Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"The difference of two numbers is 15."

x-y = 15

x>y

"Five times the smaller number is the same as 9 less than twice the larger number."

5y = 2x-9

y = x-15

substitution

5(x-15) = 2x-9

5x-75 = 2x-9

3x = 66

x = 22

y = x-15 = 7

Average speed=totaldistance/ttoaltime

d=rt
40mph for 30mins (1/2 hr), travels 20mi
rest for 15min (1/4 hr), travels 0mi
swims at 32mph for 45min (3/4hr), travels 96/4=24mi

total distance=20+0+24=44
total time=1/2+1/4+3/4=1 and 1/2=3/2
44/(3/2)=44 times 2/3=88/3=29 and 1/3

about 29 and 1/3 mph

77.1% chance that all 3 orders are correct.
For three independent events to find the probability of each one occurring we multiply the probabilities together. .917*.917*.917 = .77109 or 77.1 percent chance of all three outcomes being favorable.

Answer:

1. 18.84 in

2. 56.52 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is the distance around the circle. Its found using the formula C = πd or C=2πr. The variable d represents the diameter or the distance from one edge of the circle to the other through the cent. The variable r represents the radius of a circle or the distance from one edge to the center. Use the formula by substituting a diameter or radius then simplify.

1. C = πd = π(6) = 3.14(6) = 18.84 in

2. C = 2πr = 2(3.14)(9) = 56.52 cm
