In a particular triathlon the athletes cover 1/24 of the total distance by
swimming, 1/3 of it by running, and the rest by bike. What is the ratio of
the distance covered by bike to the distance covered by running?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

15/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "d" be the total distance, that is, the distance for swimming (s), running (r) and going by bike (b).

d = s + r + b   [1]

1/24 of the total distance is covered by  swimming.

s = 1/24 d   [2]

1/3 of the distance is covered by running.

r = 1/3 d  [3]

If we replace [2] and [3] in [1], we get

d = 1/24 d + 1/3 d + b

b = d - 1/24 d - 1/3 d

b = 24/24 d - 1/24 d - 8/24 d

b = 15/24 d = 5/8 d

The ratio of  the distance covered by bike to the distance covered by running is:

b/r = (5/8 d)/(1/3 d) = 15/8

Josh wants to add a model of a tree house to his model railroad layout how big should the tree be if the actual tree is 315 inches and the scale is 1:90

Answers

Answer:

3.5 inches on the scaled model

Step-by-step explanation:

So using the ratio, 1:90 I thought of two ways to solve this

1) Proportion

2) Equation

Using the proportion method

1:90=x:315

Now cross multiply

315=90x

Now solve and you’ll get 3.5

Equation is just

315/90=X?

Just solve and you’ll also get 3.5

A taxi charges a flat rate of $1.75, plus an additional $0.65 per mile. Erica has at most $10 to spend on the cab ride. How far can Erica travel?

Answers

Answer:

x = 12.7 or x ≈ 12

Step-by-step explanation:

1.75 + 0.65x = 10

0.65x = 10 - 1.75

0.65x = 8.25

x = 8.25 / 0.65

x = 12.7

x ≈ 12

note: we round it up to 12 and not 13, because Erica does not have enough money for 13 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = -3

x - y = 1

Add the two equations together to eliminate y

x + y = -3

x - y = 1

------------------

2x = -2

Divide by 2

2x/2 = -2/2

x = -1

Now find y

x+y =-3

Martha needs 7 strawberries for every 1 smoothie.
What are the missing values in the table

Answers

————
28-4
21-3
70-10

Answer:

Strawberries         Smoothies

28                           4

21                          3

70                      10

Step-by-step explaination

If Maria uses 28 strawberries you would divide that by 7 (since that's how many she uses for one smoothie) after you divide 28 by 7 you get 4, 4 is the number of smoothies 28 strawberries makes.

If Maria makes 3 smoothies you multiple 3 by 7 (since that's how many strawberries she uses to make one) 7 times 3 is 21. If you want to check your work you would divide 21 by 7 (the number of strawberries used for 1 smoothie) and you would get 3.

If Maria uses 70 strawberries you would divide 70 by 7 (the number of strawberries used for 1 smoothie) 70 divided by 7 is 10, 10 is the number of smoothies 70 strawberries make.

A particle starts to move from rest in a straight line with an acceleration which increases with constant time rate from 1 ft./sec^{2} to 4 ft./sec^{2} in one second. prove that the particle will move a distance of 1 ft. in this second.

Answers

The particle's acceleration a increases at a constant rate, so that its average rate of change is equal to its instantaneous rate of change, which is equal to

(4 ft/s² - 1 ft/s²) / (1 s) = 3 ft/s³

The particles starts with acceleration a (0) = 1 ft/s², so we can determine its acceleration at time t by the fundamental theorem of calculus:

a(t) = a (0) + ∫₀ (3 ft/s³) du

a(t) = 1 ft/s² + (3 ft/s³) t

It also starts from rest, so with initial velocity v (0) = 0. Integrating again gives us the velocity function,

v(t) = v (0) + ∫₀ a(u) du

v(t) = ∫₀ (1 ft/s² + (3 ft/s³) u) du

v(t) = (1 ft/s²) t + 1/2 (3 ft/s³) t ²

Taking the particle's initial position to be x (0) = 0, compute the integral again to determine the distance it travels in 1 s:

x(t) = x (0) + ∫₀ v(u) du

x(t) = ∫₀ ((1 ft/s²) u + 1/2 (3 ft/s³) u ²) du

x(t) = 1/2 (1 ft/s²) t ² + 1/6 (3 ft/s³) t ³

→   x (1 s) = 1/2 (1 ft/s²) (1 s)² + 1/6 (3 ft/s³) (1 s)³ = 1 ft

Sales personnel for Skillings Distributors submit weekly reports listing the customer contacts made during the week. A sample of 35 weekly reports showed a sample mean of 19.5 customer contacts per week. The population standard deviation was 5.2. Provide a 99% confidence interval for the population mean number of weekly customer contacts for the sales personnel.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Confidence interval (C) = 99%, mean (μ) = 19.5, standard deviation (σ) = 5.2, sample size (n) = 35

α = 1 - C = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

α/2 = 0.005

The z score of α/2 (0.005) is the same as the z score 0.495 (0.5 - 0.005) which is equal to 2.576.

The margin of error (E) is given as:

[tex]E=Z_\frac{\alpha}{2}*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } \\\\E=2.576*\frac{5.2}{\sqrt{35} } \\\\E=2.264[/tex]

The confidence interval = (μ ± E) = (19.5 ±  2.264) = (17.236, 21.764).

The confidence interval is between 17.236 and 21.764.

Maggie runs 1/4 of a mile in 1.3 minutes. Olivia runs 2/3 of a mile in 2.9 minutes. Who runs faster? HOW MICH FASTER PER HOUR DOES THE PERSON RUN?

Answers

Answer:

Code: Olivia-2.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Maggie runs 1/4 of a mile in 1.3 minutes

1/4 can also be written as 0.25

Speed = [tex]\frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

Speed = [tex]\frac{0.25}{1.3}[/tex]

Speed of Maggie = 0.19 miles per minute

Speed of Maggie per hour = 0.19*60 = 11.40 miles per hour

Olivia runs 2/3 of a mile in 2.9 minutes

Speed = [tex]\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{2.9}=\frac{2}{2.9*3}[/tex]

Speed = [tex]\frac{2}{8.7}[/tex]

Speed of Olivia = 0.23 miles per minute

Speed of Olivia per hour = 0.23*60 = 13.80 miles per hour

Therefore,

Olivia runs faster.

Difference = 13.80 - 11.40 = 2.40 miles

Hence,

Code: Olivia-2.40

Answer:

Olivia-2.25

The function g is defined by:

Answers

g(x) = x² - x - 6

so

g (-4) = (-4)² - (-4) - 6 = 16 + 4 - 6 = 14

When g(x) = 6, we have

6 = x² - x - 6

x² - x - 12 = 0

Solve for x. We factorize this easily as

(x - 4) (x + 3) = 0

which gives

x - 4 = 0   or   x + 3 = 0

x = 4   or   x = -3

What is linear and non linearity in a graph?

A linear function is one that, when plotted, forms a straight line. Therefore, non-linear functions are all non-linear functions. We can discern if a function is linear or non-linear from its input/output table or equation, but graphing may be the quickest way to do it.

Something that is linear is related to a line. A line is built using all of the linear equations. A non-linear equation is one that cannot be represented by a straight line. It has a variable slope value and resembles a graphed curve.

Given:

We have the graph

From the graph we can see that when x<0 then there linearity or proportionality between x and y.

and, when x>0 then the graph is not a line it is turned out in a curve, which is not linear.

Hence, when x<0 the graph is linear and when x>0 then the graph is non- linear.
