Earth has 24 time zones spread over its 360º circumference. Each time zone is 15º wide. Boston is close to longitude 71º W; Hono

lulu is close to longitude 158º W.
How many time zones apart are Boston and Honolulu?
A. They are 6 time zones apart because 87/15 ≈ 6.
B. They are 5 time zones apart because 360/71 ≈ 5.
C. They are 4 time zones apart because 87/24 ≈ 4.
D. They are 2 time zones apart because 158/71 ≈ 2.

I think it's either B or D, but i'm not certain.



A grizzly bear’s top speed is about 36 mph. This speed makes the bear about 1 times as fast as an African elephant.

What is the top speed of an African elephant?
A. An African elephant can reach a top speed of about 48 mph because 36 divided by 2/3 = 48.
B. An African elephant can reach a top speed of about 39 mph because 36 divided by 3/2 = 39 .
C. An African elephant can reach a top speed of about 34 mph because 36 divided by 2/3 = 34 .
D. An African elephant can reach a top speed of about 24 mph because 36 divided by 3/2 =24 .

Question 1. 
Answer: A
We know that each time zone is 15 degrees.  We know that Honolulu is close to 158 degrees and Boston is close to 71 degrees

If we subtract 158 - 71= 87 degrees
Since we know that time zones are 15 degrees wide we divide 87/15 = 5.8 or roughly 6 as the answer states

Question 2.
I am guessing the question is written incorrectly as 1 times as fast as the bear would be the same speed.  However, by looking at the answers I am guessing it was supposed to be 1.5 times as fast and the answer is D

If we divide 36mph by 1.5 we get 24

Answer:

A. They are 6 time zones apart because 87/15 ≈ 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you find the difference between 71 and 158 you will get the product 87.

To get the answer you divide 87 by 15 to get about 6

Weights of cars passing over a bridge part 2<br>​
DaniilM [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to this problem is very much similar to your previous ones, already answered by Sqdancefan.

Given:

mean,  mu = 3550 lbs (hope I read the first five correctly, and it's not a six)

standard deviation, sigma = 870 lbs

weights are normally distributed, and assume large samples.

Probability to be estimated between W1=2800 and W2=4500 lbs.

Solution:

We calculate Z-scores for each of the limits in order to estimate probabilities from tables.

For W1 (lower limit),

Z1=(W1-mu)/sigma = (2800 - 3550)/870 = -.862069

From tables, P(Z<Z1) = 0.194325

For W2 (upper limit):

Z2=(W2-mu)/sigma = (4500-3550)/879 = 1.091954

From tables, P(Z<Z2) = 0.862573

Therefore probability that weight is between W1 and W2 is

P( W1 < W < W2 )

= P(Z1 < Z < Z2)

= P(Z<Z2) - P(Z<Z1)

= 0.862573 - 0.194325

= 0.668248

= 0.67 (to the hundredth)

Blake bought a total of 24
Harman [31]
5/8 = 0.625 = 62.5%

If 62.5% were glazed then you must find 62.5% of 24.

Equation…

x=0.625(24) = 15

if each costs $0.84 cents plus tax then you will multiply by 15.

15 x .84 = 12.6

The total cost was $12.60
