Answer:

The formula for distance problems is: distance = rate × time or d = r × t. Things to watch out for: Make sure that you change the units when necessary. For example, if the rate is given in miles per hour and the time is given in minutes then change the units appropriately.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is an example.

Two cars started from the same point, at 5 am, traveling in opposite directions at 40 and 50 mph respectively. At what time will they be 450 miles apart?

After t hours the distances D1 and D2, in miles per hour, travelled by the two cars are given by

D1 = 40 t and D2 = 50 t

After t hours the distance D separating the two cars is given by

D = D1 + D2 = 40 t + 50 t = 90 t

Distance D will be equal to 450 miles when

D = 90 t = 450 miles

To find the time t for D to be 450 miles, solve the above equation for t to obtain

t = 5 hours.

5 am + 5 hours = 10 am

Maru [420]

Answer:

0.077994

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the owner of a local nightclub has recently surveyed a random sample of n = 250 customers of the club.

$H_0: Mean = 30\\H_a: Mean >30$

(Right tailed test)

Sample size = $n=250$

Sample mean = 30.45

Mean difference = $30.45-30=0.45\\$

Sample std dev s = 5

Sample std error = $\frac{5}{\sqrt{n} } =\frac{5}{\sqrt{250} } \\=0.3163$

Test statistic = Mean diff/std error = $=\frac{0.45}{0.3163} =1.423$

Since population std deviation is not know we use t test

p value = $0.077994$

Four friends ordered two pizzas the cost of each pizza is $13.80 about how much will it cost for both pizzas

skad [1K]

13.80 x 2= 27.60

1 pizza equals 13.80 so two pizzas will be twice that money amount. Both pizzas will cost $27.60.

I hope this helped

1. Find 3 equivalent fraction for the following: a) 5/6 b) 7/11 c) 9/7

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find equivalent fractions, multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same table.

a) 5/6

$\frac{5*2}{6*2}=\frac{10}{12}\\\\\frac{5*3}{6*3}=\frac{15}{18}\\\\\frac{5*4}{6*4}=\frac{20}{24}$

b) 7/11

$\frac{7*3}{11*3}=\frac{21}{33}\\\\\frac{7*4}{11*4}=\frac{28}{44}\\\\\frac{7*5}{11*5}=\frac{35}{55}$

c)9/7

$\frac{9*2}{7*2}=\frac{18}{14}\\\\\frac{9*5}{7*5}=\frac{45}{35}\\\\\frac{9*10}{7*10}=\frac{90}{70}$

Which equation is solved for the variable h? v=by/3

max2010maxim [7]

The equation is given as: v=by/3 but it is actually <span>v=bh/3
</span><span>
Ans, now, we need to solve this for variable h.

So, </span>v=bh/3
On cross multiplying, we get,
3 × v = bh
On dividing the complete equation by "b" we get,
(3×v) / b = (bh)/b

or (3×v) / b = h

Thus, the value of h is : 3v/b
