Answer:

2.86 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Ricky and Lucy are 40 miles apart on bicycles heading towards each other on the same road. Ricky bicycles at 8 mph and Lucy rides at 6 mph. In how many hours will they meet?

Speed = Distance/time

Distance = Speed × time

t = ?

Hence,

8mph ×t + 6 mph × t = 40 miles

8t + 6 t = 40 miles

14t = 40 miles

t = 40/14

t = 2.86 hours

They will meet in 2.86 hours

The cost of a car rental is ​$30 per day plus 18c per mile. You are on a daily budget of ​$75. Write and solve an inequality to
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

2. 5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Rental cost = $30

Cost per mile driven = 18 cent

Daily budget = $75

Greatest distance you can drive each day while staying within budget :

Rental cost + (cost per mile driven * distance) ≤ daily budget

$30 + 18d ≤ $75

18d ≤ 75 - 30

18d ≤ 45

d ≤ 45 / 18

d ≤ 2.5

Greatest distance you can drive each day while staying within budget is 2.5 miles.

A video game company surveys a random sample of 225 of its best customer and finds that the average gamer spends $406 a year on
Burka [1]
The second survey is more believable because there is randomness in the second rather than the first survey. Since the second company surveyed in all interest levels while the first company only surveyed their best customers. Random sampling like what the second company did helps produce representative samples by removing voluntary response bias and undercover age bias.
