Two athletes practice for a marathon by running back and forth on an 11-mile course. They start running simultaneously, one at a speed 2 mph faster than the other's speed. How fast does each run if they meet 1 hour 6 minutes after starting? (The faster runner is already returning at this point.) How far from the starting point do the runners meet?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Faster runner speed: 11 mph

Slower runner speed: 9 mph

Distance from starting point: 9.9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the slower runner speed be: x

Faster runner speed: x+2

1 hour 6 minutes = 1.1 hours

Slower: 1.1(x) = 1.1x miles

Faster: 1.1(x+2) = 1.1x+2.2 miles

This means that the faster runner had gone 2.2 miles more than the slower runner.

1.1x + 2.2 > 11 miles (This is true as we know the faster runner is coming back from the 11 mile run)

1.1x > 11 - 2.2 miles

1.1x > 8.8 miles

x > 8.8 / 2.2 miles

x > 8 mph

1.1x < 11 miles (we know this is true as the slower runner has to have gone less than 11 miles as the faster runner met him on his way back)

x < 11 / 1.1 miles

x < 10 miles

8 < x < 10

Although x could be any number including decimal between 8 and 10, the obvious first answer would be 9. However we need to check if this answer is correct.

Slower runner distance to the end:

1.1(9) = 9.9 miles

11 - 9.9 = 1.1 miles

Faster runners distance from the end (when coming back)

1.1(9+2) = 1.1(11) = 12.1 miles

12.1 - 11 = 1.1 miles

The speeds 9 mph and 11 mph are now proven to be the right speeds. Using our equation before, we can figure out the distance from the starting point that they meet at. This is just how far the slower runner has gotten. So, 1.1(9) = 9.9 miles from the starting point

Enter the correct answers in the boxes.

Answers

Answer:

Veronica's age now =8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Veronica's age now = x years

Georgia's age now = 5x  - 7

Veronica age after 6 year = 14

x + 6  = 14

       x  = 14 - 6

       x = 8 years

(5,3) will make a rhombus.

What is Rhombus?

A Quadrilateral with all sides equal but with nonequal diagonals is know as Rhombus.

How to solve?

Let D have coordinate (x,y)

The length of all the sides of the rhombus is equal.

length of AB = [tex]\sqrt{({2-3})^2 + ({2-4})^2} = \sqrt{1+4} = \sqrt{5}[/tex]

Similarly BD = [tex]\sqrt{({3-x})^2 + ({4-y})^2} = \sqrt{25+{x}^2+{y}^2-6x-8y}[/tex] -------------(1)

CD = [tex]\sqrt{({4-x})^2 + ({1-y})^2} = \sqrt{17+{x}^2+{y}^2-8x-2y}[/tex] -------------(2)

We know BD = CD gives,

[tex]\sqrt{17+{x}^2+{y}^2-8x-2y} = \sqrt{25+{x}^2+{y}^2-6x-8y}[/tex]

By squaring both sides and solving we get,

3y - x = 4 ----------------------(3)

Since BCD is a right-angled triangle,

[tex]{BC}^2 = {BD}^2 + {CD}^2[/tex]  

BC = [tex]\sqrt{10}[/tex]

10 = 5 + [tex]\sqrt{17+{x}^2+{y}^2-8x-2y}[/tex]

8  = [tex]{x}^2+{y}^2-8x-2y[/tex] -------------------(4)

solving equation (3) and (4) we get x = 5 and y = 3

The plant manager receiving the circuits randomly selects 2, without replacement, and tests them. If both circuits work, the manager will accept the shipment. Otherwise the shipment is rejected. What is the probability that the shipment is accepted

Answers

Answer:

the probability that the shipment is accepted is 0.8865

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

N = 86,  n/d = 5 and n = 2

now, without replacement

the probability that the shipment is accepted will be;

probability that the shipment is accepted = probability that non is defectives

so p( non is defective ) = ( (86-5)/86) × ((86-5-1)/(86-1))            

p( non is defective ) =  ( 81 / 86) × (80/85)

p( non is defective ) =  0.8865

Therefore, the probability that the shipment is accepted is 0.8865
