I don’t know how to explain this but no, because 3/8 doesn’t equal 4/8

Please solve the question and give correct answer with explanation so that i can understand it

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the car is c and speed of the plane is p.

<h3>We are given:</h3>

The speed of the plane is 7 times the speed of the car

p = 7c

The distance traveled is

d = 315 km

The time difference to travel this same distance is 3 hours.

d = ts, where d- distance, t- time, s - speed

Find the time for car and plane and their difference.

t = d/s = 315/c

<h3 /><h3>Plane</h3>

t = d/s = 315/p = 315/(7c) = 35/c

<h3 /><h3>The difference</h3>

315/c - 45/c = 3

<u>Solve it for c:</u>

(315 - 45)/c = 3
270/c = 3
c = 270/3
c = 90 km/h

Now find the speed of plane:

p = 7c = 7*90 = 630 km/h

As we see, Jenny is right

Which word could describe the relationship of the lines containing the points (1, 6) and (1, 3)?

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Coincidental

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>If the two lines have the same two points, they must also have the same slope </em><em>and</em><em> the same y intercept. From this we can deduct that they are actually the same line. Two lines that are directly on top of each other are considered coincidental lines.</em>

A basketball player makes 70% of his free throws the random numbers below represent 20 trials for a simulation let the numbers 0

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the result of the simulation below:

(5,5) (0,6) (9,6) (7,4) (9,1) (7,3) (0,4) (9,3) (2,9) (1,4)

(6,8) (5,3) (1,7) (1,7) (1,8) (3,5) (7,2) (2,1) (0,6) (1,8)

n(S)=20

The numbers 0 to 6 represent a made free throw .
The numbers 7 to 9 represent a missed free throw.
Therefore, any result containing 7 to 9 does not satisfy our requirement that the player makes both throws.

Let Event A be the event that the player made both throws

The pairs in which the player made both throws are:

(5,5) (0,6) (0,4) (1,4) (5,3) (3,5) (2,1) (0,6)

n(A)=8

Therefore:

$P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\frac{8}{20}=0.4\\$

The probability that the player made both throws is 40%.

Determine the standard form of the equation of the line that passes through ( -5,0 ) ( 0 ,-9)

insens350 [35]

The general form for a line through two points (a,b) and (c,d) is

(c-a)(y-b)=(d-b)(x-a)

This is better than the slope forms because it works in the no slope case, as does the standard form.

If you haven't seen it before, it works because when (x,y)=(a,b) we get (c-a)(b-b)=(d-b)(a-a), both sides zero, and when (x,y)=(c,d) we get (c-a)(d-b)=(d-b)(c-a), clearly equal sides.

Here we have

(0 - -5)(y - 0) = (-9 - 0)(x - - 5)

5y = -9(x+5)

5y = -9x - 45

9x + 5y = -45

Ironically there are two standards for standard form; one with the constant alone on the right and one with the whole thing equal to zero. I like the constant alone.

Answer: 9x + 5y = -45

Check:

We check each point is on the line

(-5,0)

9(-5) + 5(0) = -45, good

(0, -9)

9(0) + 5(-9) = -45, good again
