Sam and Liam raced each other up and then down the hill. Sam's average speed up the hill was 1 mph, and his average speed down w

as 9 mph. Liam ran up the hill and down the hill with the same speed, 2 mph. If the path from the bottom to the top of the hill is 1 mile long, how much time did it take each of the boys to finish - and who was the winner?

Answer:

Sam's time was 1 hour and 6.66 minutes (or 1 and 1/9 hours)

Liam's time was was 1 hour

So in conclusion, Liam was faster

Step-by-step explanation:

We got Sam's time by 1/1 because Sam was walking 1 mph and the length to reach the top of the hill is 1 mile. So it would take Sam 1 hour to walk 1 mile. Walking down the hill Sam's speed was 9 mph. So the equation would be 1/9. So you would get 1/9. 1/9 of 60 is 6.66 repeating.

For Liam it is pretty simple. Since he is going up the hill at 2 mph and the length of the bottom of the hill to the top is 1 mile, it would be 30 minutes. Repeat this for the top to the bottom and in total it would be 1 hour.

Hope this helps

Suppose that A = {2, 4, 6}, B = {2, 6}, C = {4, 6}, and D = {4, 6, 8}. Identify the pairs of sets in which one is a subset of th
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that A = {2, 4, 6}, B = {2, 6}, C = {4, 6}, and D = {4, 6, 8}.

We know that P is a subset of Q if all elements of P are also in Q

Using this let us compare pairwise

A and B

The elements of B are also in A

So B is a subset of A

Next A and C,

All elements of C are in A.  So C is a subset of A

B and C.  We find neither is a subset of other

B and D.  Here also 2 is not in D so not a subset

C and D

C is a subset of D

SO answer is

B and C are subsets of A and C is also a subset of D

2.4x-9 < 1.8x+6 solve the inequality
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

x<25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your inequality step-by-step.

2.4x−9<1.8x+6

Step 1: Subtract 1.8x from both sides.

2.4x−9−1.8x<1.8x+6−1.8x

0.6x−9<6

Step 2: Add 9 to both sides.

0.6x−9+9<6+9

0.6x<15

Step 3: Divide both sides by 0.6

0.6x/0.6 < 15/0.6

x<25

Mr. Clark claims that he has a coin that is weighted so that the probability of heads is 40%. To test this, his students flip th
Brrunno [24]
While I'm unsure what the word choices were, his claim is likely to be true. 

Since he claims the probability of heads is 40%, that should be what we see in an experiment.  0.38 is very close to 0.40, or 40%, so this is true.  Therefore his claim is likely to be true, and the probability of tails should be about 60%.
