Jenette rides her bike to the bus station where she barely makes it in time to catch the bus to work. She spends half an hour on

her bike and two-thirds of an hour on the bus. If the bus travels 39 mph faster than she travels on her bike, and the total distance from home to work is 40 miles, find the rate of the bike and the rate of the bus.

Answer:

The rate of the bike is approximately 23.14 mph

The rate of the bus is approximately 62.14 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The time Janette spends on her bike to get to bus station = Half an hour = 0.5 hours = 30 minutes

The time Janette spends on the bus on her way to work = Two-thirds of an hour = 2/3 hours

The speed of the bus = 39 mph + The speed with which Janet travels on her bike

The total distance from her home to her work = 40 miles

To answer the question, let the speed with which Janet travels on her bike in miles per hour = x = the rate of the bike

Therefore, we have;

The speed rate of the bus = 39 + x

Distance = Speed × Time

The distance Janet travels to the bus station = The speed with which Janet travels on her bike × The time Janette spends on her bike to get to bus station

The distance Janet travels to the bus station = x × 0.5 = 0.5·x

The distance travelled by the bus from the bus station to her work = The speed of the bus × The time Janette spends on the bus from the bus station to her place of work

∴The distance travelled by the bus from the bus station to her work = (39 + x) × 2/3 hours = 13 + 2/3·x

The total distance from her home to her work = 40 miles = The distance Janet travels to the bus station + The distance travelled by the bus from the bus station to her work

∴ The total distance from her home to her work = 40 miles = 0.5·x + 13 + 2/3·x

Which gives;

40 = 0.5·x + 13 + 2/3·x

40 = 7/6·x + 13

7/6·x = 40 - 13 = 27

7/6·x = 27

x = 27 × 6/7 ≈ 23.14 mph

The rate of the bike = x ≈ 23.14 mph

The rate of the bike ≈ 23.14 mph

The speed rate of the bus = 39 + x ≈ 39 + 23.14  ≈ 62.14 mph

The speed rate of the bus ≈ 62.14 mph.

A pet owner has 5 cats. Each cat has 2 ears and 4 paws. Complete the double number line to show the numbers of ears and paws for
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

If there are 3 cats in the room, what is the ratio of ears to paws?  1 : 2

If there are 4 cats in the room, what is the ratio of paws to ears?  2 : 1

If all 5 cats are in the room, how many more paws are there than ears? the number of paws is twice as more than the number of ears, we have 10 more paws than ears.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can see the double number line for this situation in the attached photo.

So as we can see in the double number line diagram, if there are 3 cats in the room we would have an ears to paws ratio of 6 : 12 , which simplified would be 1 : 2, meaning that for every ear there are 2 paws.

For the next question, if there are 4 cats in the room, the paws to ears ratio would be 16 : 8, simplified to 2 : 1, meaning that for every 2 paws there is 1 ear.

And for the last question, if all 5 cats are in the room, we have that the paws to ears ratio is 20 : 10, simplified again to 2 : 1, meaning the number of paws is twice as more than the number of ears, so in this case we have 10 more paws than ears.

1) Given P(A) = 0.3 and P(B) = 0.5, do the following.
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

1) a) 0.8

b) 0.6

2) a) 0.08

b) 0.14

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Given

P(A) = 0.3 and P(B) = 0.5

Let us learn about a formula:

P(A\ or\ B) = P(A) +P(B) -P(A\ and\ B)\\OR\\P(A\cup B) = P(A) +P(B) -P(A\cap B)

(a) If A and B are mutually exclusive i.e. no common thing in the two events.

In other words:

P(A\ and\ B) = P(A \cap B) = 0

Using above formula:

P(A\ or\ B) = P(A) +P(B) -P(A\ and\ B)\\\Rightarrow P(A\ or\ B) = 0.3 + 0.5 -0 = \bold{0.8}

(b)  P(A and B) = 0.2

Using above formula:

P(A\ or\ B) = P(A) +P(B) -P(A\ and\ B)\\\Rightarrow P(A\ or\ B) = 0.3 + 0.5 -0.2 = \bold{0.6}

*************************************

1) Given

P(A) = 0.4 and P(B) = 0.2

Let us learn about a formula:

P(A\ and\ B) = P(B) \times P(A/B)  for dependent events

P(A\ and\ B) = P(A) \times P(B) for independent events.

(a) If A and B are independent events :

Using the above formula for independent events:

P(A\ and\ B) = 0.4 \times 0.2 = \bold{0.08}

(b)  P(A / B) = 0.7

Using above formula:

P(A\ and\ B) = P(B) \times P(A/B) = 0.2 \times 0.7 = \bold{0.14}
