To find the time Jack takes to cross Swan Lake, his average speed is required:

The time it will take Jack to cross Swam Lake is <u>0.5 hours</u>

Reason:

Time it took Jack to paddle 6.4 km upstream, t = 2 hours

Distance Jack paddled, d = 6.4 km

The given speed of the Black River, <em>v₂</em> = 1.8 km/h

The width of the lake, w = 2.5 km

The time it will take Jack to cross Swan Lake

Let <em>v₁</em>, represents Jack's speed, we have;

v_1 - v_2 = \dfrac{d}{t}

Therefore;

v_1 - 1.8 = \dfrac{6.4}{2} = 3.2

v₁ = 3.2 + 1.8 = 5

  • Jack's speed, v₁ = 5 km/h

Time \ to \ cross \  the \ lake , \ t_S = \dfrac{w}{v_1}

t_S = \dfrac{2.5 \, km}{5 \, km/h}  = 0.5 \, hr.

The time it will take Jack to cross Swan Lake, t_S = <u>0.5 hours</u>

Consider a manufacturing process called as turning (a type of machining process) that is used to manufacture cylindrical metal s
Sav [38]

Answer: 86.64%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a random variable that represents the diameter of metal samples.

Given : Population mean : \mu=10

Standard deviation: s=0.50

Specified tolerance on the diameter is 0.75 mm.

i.e. range of diameter = 10-0.75< x <10+0.75 = 9.25< x< 10.75

Formula to find the z-score corresponds to x: z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{s}

At x= 0.75,  z=\dfrac{9.25-10}{0.50}=-1.5

z=\dfrac{9.25-10}{0.50}=1.5

Using standard normal table for z-value,

P-value : p(-1.5

∴ Percentage of samples manufactured using this process satisfy the tolerance specification = 86.64%

In △ABC, point D∈AC
Maslowich
<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • ABDC = 6 in²
  • AABD = 8 in²
  • AABC = 14 in²
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

A diagram can be helpful.

When triangles have the same altitude, their areas are proportional to their base lengths.

The altitude from D to line BC is the same for triangles BDC and EDC. The base lengths of these triangles have the ratio ...

... BC : EC = (1+5) : 5 = 6 : 5

so ABDC will be 6/5 times AEDC.

... ABDC = (6/5)×(5 in²)

... ABDC = 6 in²

_____

The altitude from B to line AC is the same for triangles BDC and BDA, so their areas are proportional to their base lengths. That is ...

... AABD : ABDC = AD : DC = 4 : 3

so AABD will be 4/3 times ABDC.

... AABD = (4/3)×(6 in²)

... AABD = 8 in²

_____

Of course, AABC is the sum of the areas of the triangles that make it up:

... AABC = AABD + ABDC = 8 in² + 6 in²

... AABC = 14 in²

Britney is going to the candy store to buy 20 pieces of candy. She is going to buy chocolate candy and caramel candy. Each piece
igomit [66]
To start off, you want to make the equations. first, we will make x = chocolate candy and y=caramel candy since thats the order they come in the problem. we know she bought 20 pieces of candy, so we now know our first equation, x+y=20. next, if each chocolate candy costs $.50, that now makes x in our second equation .5x. the y will then be .1y. they then total up to equal $6.80, so our second equation is .5x+.1y=6.8. to then find x, subtract the y from the first equation to get x=20-y. then in the second equation, replace x with y and solve. you then get y=8, so we know britney has 8 caramels. now in the first equation, replace the y to get x+8=20. and now x=12
