Answer: 12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set the speed as "s".

Remember that distance = speed * time

So, plugging the numbers given...

7 = s * 8.4

Divide both sides by 8.4

s = 5/6

Now, plug this into the distance = speed * time, with the distance being 10. Set the time as "t"

10 = 5/6 * t

Divide both sides by 5/6

12 = t

So, it would take 12 hours for the snail to crawl 10 miles.

Answer:

P=1/42.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the student council has 10 members where 5 of the members are Seniors. They need to choose a President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. We calculate the probability that the President is a Senior:

We calculate the number of possible combinations:

$C_4^{10}=\frac{10!}{4!(10-4)!}=210$

Number of favorable combinations is 5.

Threfore, the probability is

P=5/210

P=1/42.

tia_tia [17]

The numbers are 5 and 12.
Smaller number = x
Larger number = y
x +y =17
y = 3x - 3
x +3x -3 = 17
4x = 20
x = 5
smaller number is 5
y = 3(5) - 3
y = 12
larger number is 12.
