It will take 2 hours for the ambulance to pass the police car.

Given that a police car leaves a crime scene heading east directly towards the hospital at 72 kilometers per hour, and an ambulance leaves a quarter of an hour later and also heads directly east towards the hospital at 81 kilometers per hour, to determine how long will it take for the ambulance to pass the police car, the following calculation must be performed:

  • 72 x 0.25 = 18
  • 81 - 72 = 9
  • 18/9 = 2
  • 72 x 0.25 + 72 x 2 = 162
  • 81 x 2 = 162

Therefore, it will take 2 hours for the ambulance to pass the police car.

Determine how long it will take an airplane to travel 2000 miles if it flies 200 miles per hour, 400 miles per hour, and 600 mil
AveGali [126]

I will use 'hr' to mean hour and 'hrs' to mean hours.

<u>The airplane flies:</u>

200 miles per hr

400 miles per hr

600 miles per hr

Average speed = Total distance ÷ total time

= (200 + 400 + 600)miles ÷ 3hrs = 400miles/hr

Time = Distance ÷ Average speed

= 2000miles ÷ 400miles/hr = 5hrs

Answer:

1. 2.9

2. 51 inches

3. (if you can send a picture of the question, I can tell you an answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

for number 1:

You have to add the scores on the left and divide it by the total. What I did was multiply each number on the right with it's pair and added it up. I got 111. Afterwards,  I totalled the number of students (I got 38) and divided the scores by the number of students to get 2.9.

for number 2:

You do the same thing as number one but instead of multiplying pairs, you add the heights. I got 255 and then divided it by 5 total heights. I got 51 inches.

for number 3: I didn't get the graph to tell you the answer but I can tell you what everything means.

Symmetric means that both sides of the graph are equal and if you fold the graph in half horizontally, you should get the same shape.

Gaps are where you see blanks in the graph where the data gets cut off and then has stats again.

Cluster is when a huge amount of data is gathered in one area.

Peak is where the data (x-axis) reaches it's highest point (highest y-axis point).

Good luck and please give me Brainliest if you liked my answer!

twice a number minus 4 is less than three times the number. (define a variable, write an inequality, and solve for the problem)
Simora [160]
X will represent unknown
2x-4<3x
treat the < sign as a = sign
2x-4=3x
subtract 2x form both sides
-4=x
put the < sign back
-4<x
-4 is less than than x or
x is greater than -4
