Mathematics

The distance that Harold swim in 5 hours should be 16 km.

Given that,

Harold swam 6 2 ÷ 5 km in 2 hours.
And, the number of hours given is 5 hours.

Here we assume the distance be x

So,

$6\frac{2}{5}$ =6.4

Now

$\frac{6.4}{2}=\frac{X}{5}$

2x=(6.4)(5)

2x=32

Now Divide by 2 on both sides

Thus,

X=16 km

Therefore, we can conclude that the distance that Harold swim in 5 hours should be 16 km.

The weather satellite shows that hurricane George is 1,728 kilometers southeast of Puerto Rico and moving northwest at 24 kilome

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

1. 3 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the hurricane George is 1,728 kilometers southeast of Puerto Rico and moving northwest at 24 kilometers per hour.

First of all we will find the number of hours it will take for George to reach Puerto Rico. We can find number of hours taken by hurricane George to reach Puerto Rico by dividing 1728 by 24.

$\text{Time}=\frac{\text{ Distance}}{\text{ Speed}}$

$\text{Time taken by hurricane George to reach Puerto Rico}=\frac{1728}{24}$

$\text{Time taken by hurricane George to reach Puerto Rico}=72$

We can see that George will reach Puerto Rico in 72 hours. Let us convert hours to days by dividing 72 by 24 (number of hours in a day).

$\text{Days taken by hurricane George to reach Puerto Rico}=\frac{72}{24}=3$

Therefore, the hurricane George will reach to Puerto Rico in 3 days, if the hurricane stays on its present course. Our first option is the correct choice.

There are 12 red pens, 20 blue pens and 5 black pens in a bag. What is the probability that you will pick a black pen? Round

Vlada [557]

Answer:

The probability of getting a black pen from the bag is 13.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the percentage probability that a black pen will be obtained from the bag, the following calculation must be performed:

12 + 20 + 5 = 37

37 = 100%

5 = X

(5 x 100) / 37 = X

500/37 = X

13.5 = X

Thus, it is determined that the totality of pens is 100%, and through a cross multiplication the percentage of the 5 black pens with respect to the total of pens is obtained.

Therefore, the probability of getting a black pen from the bag is 13.5%.

The equation V = 16300 (0.94)^t represents the value (in dollars) of a car t years after its purchase. Use this equation to comp

Dafna1 [17]

Solution:

Given:

$V=16300(0.94)^t$

The value of a car after t - years will depreciate.

Hence, the equation given represents the value after depreciation over t-years.

To get the rate, we compare the equation with the depreciation formula.

$\begin{gathered} A=P(1-r)^t \\ \text{where;} \\ P\text{ is the original value} \\ r\text{ is the rate} \\ t\text{ is the time } \end{gathered}$

Hence,

$\begin{gathered} V=16300(0.94)^t \\ A=P(1-r)^t \\ \\ \text{Comparing both equations,} \\ P=16300 \\ 1-r=0.94 \\ 1-0.94=r \\ r=0.06 \\ To\text{ percentage,} \\ r=0.06\times100=6\text{ \%} \\ \\ \text{Hence, } \\ P\text{ is the purchase price} \\ r\text{ is the rate} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the value of this car is decreasing at a rate of 6%. The purchase price of the car was $16,300.
