Answer:

35.34 and 16.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let the numbers be x and y

the smaller number = x

the larger number = y

x+y=52--------1

<em>The larger number is 2 less than twice the smaller number</em>

y=2x-2-------2

put y= 2x-2 in eqn 1

x+2x-2=52

3x-2=52

3x=52-2

3x=50

x= 50/3

x= 16.66

put x=16.66 in eqn 1 to find y

x+y=52

16.66+y= 52

y=52-16.66

y= 35.34

Hence the numbers are

35.34 and 16.66

Check

35.34+16.66= 52

Two ships leave port at the same time. One travels north at 70 knots (that is, 70 nautical miles per hour), and the other west a
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

99miles is more likely correct

or 114miles as knots is usually higher mileage

Step-by-step explanation:

70^2 + 70^2 = c^2

sqrt 4900 + sqrt 4900 = c^2

sq rt 9800 = c^2 = 98.9949494

99 x 1.1507794480225 = 113.927165 = 114miles if converted to 80.6m/ph

70 Knots is equivalent to 80.554561361578 Miles/Hour. How to convert from Knots to Miles/Hour The conversion factor from Knots to Miles/Hour is 1.1507794480225. To find out how many Knots in Miles/Hour, multiply by the conversion factor or use the Velocity converter.

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

95%

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical rule states that if data follows normal distribution then the percentage of observations falls within one, two and three standard deviation around the mean are

i) 68% falls within one standard deviation

ii) 95% falls within two standard deviation

iii) 99.7% falls within three standard deviation.

Hence 95% of the observations will fall within two standard deviations around the mean if the data follows normal distribution.
