Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of of winning next shot if he scores= 0.5

Probability of missing next shot if he misses = 1/6

a) Probability of scoring 2 shots later if he missed = (1-1/6)^2

=(5/6)^2

=25/36

b) % of successful shots= (1/2+5/6×(1/100))%

=4/3×1/100

=0.013%

Two cars traveled equal distances in different amounts of time. Car A traveled the distance in 2 h, and Car B traveled the dista
irakobra [83]

Answer: Car B traveled 60 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

A= B-15

A: (B - 15)(2 hr)=D

B: (B)(1.5)=D

Since B and A traveled the same distance you can plug in 1.5B for D.

2B - 30 = 1.5B

-1.5B +30 = -1.5B

——————+30—

2(0.5B) = 2(30)

B = 60 mph
