Answer:

\frac{3}{7}  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Suppose a bus arrives at a bus stop every 35 minutes

To Find: If you arrive at a bus stop at a random time, what is the probability that you will have to wait at least 20 minutes for the bus?

Solution:

A bus arrives at a bus stop every 35 minutes.

You arrive at a bus stop at a random time.

So, probability that you will wait at most 20 minutes = \frac{20}{35}

So, The probability that you will wait at least 20 minutes = 1-\frac{20}{35}

                                                                                               = \frac{35-20}{35}  

                                                                                               = \frac{15}{35}  

                                                                                               = \frac{3}{7}  

Thus the probability that you will have to wait at least 20 minutes for the bus is  \frac{3}{7}

5/7 because the original ratio would be 20/35 and then it would reduce to 5/7

142 students are going on a field trip. There will be six drivers, and two different types of vehicles. A bus can hold 51 people
otez555 [7]

Answer: 2 buses and 4 vans would be needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of buses that would be needed.

Let y represent the number of vans that would be needed.

There will be six drivers, and two different types of vehicles. This means that

x + y = 6

142 students are going on a field trip. A bus can hold 51 people while a van can hold 10. This means that

51x + 10y = 142 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 6 - y into equation 1, it becomes

51(6 - y) + 10y = 142

306 - 51y + 10y = 142

- 51y + 10y = 142 - 306

- 41y = - 164

y = - 164/ - 41

y = 4

x = 6 - y = 6 - 4

x = 2
