I run a 10km race in 56 minutes.what is my average speed in kilometres per minute

Luden [163]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

You ran a 10 kilometer race in 56 minutes (good job!). To find how much you ran in 1 minute, you simply divide by 56.

10/56=0.178571428

Therefore, you ran around 0.18 km/minute.

Have a wonderful day! :D

A bag contains 6 red apples and 5 yellow apples. 3 apples are selected at random. Find the probability of selecting 1 red apple

tester [92]

Answer: The required probability of selecting 1 red apple and 2 yellow apples is 36.36%.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given that a bag contains 6 red apples and 5 yellow apples out of which 3 apples are selected at random.

We are to find the probability of selecting 1 red apple and 2 yellow apples.

Let S denote the sample space for selecting 3 apples from the bag and let A denote the event of selecting 1 red apple and 2 yellow apples.

Then, we have

$n(S)=^{6+5}C_3=^{11}C_3=\dfrac{11!}{3!(11-3)!}=\dfrac{11\times10\times9\times8!}{3\times2\times1\times8!}=165,\\\\\\n(A)\\\\\\=^6C_1\times^5C_2\\\\\\=\dfrac{6!}{1!(6-1)!}\times\dfrac{5!}{2!(5-2)!}\\\\\\=\dfrac{6\times5!}{1\times5!}\times\dfrac{5\times4\times3!}{2\times1\times3!}\\\\\\=6\times5\times2\\\\=60.$

Therefore, the probability of event A is given by

$P(A)=\dfrac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\dfrac{60}{165}=\dfrac{4}{11}\times100\%=36.36\%.$

Thus, the required probability of selecting 1 red apple and 2 yellow apples is 36.36%.

Kevin is three years older than Daniel. Two years ago, Kevin was 4 times as old as Daniel.

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

I believe that Kevin is 6 years old now.

Step-by-step explanation:

I used the guess and check method to figure this out.

First, I began by making Daniel 1 years old, two years ago. Kevin was 4 times as old as Daniel two years ago, so he would be 4 at the time. Now, Daniel would be 3 and Kevin would be 6 years old. The statement that Kevin is three years older than Daniel would confirm this, because 6-3=3. Hope this helps, this is my first time answering:)
