Answer:

A) A 9% downhill grade means that the decrease in elevation of the road over the segment is 9% of the change in Horizontal distance over the same segment. In other words, for every 100 horizontal feet the road descends 9 feet and the road has a slope of 0.09 vertical feet per horizontal foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Certain westbound U.S highway truck route near a river has a downhill grade of 9%

A) A 9% downhill grade means that the decrease in elevation of the road over the segment is 9% of the change in Horizontal distance over the same segment. In other words, for every 100 horizontal feet the road descends 9 feet and the road has a slope of 0.09 vertical feet per horizontal foot.

In other to make things clear, lets assume

for X = 1 , y = 9% = 0.09

for y =  9 , x = 9 / 0.09 = 100

slope = y/x = 0.09 / 1 = 0.09

A hiker walked 12.8 miles from 9:00 a.m. to noon. He walked an additional 17.2 miles from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. What is his ave
marishachu [46]
The average speed is the distance divided by the time.

Total distance:
12.8 miles + 17.2 miles = 30 miles

Total time:
noon - 9:00 a.m. = 3 hours
6:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. = 5 hours
Total time = 3 hours + 5 hours = 8 hours

average speed = 30 miles / 8 hours = 3.75 miles per hour

How many leaves on a tree diagram are needed to represent all possible combinations tossing a coin and rolling a dice
dolphi86 [110]
The total number of outcomes of rolling a die      = 6
The total number of outcomes of  tossing a coin = 2

The total number of possible outcomes of executing both experiments is 6*2=12, which is also the number of leaves (end of the branch of a tree) on a tree diagram.
