Answer:

D: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x mph be the rate of the faster jogger

Therefore (x-2) mph is the rate of the slower jogger

After 3 hours faster jogger will be 3x miles from the starting point

Whereas after the 3 hours slower jogger will be 3(x-2) miles from the starting point but in the opposite direction.

Since they are 30 miles apart 3x+3(x-2)=30

3x+3x-6=30

⇒ 3x+3x=30 +6

⇒ 6x=36

⇒ x=6

Therefore the rate of the faster jogger = 6 mph

How many four-digit whole numbers are there such that the leftmost digit is odd, the second digit is even, and all four digits a
kiruha [24]

Answer: There are 1400 different combinations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The conditions are:

we have 4-digits: abcd.

all the digits are different.

a is an odd number, and b is an even number.

Then, for a, we have the options 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 (so we have 5 options).

for b, we have the options 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 (so we have 5 options).

for c, we can have odd or even numbers, so we have 8 options ( remember that there where 2 numbers already taken away, this is why we have only 8 options).

for d we have 7 options (because 3 numbers are already taken).

Then the number of combinations is equal to the product of the number of options for each selection:

C = 5*5*8*7 = 1400
