Happy Pride Month!

Answer:

320m

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two runners be A and B

with Va and Vb as their velocities

velocity=distance/time

Va=720/4*60

=3m/s

Vb=720/5*60

=2.4m/s

Let the 2 runners start from a common position X and meet at Y

so the 2 consecutive meetings happen at X and Y

so we have to find time of meeting at Y as we know that of X (which is t=0)

720=Va*t+Vb*t

t(5.4)=720

t=133.33 or t=720/5.4

therefore distance travelled by B =Vb*t

=2.4*720/5.4

=319.99m

=320m

Find the interquartile range (IQR) of the data in the box plot below. A horizontal boxplot titled Magnitude of earthquakes, is p
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

IQR = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Interquartile range, which is abbreviated as IQR, is just the difference between the upper quartile (where the box ends) and the lower quartile (where the box starts). AS it is given in the question that that box starts from 4 and ends at . The interquartile range IQR is simply:

IQR = 7 - 4 = 3

The values of data are usually clustured around some central value. Interquartile range tells us how spread out these middle values. It also tells when some values are too far from the central value. The values which are too far are also termed as outlier values

Area is 96 length is 4x+8 width is x find x
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The area would be length times width. x(4x+8) =96

4x^2+8x = 96

4x^2+8x-96=0. We need to factor.

It would be factored to (4x-16)(x+6) = 0

x would be -6 (x+6=0)

or x would be 4 (4x-16=0)

Why would the width be negative?!? So the answer is 4
