<u>Answer</u>:

See below!

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • distance = speed * time
  • speed = distance/time
  • time = distance/speed

<u>equation for distance</u>:

Lets Ben hours be x and Landon hours be y,

60x + 56y = 820 .........equation 1

<u>equation for time</u>:

\frac{60x}{60}+ \frac{56x}{56}  =14

x + y = 14 .........equation 2

Make x the subject:

60x + 56y = 820

x = (820 - 56y)/60 ..........equation 3

x + y = 14

x = 14 - y ........equation 4

Solve equation 3 and 4 simultaneously:

  • 14 - y =  (820 - 56y)/60
  • 60(14 - y) = 820 - 56y
  • 840 - 60y = 820 -56y
  • 840 - 820 = -56y + 60y
  • 20 = 4y
  • y = 5

             [ Therefore Landon drove 5 hours ]

Extra's further investigated:

if y = 5

  • x = 14 - y
  • x = 14 - 5
  • x = 9

              [ Therefore Ben drove 9 hours ]

Answer:

Landon drove 5 hours (and Ben drove 9 hours)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B = number of miles Ben drove

Let L = number of miles Landon drove

Given The trip took them 14 hours

⇒ B + L = 14

Given, Ben averaged 60 miles per hour and Landon averaged 56 miles per hour. Ben and Landon took turns driving on a 820 mile road trip:

⇒ 60B + 56L = 820

Rewrite B + L = 14 to make B the subject, substitute into 60B + 56L = 820, and solve for L:

⇒ B = 14 - L

⇒ 60(14 - L) + 56L = 820

⇒ 840 - 60L + 56L = 820

⇒ 20 = 4L

⇒ L = 5

Therefore, Landon drove for 5 hours

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The correct option is: If 57% of the houses take more than three months to sell, there is a 2 6% chance that a random sample proportion would be as high as or higher than the one they obtained

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The Null hypotheses is 57%,

H_0: \mu=0.57\\H_a: \mu>0.57

P-value is given as 0.026

Here P value represents the probability.

0.026 can be written as: 2.6%

Thus the conclusion is:

If 57% of the houses take more than three months to sell, there is a 2 6% chance that a random sample proportion would be as high as or higher than the one they obtained.

Hence, the correct option is: If 57% of the houses take more than three months to sell, there is a 2 6% chance that a random sample proportion would be as high as or higher than the one they obtained

I've never done this type of problem before so I might be wrong but I think the answer is 20420352.25 cm

I just took the circumference (204.2035225) and multipled 100,000 which seems too simple to be right
