Answer:

18 marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Express the fraction of each type of marble as a function of the total number of marbles as shown;

Let;

total marbles=x

red marbles=3/(3+4)=3/7x

blue marbles=4/7 x

But x=42 marbles

The total number of marbles for each type can be expressed as;

total number of red marbles=fraction of red marbles×total number of marbles

where;

fraction of red marbles=3/7 x

total number of marbles=42

replacing;

total number of red marbles=(3/7)×42=18 marbles

total number of blue marbles=fraction of blue marbles×total number of marbles

where;

fraction of blue marbles=4/7 x

total number of marbles=42

replacing;

total number of blue marbles=(4/7)×42=24 marbles

Reil [10]

Answer:

a) 30.726m/s and b) 5.5549s

Step-by-step explanation:

a.) What was Chris Huber’s speed in meters per second(m/s)?

Given the distance and time, the formula to obtain the speed is

$v=\frac{d}{t}$ .

Applying this to our problem we have that

$v=\frac{200m}{6.509s}= 30.726m/s$ .

So, Chris Huber’s speed in meters per second(m/s) was 30.726m/s.

b) What was Whittingham’s time through the 200 m?

In a) we stated that $v=\frac{d}{t}$ . This formula implies that

$t=\frac{d}{v}$ .

First, observer that $19\frac{km}{h} =19,000\frac{m}{h}=\frac{19,000}{3,600}m/s= 5.2777m/s$ .

Then, Sam Whittingham speed was equal to Chris Huber’s speed plus 5.2777 m/s. So, $v=30.726\frac{m}{s} +5.2777\frac{m}{s}= 36.003 m/s.$

Then, applying 1) we have that

$t=\frac{200m}{36.003m/s}=5.5549s.$

So, Sam Whittingham’s time through the 200 m was 5.5549s.
