The train ride at the zoo covers a distance of 7 and 5/6 miles in 4/5 of an hour. How many miles per hour does the train go?

1 answer:

5 0

The speed of the train in miles per hour which is the ratio of the total distance covered and the total time taken to cover the distance is 9.79 mph

Total distance covered = 7 and 5/6 miles = 7.83333 miles
Total time taken = 4/5 of an hour = 0.8 hour

Recall :

Speed in miles per hour = Distance covered / time taken

The speed of the train = 7.833333 ÷ 0.8 = 9.7916

The speed of the train in miles per hour = 9.79 mph

Therefore, the speed of the train in miles per hour as calculated from the distance covered by the train over a certain period of time is 9.79 mph

Suppose that a and b are integers, a ≡ 4 ( mod 13 ) and b ≡ 9 ( mod 13 ) . Find the integer c with 0 ≤ c ≤ 12 such that: c ≡ 9 a

g100num [7]

Answer:

A) For c ≡ 9 a ( mod 13 ) ; C is 10

B) For c ≡ 11 b ( mod 13 ) ; C is 8

C) For c ≡ a + b ( mod 13 ); C is 0

D) For c ≡ a² + b² ( mod 13 ); C is 6

E) For c ≡ a² − b² ( mod 13 ) ; C is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a modular arithmetic problem where a ≡ 4 ( mod 13 ) and b ≡ 9 ( mod 13 ).

And 0 ≤ c ≤ 12.

A) c ≡ 9 a ( mod 13 )

Substituting the value of a to obtain;

c ≡ 9 x4 ( mod 13 ) = 36 mod 13

To find 36 mod 13 using the Modulo Method, we first divide the Dividend (36) by the Divisor (13).

Second, we multiply the whole part of the Quotient in the previous step by the Divisor (13).

Then finally, we subtract the answer in the second step from the Dividend (36) to get the answer. Here is the math to illustrate how to get 36 mod 13 using Modulo Method:

36 / 13 = 2.769231

2 x 13 = 26

36 - 26 = 10

Thus, the answer to "What is 36 mod 13?" is 10

So C = 10

B) c ≡ 11 b ( mod 13 ) = 11 x 9 ( mod 13 ) = 99 ( mod 13 )

Using the same method as above,

99 ( mod 13 );

99 / 13 = 7.6155

7 x 13 = 91

99 - 91 = 8

So, C = 8

C)c ≡ a + b ( mod 13 ) = 4 + 9 (mod 13) = 13 (mod 13)

Thus;

13 / 13 = 1

1 x 13 = 13

13 - 13 = 0

So, C = 0

D)c ≡ a² + b² ( mod 13 ) = 4² + 9²( mod 13 ) = 16 + 81 ( mod 13 ) = 97 ( mod 13 )

Thus;

97 / 13 = 7.46154

7 x 13 = 91

97 - 91 = 6

So, C = 6

E)c ≡ a² − b² ( mod 13 )= 4² - 9²( mod 13 ) = 16 - 81 ( mod 13 ) = - 65 ( mod 13 )

Thus;

-65 / 13 = - 5

-5 x 13 = - 65

-65 - (-65) = 0

So, C = 0

Urpi wants to buy towels online. There are two stores with the kind of towel she wants. The first store charges $20 per towel, a

Kamila [148]

Answer:

1 A the first store.

2. B The second store.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The store with the dearest towel is The First one ( $20 compared with $18).

2. The equation for the cost in the first store is P = 20n + 25.

The cost in the second store is given by P = 18n + 35.

For 15 towels first store charges:

20 * 15 + 25 = $325.

Second store charges:

18 * 15 + 35 = $305.

The volume of the candle initially is:
V=Ab*h
Area of the base of the cylinder: Ab=pi*r^2
pi=3.14
Radius of the base: r=4 cm
Height of the cylinder: h=6 cm

Ab=pi*r^2
Ab=3.14*(4 cm)^2
Ab=3.14*(16 cm^2)
Ab=50.24 cm^2

V=Ab*h
V=(50.24 cm^2)*(6 cm)
V=301.44 cm^3

The candle melts at a constant rate of:
r=(60 cm^3)/(2 hours)=(120 cm^3)/(4 hours)=(180 cm^3)/(6 hours)
r=30 cm^3/hour

The amount of candle melted off after 7 hours is:
A=(30 cm^3/hour)*(7 hours)
A=210 cm^3

The percent of candle that is melted off after 7 hours is:
P=(A/V)*100%
P=[(210 cm^3)/(301.44 cm^3)]*100%
P=(0.696656051)*100%
P=69.66560510%
Rounded to the nearest percent
P=70%

Answer: 70%

A phone manufacturer wants to compete in the touch screen phone market. He understands that the lead product has a battery life

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The null hypothesis is $H_0: \mu \leq 10$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_1: \mu > 10$

b-1) The value of the test statistic is t = 1.86.

b-2) The p-value is of 0.0348.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

Test if the battery life is more than twice of 5 hours:

Twice of 5 hours = 5*2 = 10 hours.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the battery life is of 10 hours or less, than is:

$H_0: \mu \leq 10$

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the battery life is of more than 10 hours, that is:

$H_1: \mu > 10$

b-1. Calculate the value of the test statistic.

The test statistic is:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so the t-distribution is used to solve this question

$t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis, s is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

10 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that $\mu = 10$

In order to test the claim, a researcher samples 45 units of the new phone and finds that the sample battery life averages 10.5 hours with a sample standard deviation of 1.8 hours.

This means that $n = 45, X = 10.5, s = 1.8$

Then

$t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$t = \frac{10.5 - 10}{\frac{1.8}{\sqrt{45}}}$

$t = 1.86$

The value of the test statistic is t = 1.86.

b-2. Find the p-value.

Testing if the mean is more than a value, so a right-tailed test.

Sample of 45, so 45 - 1 = 44 degrees of freedom.

Test statistic t = 1.86.

Using a t-distribution calculator, the p-value is of 0.0348.
