing the trip

From v = d/t    ⇒  d = v*t

Therefore, if we call t₁ time in the air, and t₂ time in the sea, according to problem statement, we have:

t₁  +  t₂  = 12        (1)

16*t₁  +  3*t₂  = 127    (2)

A two equation system, from equation (1) we get

t₂  = 12 - t₁

And by substitution in equaton (2)

16*t₁  + 3 * ( 12 - t₁ ) = 127

16*t₁  + 36 - 3*t₁  = 127

13*t₁   = 91

t₁  = 91 /13

t₁ = 7 s

And    t₂  = 12 - 7

t₂ = 5 s

Rex weighed 80 pounds a year ago. Now he weighs 92 pounds. What is the percent increase in his weight?
Anna11 [10]
So increased weight = 92-80 = 12

so ℅ = 12×100/80 = 15

so his weight is increased by 15℅ !!

The March utility bills (in dollars) of 30 homeowners are listed below. 44 38 41 50 36 36 43 42 49 48 35 40 37 41 43 50 45 45 39
Ulleksa [173]

Step-by-step explanation:

What we will do is create a table with the data they give us, the first thing will be to organize it from smallest to largest, like this:

33, 35, 35, 36, 36, 36, 37, 38, 38, 39, 40, 40, 41, 41, 41, 42, 42, 43, 43, 43, 44, 45, 45, 47, 48, 48, 49, 50, 50, 50

Now we know that the smallest number is 33 and the largest is 50, to create 5 ranges, we will calculate the difference and divide by 5.

(50 - 33) / 5 = 3.4

Therefore we will make ranges of 3 and 4, values, like this

Rank 1: 33 - 36

Rank 2: 37 - 39

Rank 3: 40 - 43

Rank 4: 44 - 46

Rank 5: 47 - 50

We will calculate the frequency distribution of values in each range:

Rank 1: 6

Rank 2: 4

Rank 3: 10

Rank 4: 3

Rank 5: 7
