A blimp travels 255 feet in 1/2minute, 510 feet in 1/6 minute, and 3,060 feet in 1 minute.

Mathematics

Answer:

We conclude that there is NOT a proportional relationship between the distance the blimp travels and the time it travels.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know if y varies directly with x, we get the equation

y ∝ x

y = kx

k = y/x

where k is called the constant of variation.

In our case we are given:

A blimp travels 255 feet in 1/2 minute

  • A blimp travels 255 feet in 1/2minute.

here:

y = 255, and x = 1/2 = 0.5

so substituting y = 255 and x = 0.5 in the equation

k = y/x

k = 255 / 0.5

k = 510

A blimp travels 510 feet in 1/6 minute

here:

y = 510 , and x = 1/6

so substituting y = 510 and x = 1/6 in the equation

k = y/x

k = [510] / [1/6]

k = 3060

A blimp travels 3,060 feet in 1 minute

here

y = 3,060, and x = 1

so substituting y = 3,060 and x = 1 in the equation

k = y/x

k = 3,060 / 1

k = 3060

<u>HERE IS THE VARIATION OF THE CONSTANT OF VARIATION:</u>

A blimp travels 255 feet in 1/2 minute

k = 510

A blimp travels 255 feet in 1/2 minute

k = 3060

A blimp travels 3,060 feet in 1 minute

k = 3060

It is clear that the constant of variation does not remain constant.

Therefore, we conclude that there is NOT a proportional relationship between the distance the blimp travels and the time it travels.

8 + 8r = 3 + 3r can anyone can help me out​
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:r = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

8+8r-(3+3r)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

8r-(3r+3)+8=0

We get rid of parentheses

8r-3r-3+8=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

5r+5=0

We move all terms containing r to the left, all other terms to the right

5r=-5

r=-5/5

r=-1

Hope this helps

There are three boxes: one with two golden coins, one with two silver coins, and one with one golden coin and one silver coin. A
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From Bayes' theorem is stated mathematically as the following equation:[2]

{\displaystyle P(A\mid B)={\frac {P(B\mid A)\,P(A)}{P(B)}},}

where A and B are events and P(B) ≠ 0.

P(A) and P(B) are the probabilities of observing A and B without regard to each other.

P(A | B), a conditional probability, is the probability of observing event A given that B is true.

P(B | A) is the probability of observing event B given that A is true.

At this point, go through the attached file before you continue with part B.

Part B)

P(silver) = P(silver from SS)+P(silver from GS)

note P(SS)=P(GG)=P(GS) = 1/3

P(silver from SS) = 1

P(silver from GS) = 1/2

hence

P(Silver from SS) = 1/3

P(Silver from GS) = 1/3 *1/2

P(Silver) = 1/3*1+1/3*1/2

required probability = P(Silver from SS)/P(Silver) = 2/3

Manny can assemble a computer by himself in 50 minutes. Lucy does the same job in 45 minutes. How long will it take to assemble
jonny [76]
Manny can assemble a computer in 50 minutes. That means, in a minute Manny does \frac{1}{50} job.

Lucy can assemble a computer in 45 minutes. That means, in a minute Lucy does \frac{1}{45} job.

If they are working together, in a minute they will do:
\dfrac{1}{50} + \dfrac{1}{45}
= \dfrac{9}{450} + \dfrac{10}{450} \text{(equalize the denominator)}
=\dfrac{19}{450}
In a minute they will do \frac{19}{450} job

To finish the job they will do it in \frac{450}{19} minutes or about 24 minutes.
