Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading east and the other west. The eastbound train travels 18 miles per hou

r slower than the westbound train. If the two trains are 570 miles apart after 3 hours, what is the rate of the eastbound train?

Formula: Distance = rate * time

570 = (R+(R-18))*3

570 = (2R - 18)*3

190 = 2R-16

208 = 2R

R = 104

Eastbound Train: 86mph

Westbound Train: 104mph

In a carnival game, you roll 2 dice. if the sum is 6, you receive a $5 payoff. if the sum is 12, you receive a $9 payoff. otherw

Ray Of Light [21]

P(sum = 6) = 5/36 ; P(sum = 12) = 1/36

expected payoff = (5/36)(5) + (1/36)(9) = $0.94

2) Find the probability of rolling a 2 or smaller.

Mamont248 [21]

There are 6 numbers in one die.

There are 2 numbers that are less than or equal to 2, they are 1 and 2

The probability of something happening is the number of chances / total number

The probability would be 2/6, which can be reduced to 1/3

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all

Rudik [331]

Answer:

y=-3x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

9x+3y=-9

This is currently in standard form, or ax+by=c.

To get it to slope-intercept form, (y=mx+b) first subtract 9x to both sides.

3y=-9x-9

Divide both sides by 3.

y=-3x-3

Charlie's garage has a rectangular floor space. Its length is 3 times its width. Charlie extends the width of his garage to 6 m,

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The percentage change is 140%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$L= 3W_1$ ---- initial dimension

$W_2 = 6m$ --- new width

$A_2 = 45m^2$ --- new dimension

Required

The percentage increment

The length remains constant because only the width is extended.

The new area is:

$Area =Length * Width$

$A_2=L * W_2$

Make L the subject

$L = \frac{A_2}{ W_2}$

Substitute values for A and W

$L = \frac{45m^2}{6m}$

$L = \frac{45m}{6}$

$L = 7.5m$ --- this is the length of the garden

Calculate the initial width:

$L= 3W_1$

Make W1 the subject

$W_1 = \frac{1}{3} * L$

$W_1 = \frac{1}{3} * 7.5$

$W_1 = 2.5$

So, the initial area is:

$A_1 = L_1 * W_1$

$A_1 = 2.5 * 7.5$

$A_1 = 18.75$

The percentage change in area is:

$\%A = \frac{A_2 - A_1}{A_1}$

$\%A = \frac{45 - 18.75}{18.75}$

$\%A = \frac{26.25}{18.75}$

$\%A = 1.4$

Express as percentage

$\%A = 1.4*100\%$

$\%A = 140\%$
