A plane travels 1200 miles from San Diego, Ca to Portland, Oregon. On the way there, the plane traveled with the wind and made it in 4 hours. On the return trip, the plane traveled against the wind and made it in 6 hours. Find the speed of the plane and the speed of the wind.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Speed of plane is 250 miles per hour and speed of wind is 50 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the wind. When travelling with the wind, the plane travels 1200 miles within 4 hours. Hence the speed of the plane with the wind is:

speed = distance / time = 1200 miles / 4 hours = 300 miles per hour

When travelling against the wind, the plane travels 1200 miles within 6 hours. Hence the speed of the plane against the wind is:

speed = distance / time = 1200 miles / 6 hours = 200 miles per hour

Therefore:

300 - x = 200 + x

300 - 200 = x + x

2x = 100

x = 50 miles per hour

The speed of the wind = 50 miles per hour. The speed of the plane = 300 - 50 = 200 + 50 = 250 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

You're playing a game where you defend your village for me or evasion there are three characters of habit or human and five defensive tools magic sword shield slingshot or umbrella to pick from if you randomly choose your character into what is your probability that you won't be a hobby or use an umbrella

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit\ or\ Not\ Umbrella) = \frac{14}{15}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question is poorly formatted (See comment section for complete question)

Given

[tex]x = \{elf, hobbit, human\}[/tex] ---- characters

[tex]n(x) =3[/tex]

[tex]y = \{Magic,Sword,Shield,Slingshot,Umbrella\}[/tex] --- tools

[tex]n(y) = 5[/tex]

Required

The probability that your character won't be a hobbit or your tool won't be an umbrella?

First we calculate the probability of choosing a hobbit.

[tex]x = \{elf, hobbit, human\}[/tex]

[tex]n(hobbit) = 1[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(hobit) = \frac{n(hobbit)}{n(x)}[/tex]

[tex]P(hobit) = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Using the complement rule, we calculate the probability of not choosing a hobbit

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit) = 1 - P(hobbit)[/tex]

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit) = 1 - \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit) =\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Next, we calculate the probability of choosing an umbrella.

[tex]y = \{Magic,Sword,Shield,Slingshot,Umbrella\}[/tex]

[tex]n(Umbrella) = 1[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(Umbrella) = \frac{n(Umbrella)}{n(y)}[/tex]

[tex]P(Umbrella) = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Using the complement rule, we calculate the probability of not choosing an umbrella

[tex]P(Not\ Umbrella) = 1 - \P(Umbrella)[/tex]

[tex]P(Not\ Umbrella) = 1 - \frac{1}{5}[/tex]

[tex]P(Not\ Umbrella) = \frac{4}{5}[/tex]

The required probability is calculated using:

[tex]P(A\ or\ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A)P(B)[/tex]

In this case;

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit\ or\ Not\ Umbrella) = P(Not\ hobbit) + P(Not\ Umbrella) -[/tex] [tex]P(Not\ hobbit)*P(Not\ Umbrella)[/tex]

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit\ or\ Not\ Umbrella) = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{4}{5} - \frac{2}{3} * \frac{4}{5}[/tex]

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit\ or\ Not\ Umbrella) = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{4}{5} - \frac{8}{15}[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit\ or\ Not\ Umbrella) = \frac{10+12-8}{15}[/tex]

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit\ or\ Not\ Umbrella) = \frac{14}{15}[/tex]

A small business wants to meet the minimum medical loss ratio required. If projections show that the business will pay out an average of $8,900 per policy holder in health care claims, what is the minimum average premium they should charge per policy holder?

Answers

Answer:

$7120 or $7565 is the minimum average premium they should charge per policy holder

Step-by-step explanation:

Small business can charge 80-85% of the total value of the policy as premium.

In this case the spending per policy holder is $8900

Hence, per policy holder has to pay a premium of

80-85% of $8900

Answers

Answer:

50.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = pi*r^2

r = diameter/2

r = 4

Area = pi*4^2

Area = 3.14*16

Area = 50.24

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area A of a circle of radius r is A = πr², where π is often approximated by 3.14.

Here, with the circle diameter being 8, we figure the radius to be half that, or 4.

Then the area of this circle is A = (3.14)(4 in)², or

                                                 A  =  50.24 in²

There are 10 sweets in a box. There are n jelly beans and the rest are cola bottles. Colin takes 2 sweets out of the box at random. Write an expression for the probability of getting 2 jelly beans. Give your expression as a single fraction and simplify fully.

Answers

The probability expression is n/10 * (n - 1)/9 and the single fraction is n(n - 1)/90

How to determine the probability expression?

We understand that there are 10 sweets in the box

Such that

Jelly beans = n

This means that

The rest = 10 - Jelly beans

So, we have

The rest = 10 - n

The probability of 2 jelly bean sweet is represented as

P(2 jelly bean sweets) = P(First jelly bean sweets) * P(Second jelly bean sweets)

This gives

P(2 jelly bean sweets) = n/10 * (n - 1)/9

Solving further, we have

P(2 jelly bean sweets) = n(n - 1)/90

Hence, the probability is n(n - 1)/90

i think of a number add three to it and multiply the outcome by 7 the solution is 24.5 set up an equation and solve it to find my original number

Answers

First step is breaking down the word problem.
I think of a number.
U don’t know the number so called it x
The number add 3.
X + 3
Then it says multiply the outcome by 7
You are not sure what what the outcome could be so you put it in brackets
(X+3) times it by 7
(X+3) 7
The solution is 24.5
Solution means equal
(X+3) 7 = 24.5
Now you have the equation
To solve for x
By the BOMDAS method
You times 7 by what is inside the brackets
7x + 21 = 24.5
Now transpose
7x = 24.5 - 21
7x = 3.5
Divide both sides by 7
7x/7 = 3.5/7
Which cancel out 7 and leave x
So the original number is
Or u could say x = 0.5

Doug worked 1 minute longer than Cathy.

Answer:

a.) Doug worked more. b.)The difference is one minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

CAN BE DONE DIFFERENTLY

Cathy has 4 & 15 minutes, since each hour is 60 minutes we can multiply 60 by 4.

60

Answers

Answer:

m<RPS = 53 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached

From the diagram shown;

m<QPR + m<RPS = 90

Given that;

m<QPR = x

m<RPS = x+16

Substitute into the formula;

m<QPR + m<RPS = 90

x+x+16 = 90

2x+16 = 90

2x = 90-16

2x = 74

x = 74/2

x = 37degrees

Get m<RPS;

Since m<RPS = x+16

m<RPS = 37 + 16

m<RPS = 53 degrees

What is the experimental probability that she will arrive at work before 7:30 A.M. On her next day of work? What is the experimental probability that she will arrive after 7:30 A.M.?

Answers

Answer:

Prob (Arrive before 7.30) =  14 / 25 ; Prob (Arrive after 7.30) = 11 / 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Prob (Arrive before 7.30) = No. of days before 7.30 arrival / Total work days

= 28 / 50  = 14 / 25

Prob (Arrive after 7.30) = No. of days after 7.30 arrival / Total work days

= (50 - 28) / 50 = 22 / 50 = 11 / 25

or , 1 - Prob (Arrive before 7.30) = 1 - 14/25 = (25 - 11) / 25 = 11/ 25

Plug in the volume and radius, and solve for h, the height:

V = [tex]\pi[/tex]r²[tex]\frac{h}{3}[/tex]

27[tex]\pi[/tex] = [tex]\pi[/tex](3²)[tex]\frac{h}{3}[/tex]

27[tex]\pi \\[/tex] = 9[tex]\pi[/tex][tex]\frac{h}{3}[/tex]
