Start by doing the binomial expansion of (x+y)^6 where x represents success. This is

(x^6y^0) + 6(x^5y^1) +15(x^4y^2) +20(x^3y^3) +15(x^2y^4) +6(x^1y^5) +(x^0y^6)

We are interested in the x^3y^3 term which represents exactly 3 sucesses. Since the probalbility of sucess and failure are both .5 we should be able to figure this out just using the coefficients of the terms which is

20/64 = .3125 which is 31.25%

Dave can complete a sales route by himself in 4 hours. James can do the same job in 5 hours. How long will it take them to do it

Alexeev081 [22]

We can solve this problem by calculating the individual rate of working and equate it to their total rate of working.

If Dave can complete a sales route in 4 hours, then his working rate is

$\frac{1}{4}$

Also, if James can do it in 5 hours, then his working rate is

$\frac{1}{5}$

Let
$x$
be the hours that both will use to complete the sales route,

Then rate at which both completes this task is
$\frac{1}{x}$

Meaning if we add their individual rates we should get

$\frac{1}{x}$

That is;

$\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{x}$

The LCM is
$20x$

So let us multiply through with the LCM.

$20x \times \frac{1}{4} + 20x \times \frac{1}{5} =20x \times \frac{1}{x}$

$5x + 4x = 20$

We simplify to get,

$9x = 20$

Dividing through by 9 gives;

$x = \frac{20}{9}$

$x = 2\frac{1}{9}$

Therefore the two will complete sales route in
$2 \frac{1}{9}$
hours.

Pratap puri Row 22 miles down a river in two hours but the return trip took him 5 1/2 hours find the rate pratap Control in Stil

Natalija [7]

Answer:

x= 7.5 mile/h

y= 3.5 miles / h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given x and y

so, x+y = speed down river

and x-y= speed up river

using

travel time = distance / speed for each case;

we get;

22/x+y=2 ---(1)

and

22/x-y=5.5 -----(2)

Solving equations simultaneously

eq 1 gives

2x+2y=22 ---(3)

eq 2 gives

5.5x-5.5y=22 ----(4)

Multiply eq 3 by 2.75

==> 5.5x+5.5y=60.5 --- (5)

adding eq 4 with eq 5

==> 11x =82.5

==> x= 7.5 miles/h

put this value in eq 3

==> 2(7.5)+2y=22

==> 2y=22-19.8

==> 2y=7

==> y = 3.5
