Answer: 20 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance is 540 feet

speed of the girl = 15ft/s

speed of the puppy = 12 ft/s

If we stand in the frame of reference where the girl is still, in this frame the speed of the puppy will be equal to the speed of the puppy in our previus frame plus the speed of the girl in the previous frame (because they are running in opposite directions)

S = 15 ft/s + 12ft/s = 27ft/s

Now we can use the equation:

time = distance/speed

T = 540ft/27ft/s = 20s

Answer:

20 secs

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance is 540 feet

speed of the girl = 15ft/s

speed of the puppy = 12 ft/s

If we stand in the frame of reference where the girl is still, in this frame the speed of the puppy will be equal to the speed of the puppy in our previus frame plus the speed of the girl in the previous frame (because they are running in opposite directions)

S = 15 ft/s + 12ft/s = 27ft/s

Now we can use the equation:

time = distance/speed

T = 540ft/27ft/s = 20s

The equation 2(5+7) = (2•5) + (2•7) illustrates what property?
wel

In this question, you're trying to figure out what property is being represented.

Your answer would be the Distributive Property

This is your answer because as you can see, you are "distributing" the 2 to the variables inside the parenthesis.

When you distribute the number, you would be multiplying, in which in this case there is multiplication.

Therefore, Distributive property would be the correct answer.

A bandleader randomly select's two students out of 100 bandmembers if you and your brother are both bandmembers what is the prob
kherson [118]
<span>There are 100 * 99 = 9900 different ways to choose two students out of 100 bandmembers. You and our brother are 2 of that ways: you being selected first and you being selected second. Therefore the probability that you two are selected is 2 / 9900 = 0,000202. You can also think as the probability of you being selected among 100 bandmembers, which is 1/100, times the probability of your brother being selected among 99 members, which is 1/99 => (1/100) * (1/99) = 1/ (100*99) = 1 / 9900; plus the same for your brother being selected first and you second => [1/9900] * 2 = 2/9900, which is the same calculated above.</span>
