Answer:  400 miles

=========================================================

Here's one approach to solving

We can form a proportion like so

(120 miles)/(1.5 hours) = (x miles)/(5 hours)

120/1.5 = x/5

120*5 = 1.5*x .................. cross multiply

600 = 1.5x

1.5x = 600

x = 600/1.5

x = 400

-----------------------------

Another approach:

Use the formula

speed = distance/time

to find the train's speed is 120/1.5 = 80 mph

Then we can say,

distance = rate*time

distance = 80*5

distance = 400 miles

Fraction : 3/11+7/15= <br> Please show me how you got the answer
avanturin [10]
So the first thing you would have to is to find a common denominator so a common denominator between 11 and 15 is 165. 3/11 * 15 =45/165  next you would do 7/15 * 11=77/165 no that both denominators are the same we add the numerator but the denominator stays the same so 45/165 + 77/165 = 122/165
and since it can't be reduced any more 122/165 is your answer. 

hope this helps :)

An insurance company sells a one-year term life insurance policy to an 80-year-old woman. The woman pays a premium of $1000. If
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The profit of the company will be $224.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of profit be termed as E(x)

we are given

amount of purchasing the policy (let a)= $1000

probability that women will live for at least 1  year (let b) = 0.9581

amount lost by insurance company if the women dies (let c) = 18,500-1000 = 17,500

the probability woman dies within one year (let d) = 1-0.9581=0.0419

the equation will be

E(x) of profit= a*b - c*d = 1000*0.9581 - 17500*0.0419

                    = 958.1 - 733.25

                    =  224.85

What is the solution to the equation 1/4x-1/8=7/8+1/2x?​
PolarNik [594]
First multiply them all by 8
2x - 1 = 7 + 4x
Subtract 2x
-1 = 7 + 2x
Subtract 7
-8 = 2x
Divide by 2
X = -4
