Mort and George are 18 miles apart on a path when they start moving toward each other. Mort runs at a constant speed of 7 miles per hour, and George walks at a constant speed of 5 miles per hour. How long does it take until Mort and George meet?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  1 1/2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In one hour, the distance between them is reduced by 7+5 = 12 miles. At that rate, the 18 mile distance between them will be reduced to zero in ...

  time = distance/speed

  time = (18 mi)/(12 mi/h) = 3/2 h

It will take 1 1/2 hours until Mort and George meet.

third test, his score was 1 more than on the second. His average on the three tests was 83.
What were his grades on the second and third tests?

Answers

Answer:

Second test=88

Third test=89    Hope this helps please mark brainliest it helps a lot! Thanks!

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, here we got to know that John scored 72 points in the first test

In the second he scored higher than the 1st test

In the third he scored 1 mark more than the second test

His average in the three tests was 83

So,

Let's the marks scored in the 2nd test be x

Hence, in the third test he got x + 1

Average is 83

A water bottling facility has a mean bottling rate of 33.5 thousand bottles per hour with a standard deviation of 1.92 thousand bottles. A nearby cola bottling facility has a mean bottling rate of 26.2 thousand bottles per hour with a standard deviation of 1.42 thousand bottles. One Wednesday from noon to 1:00 p.m., the water bottling facility bottled 34.9 thousand bottles of water, and the cola bottling facility bottled 26.8 thousand bottles of cola. Which facility increased their efficiency more during that hour

Answers

Using z-scores, we have that due to the higher z-score, the water bottling facility increased their efficiency more during that hour.

In a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.  

In this problem, the facility with the higher z-score increased their efficiency more during that hour.

For the water bottling facility, we have that [tex]\mu = 33.5, \sigma = 1.92, X = 34.9[/tex], hence:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{34.9 - 33.5}{1.92}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.73[/tex]

For the cola bottling facility, we have that [tex]\mu = 26.2, \sigma = 1.42, X = 26.8[/tex], hence:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{26.8 - 26.2}{1.42}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.42[/tex]

Due to the higher z-score, the water bottling facility increased their efficiency more during that hour.

Matthew Bailey, as manager of Designs by Bailey, is upgrading his CAD software. The high-performance (HP) software rents for $3,000 per month per workstation. The standard-performance (SP) software rents for $2,000 per month per workstation. The productivity figures that he has available suggest that the HP software is faster for his kind of design. Therefore, with the HP software he will need five engineers and with the SP software he will need six. This translates into a variable cost of $200 per drawing for the HP system and $240 per drawing for the SP system. At his projected volume of 80 drawings per month, which system should he rent?

Answers

Using linear functions, it is found that the high-performance system should be rented.

A linear function has the following format:

[tex]y = ax + b[/tex]

In which:

a is the slope, which is the variable cost.b is the y-intercept, which is the fixed cost.

With the high-performance software:

Fixed cost of $3,000 per month, hence [tex]b = 3000[/tex].Cost of $200 per drawing, hence [tex]a = 200[/tex]

Then, the model is:

[tex]C_{hp}(d) = 3000 + 200d[/tex]

With the standard-performance software:

Fixed cost of $2,000 per month, hence [tex]b = 2000[/tex].Cost of $240 per drawing, hence [tex]a = 240[/tex]

Then, the model is:

[tex]C_{sp}(d) = 2000 + 240d[/tex]

The costs for 80 drawings, that is, [tex]d = 80[/tex] for both cases are given by:

[tex]C_{hp}(80) = 3000 + 200(80) = 19000[/tex]

[tex]C_{sp}(80) = 2000 + 240(80) = 21200[/tex]

Due to the lower cost, the high-performance system should be rented.

The diameter of Pilar's bike wheel is 24 inches.
How far does Pilar's bike travel when the wheel makes
10 complete rotations?

Answers

The distance Pilar's bike travel when the wheel makes  10 complete rotations is 753.6 inches

Since the wheel is circular in nature, we will take the circumference to determine the distance travelled for 1 revolution

Circumference of a circle = πr²

r is the radius of the wheel.

Given that d = 24 in, r = 24/2 = 12in

C = 2(3.14)(12)

C = 75.36 in

Hence the distance completed by 1 revolution is 75.36. If Pilar's bike makes 10 revolutions, hence the required distance will be:

D = 10 * 75.36

D = 753.6in

Hence the distance Pilar's bike travel when the wheel makes  10 complete rotations is 753.6 inches

Triangle A is a scaled version of triangle B. The dimensions of triangle A are twice the dimensions of triangle B. The area of triangle B is 40.5 sq cm. What is the area of triangle A?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the lengths of any line (side, height,...) in A is twice as long as in B.

now, the area of a triangle is

baseline × height / 2

so, two lines are multiplied. that means the factor 2 gets multiplied in 2 times. and that means the area increases by the factor 2×2 = 4

therefore, the area of A is

40.5 × 4 = 162 cm²
