Answer:

4.074 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

r =

The formula for speed = Distance × Time

Hence,

Let the outbound speed = r

return trip speed = r + 25x/100 = 125r/100 = 1.25r

Note that: 9 hours and 20 minutes = 9.167

Let t1 and t2 be the time taken to travel on way and return journey.

t1 + t2 = 9 hr 10 min = 9.167 hrs

Hence:

2688/r + 2688/1.25r = 9.167

LCM(1.25r)

(2688 × 1.25) + 2688 /1.25r= 9.167

3360 + 2688 = 9.167 × 1.25r

6048 = 11.45875r

r = 6048/11.45875

Outbound trip rl = 527.8062615904876mph

Return trip speed = r + 25x/100 = 125r/100 = 1.25r

= 1.25 ×

659.75782699mph

Time for return trip = Distance/Speed

= 2,688 miles/659.75782699mph/

= 4.0742222222 hours

Approximately = 4.074 hours

Find the solution to the system of equations x + y = 9 and x - y = -1.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

(4, 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 9 → (1)

x - y = - 1 → (2)

adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate y

2x + 0 = 8

2x = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 4

substitute x = 4 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

substituting into (1)

4 + y = 9 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

y = 5

solution is (4, 5 )

the mean height of a group of 500 nonsmoking college students is 74 inches and the standard deviation is 5 inches. what is the p
Novosadov [1.4K]
Based on the given description above, I have analyzed it and come up with a solution to get the probability if in a random sample of 25 students from this said group and the average height is between 73 and 75 inches. So if you calculate it, it will be like this: 
<span>2P(Z<2)−1</span> To find the probability of Z, use the normal distribution table.
The value for Z being less than 2 is 0.9772. The final result is then<span><span>2(0.9772)−1=0.9544
Hope this is the answer that you are looking for.</span></span>

Can someone help please ?
dexar [7]
Average rate of change is defined by (y^-y)/(t^-t) where the ^ means the final(so final y and final t)
So you'd do (8.75-2.75)/(12-4) which is 6/8 which is 3/4 of a dollar per week
