To find the answer, we can first find the distance each of them have, then divide it by their speed to find the time needed.
Distance Steve need to travel: 300 feet
Distance Paula need to travel:
300+175(behind steve) = 475 feet
Time needed respectively:
Steve: 300 ÷ 9 = 33.33.. seconds
Paula: 475 ÷ 15 = 31.66... seconds
As we can see from the result, Paula would take less time to reach the goal (31.66<33.33),
therefore, Paula win the bike race by:
33.33-31.67
=1.66...
≈1.67 feet
Thus Paula won by 1.67 feet.
Hope it helps!
Answer:
look down there
Step-by-step explanation:
First ball:
Probability of drawing a white ball is 5/8
Probability of drawing a black ball is 3/8
Second ball:
This depends on the first ball drawn, lets say you drew a white ball initially, 4 white balls are left out of 7 balls in total. The probability of a white ball in the second pick is 4/7.
Total probability of drawing two white balls is 5/8*4/7 (since they are independent events).
If you picked a black ball initially, picking another black ball would have a probability of 2/7, on similar grounds , total prob for 2 blacks would be 3/8*2/7.
The probability that you pick 2 balls of same color is (5/14 + 3/28) = 13/28. (Since they are mutually exclusive events)
