because town y is between town x and town z so you can take the distance between town x and town z and subtract the distance from town y to town z
Answer:
.01%*
Step-by-step explanation:
Individually, they both have a rate of failure of 1%.
.01 x .01 = .0001
Therefore they have a combined probability of failure of .01%
*Disclaimer!!
I am not the best at this area in math so I would still reference against someone else's answer, but this is my best effort :)
Step 1: Read and understand the problem statement.
You are given (time, depth) pairs of (20 s, 8 cm) and (40 s, 0 cm) and asked to write an equation that describes the relationship of depth (y) to time (x).
The rate of change is (0 cm -8 cm)/(40 s -20 s) = -8 cm/(20 s) = -2/5 cm/s. Then in point-slope form using the second point, the linear function rule is
y = (-2/5)(x -40) +0
You can expand this to
y = (-2/5)x +16
y = -0.4x +16 . . . . . . using a decimal number for the slope

If the bathtubs in your "draining race" start with the same level, the one with the steepest slope (-0.5 cm/s) will win.
6x3=18 add two zeros and you get 1800 seconds:) hope this helped
