Two students are 1 foot apart on a straight path. Each student starts walking away from the other at the same moment. The first

student walks at a rate of 3 feet per second, and the second student’s rate is 1.5 times the first student’s rate. If x represents seconds, which equation can be used to determine how long it will take for the students to be a total of 28 feet apart?

Answer:

3x + 4.5x + 1 = 28

3.6 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial distance apart = 1 foot

Student A:

Walk rate = 3 ft per second

Student B:

1.5*3 = 4.5 ft per second

How long it will take to be a total of 28 feets apart

Distance = speed * time

Let time = x in seconds

Student A distance = 3x

Stident B distance = 4.5x

Initial distance = 1 foot

3x + 4.5x + 1 = 28

7.5x = 28 - 1

7.5x = 27

x = 27/ 7.5

x = 3.6 seconds

Ben ran 3/10 of a mile. Shelly ran 8/10 of a mile. How many more miles did Shelly run than Ben? A) 11/10 B) 11/20 C) 5/0 D) 5/10
attashe74 [19]

Hello there! Shelly ran D) 5/10 more miles than Ben.

To find the difference between the two runner's distances, subtract the smaller distance from the greater distance.

8/10 - 3/10 = 5/10

Since there is a difference of 5/10, this means Shelly ran 5/1 more miles.

I hope this helps, & have a great rest of your day! :)

A batch consists of 12 defective coils and 88 good ones. Find the probability of getting two good coils when two coils are rando
Allushta [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

The probability of getting two good coils when two coils are randomly selected if the first selection is replaced before the second is made is 0.7744  

<u>Solution:</u>

Total number of coils = number of good coils + defective coils = 88 + 12 = 100

p(getting two good coils for two selection) = p( getting 2 good coils for first selection ) \times p(getting 2 good coils for second selection)

p(first selection) = p(second selection) = \frac{\text { number of good coils }}{\text { total number of coils }}

Hence, p(getting 2 good coil for two selection) = \frac{88}{100} \times \frac{88}{100} =\bold{0.7744}

4 < 4(6y - 12) - 2y       |use distributive property

4 < (4)(6y) + (4)(-12) - 2y

4 < 24y - 48 - 2y       |add 48 to both sides

52 < 26y      |divide both sides by 26

2 < y → y > 2

---------------------------------------------------------

4x + 3 < 3x + 6      |subtract 3 from both sides

4x < 3x + 3       |subtract 3x from both sides

x < 3

------------------------------------------------------------

-5r + 6 ≤ -5(r + 2)        |use distributive property

-5r + 6 ≤ (-5)(r) + (-5)(2)

-5r + 6 ≤ -5r - 10         |add 5r to both sides

6 ≤ -10     FALSE

No solution

-------------------------------------------------------------

-2(6 + s) ≥ -15 - 2s        |use distributive property

(-2)(6) + (-2)(s) ≥ -15 - 2s

-12 - 2s ≥ -15 - 2s        |add 2s to both sides

-12 ≥ -15     TRUE

All real numbers

-------------------------------------------------------------

3s + 6 ≤ -5(s + 2)        |use distributive property

3s + 6 ≤ (-5)(s) + (-5)(2)

3s + 6 ≤ -5s - 10         |subtract 6 from both sides

3s ≤ -5s - 16        |add 5s to both sides

8s ≤ -16         |divide both sides by 8

s ≤ -2
