Answer:

  • older sister: 4 mph
  • younger sister: 2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sisters are walking in opposite directions, the amount of distance between them increases at a rate equal to their combined walking speeds. That rate is ...

  speed = distance/time

  speed = (30 mi)/(5 h) = 6 mi/h

If y represents the speed of the younger sister, their combined speeds are ...

  y +2y = 6

  3y = 6

  y = 6/3 = 2 . . . . . . . younger sister's speed

  2y = 2(2) = 4 . . . . . older sister's speed

The older sister's speed is 4 miles per hour; the younger's speed is 2 miles per hour.

Answer:

462.1 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Working based on the diagram provided to solve the question,

The height of the hawk is x

From trigonometry :

Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent

Opposite = height of hawk, x

Adjacent = 660

Tan 35 = x / 660

0.7002075 = x / 660

x = 462.137

Hence, the height of hawk is 462.1 feets

The graph of a function is shown: In which part of the graph is the function increasing? AB BC CD DE
GuDViN [60]
Find the derivative of the graph and then find at which point slope is zero. Then plug in the x value before that point where the slope is zero and after that point. If it is positive than the graph is increasing for that interval and if it is negative than the function is decreasing for that interval.

Answer:

<h2>Tete = P3560</h2><h2>Tuke = P5340</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Tete : Tuke\\2  : 3\\Total-Amount = P8900\\2+3 = 5\\Tete = \frac{2}{5} * 8900\\Tete = P3560\\\\Tuke = \frac{3}{5} *8900\\Tuke = P5340

Kaitlyn has 7 white chips, 5 red chips, and 8 blue chips in a bag.
dmitriy555 [2]

80 times could Kaitlyn expect to pull out a blue chip.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

  • The total number of chips in the bag = 7 white+5 red+ 8 blue = 20 chips.
  • Probability (blue chip) = number of blue chips / total chips

P(blue) = 8/20

She does this 200 times.

P(blue) for 200 times = (8/20)\times200 = 80.
