Answer:

Time of driving of Maria = 1.8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be time drove by Carlos and b be the time drove by Maria.

Carlos and Maria drove a total of 233 miles in 4.4 hours.

Total time = 4.4 hours

           a + b = 4.4 ------------------eqn 1

Carlos drove the first part of the trip and averaged 55 miles per hour. Maria drove the remainder of the trip and averaged 50 miles per hour.    

    Speed of Carlos =   55 miles per hour

    Speed of Maria =   50 miles per hour      

Total distance = 233 miles

That is

              55 a + 50 b = 233----------------------eqn 2

eqn 1 x 50

              50 a + 50 b = 220---------------------------eqn 3

eqn 3 - eqn 2

             55 a + 50 b -    50 a - 50 b   = 233 - 220

                  5a = 13

                   a = 2.6

Substituting in eqn 1

                2.6 + b = 4.4

                          b = 1.8

Time of driving of Maria = 1.8 hours

Let x - hours Carlos drove ; Let y - hours Maria drove

Equation 1: x + y = 4.4
x = 4.4 - y

Equation 2: 55x + 50y = 233
55(4.4 - y) + 50y = 233
242 - 55y + 50y = 233
-5y = 233-242
-5y = -9
y=9/5 or 1.8 hours Maria drove

To find time Carlos drove:
x=4.4 - 1.8
x = 2.6 hours

Answer:

It would have to be (C) 50.27 because 25 is too short for a diameter of 8 seeing it would be 8x4 to get 32 in which 25 is not long enough for. So the answer is C.

Which statement about the equation y = 5x – 8 is correct?
lbvjy [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  A. The equation represents a linear function because the equation is in the form y = mx + b

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function does not have to be in the form y = mx + b, but if a function is in that form, it is a linear function.

  choice A is appropriate

__

A function may have two variables, x and y, and not be a linear function. For example, y = x² is not a linear function. The fact that it has two variables is not what makes it linear.

You flipped a coin 50 times and got 23 heads.What is the experimental probability of getting a head? Write your answer as a frac
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

23/50, 0.46, and 46%

Step-by-step explanation:


This problem is stating that every fifty times you flip a coin you get 23 heads. Finding the fraction is simple, it would be 23/50 because it is expressing the probability. The problem clearly states that every 50 times you get 23 heads. To find the decimal, take the fraction, 23/50, and multiply the numerator and denominator by 2. you get 46/100 which is 0.46. A percent is just a fraction out of a 100 which would make the percent 46.

What is the distance between the points ( − 4 , 5 ) and ( 8 , 9 ) ?
anygoal [31]

Answer:

Sqrt of 160

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance, try to think it as a triangle, so you will find out that the distance equals the sqrt of(8-(-4))^2 + (9-5)^2, so it will be sqrt of(144+16) which is sqrt of 160, so the answer will be sqrt of 160
