Jee from Boton goe to hi grandpa Iaac in New York by bu at an average peed of 35 mph and it take him 6 hour. In a while, Jee and Iaac go back from New York to Boton in Iaac' car at an average peed of 42 mph. How long doe Jee' trip from New York to Boton take?

Answers

Answer 1

Jee's trip from New York to Boston would take approximately time 4.5 hours.

To calculate the time it would take Jee to travel from New York to Boston, we need to divide the total distance (approximately 280 miles) by the average speed (42 mph). This gives us a total time of 6.67 hours. We then need to subtract the time it took Jee to travel from Boston to New York (6 hours) to get the total time for the return trip. 6.67 hours - 6 hours = 4.5 hours. Therefore, Jee's trip from New York to Boston takes approximately time 4.5 hours. Jee's trip from New York to Boston would take approximately 4.5 hours.

Bob grows tomatoes in his garden. He picked four tomatoes, and weighed every possible grouping of three tomatoes. The results are 900 grams, 1400 grams, 1600 grams, and 1800 grams. What is the weight of the biggest tomato?
Answers could be 600, 800, 900, 1000, 1200

Answers

Answer:

1000.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need 4 weights where 3 of them add up to

900, 1400, 1600 or 1800g.

Not sure of the method for doing this!

Lets assume that the answer is 1000 g.

Then the  3 that make 1800 could be

1000 500 and 300

- then to make 900 we need a 100g tomato giving:

1000 500 300 and 100 grams

So the 1400 will be the 1000, 300 and 100 tomato

and the 1600 will be 1000, 500 and 100.

That seems to fit !!

Answers

Answer:

2 face cards

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, there are 12 face cards (Kings, queens, and jacks) and 36 numbered cards (2's through 10's) in a standard deck of 52 cards.  Aces are not considered face cards (no face on the card).

The ratio of face cards in a full deck is (12/52) or slightly over 23%.

The likelihood of a face card in a hand of 8 cards is:

(8 cards)*(12 face cards/52 cards) = 1.85 cards.  We need to round to the nearest whole card, so the expected number of face cards in a hand of 8 is 2 cards.

the value of 'x' is 0. 9

How to determine the value

For the given triangle, we have the;

Adjacent side = 7Opposite side = 13 + x

We want to find the value of x

Using the tangent ratio

Tan θ = opposite/adjacent

Let's substitute the value of theta, opposite and adjacent

Tan 60 = 13 + x / 7

1. 73 = 13+ x/ 7

cross multiply

1. 73 × 7 = 13 + x

12. 1 = 13 + x

x = 13 - 12. 1

x = 0. 9

We can see that the value of x is 0. 9

Use the distributive property with factoring to find the equivalent expression. 20a + 28b = ( a + 7b)

Answers

The equivalent expression after factoring 20a + 28b = ( a + 7b) using the distributive property is 19a + 21b = 0.

What is Distributive Property?

According to the distributive property, an expression in the form A (B + C) can be solved as A (B + C) = AB + AC. This distributive law applies to subtraction as well and is written as A (B - C) = AB - AC. This means that operand A is shared by the other two operands.

The given equation is  20a + 28b = ( a + 7b).

20a + 28b = ( a + 7b).
Now, subtract both sides by a.
20a - a + 28b = a + 7b - a.

19a + 28b = 7b.
Now, subtracting both sides by 7b.
19a + 28b - 7b = 7b - 7b.
19a + 21b = 0.
Therefore, the equivalent expression to  20a + 28b = ( a + 7b) is 19a + 21b = 0.

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rectangle is 15*20=300

Area of the triangle is 8*17/2=68

Total area is 300+68=368

Perimeter is 15+20+20+8+17=80

Answer:

[tex]\rm {P = 80 \space\ feet,\space\ A = 360 \space\ square \space\ feet}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a shape is the sum of all the sides of the shape.

• Perimeter of the polygon = 15 + 20 + 17 + 8 + 20

                                            = 80 feet

To find the area of the polygon, we can separately find the areas of the triangle and the rectangle and then add them together.

• Area of rectangle = length × breadth

                                = 15 × 20

                                = 300 square feet

• Area of triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × base × height

As the height of the triangle is not provided, we have to calculate it.
Let the height of triangle = [tex]x[/tex]

Using Pythagoras's theorem:
[tex]x^2 + 8^2 = 17^2[/tex]

⇒  [tex]x^2 = 17^2 - 8^2[/tex]

⇒  [tex]x = \sqrt{17^2 - 8^2}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x=\bf15[/tex]

Now using this value of height, we can find the area of the triangle:

Area of triangle =  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]  × 8 × 15

                          = 60 square feet

• Finally, we can add the areas of the triangle and rectangle together to find the area of the polygon:

Area of polygon = 300 + 60

                           = 360 square feet

How many angles are alternate exterior angles with angle 5?


Picture below:

Answers

The number of angles that are alternate exterior with angle 5 is one, which is angle 11.

What are Alternate Exterior Angles?

Alternate exterior angles are formed on the outside of the two parallel lines that are intersected by a transversal, each being located on the opposite side of the transversal.

The alternate exterior angle pairs are two angles that are supplementary. This means they add up to give a sum of 180 degrees.

Considering transversal s and parallel lines t and u, the angle that is an alternate angle to angle 5 is angle 11.

Angle 11 is the only angle that is alternate exterior angles with angle 5. therefore, we can conclude that, the number of angles that are alternate exterior with angle 5 is just 1, which is angle 11.

We can do it as follows:

cos⁴ θ

= (1/4)[1 + cos 2θ]²

= (1/4)(1 + 2cos 2θ + cos² 2θ] {Using (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²}

= 1/4 + (1/2)cos 2θ + (1/4)(cos ² 2θ)

The bearing to take is 134 degrees and the shortest distance is 14.3 km

The bearing it would take

The attached diagram represents a labelled version of the ship movement

The angle at Q is

Q = 180 - 155 + 90 + 120 - 90

This gives

Q = 145

The distance PR is calculated as:

PR^2 =PQ^2 + QR^2 - 2 * PQ * QR * cos(Q)

This gives

PR^2 = 9^2 + 6^2 - 2 * 9 * 6 * cos(145)

Evaluate

PR^2 = 205.46

Take the square root

PR = 14.3 km

The angle at P is then calculated as:

QR/sin(P) = PR/sin(Q)

This gives

6/sin(P) = 14.3/sin(145)

Evaluate the quotient

6/sin(P) = 24.93

Make sin(P) the subject

sin(P) = 6/24.93

Divide

sin(P) = 0.2407

Take the arc sin of both sides

P = 14

The bearing is then calculated as:

Bearing = P + 120

This gives

Bearing = 14 + 120

Evaluate

Bearing = 134

Hence, the bearing to take is 134 degrees

The shortest distance

In (a), we have

PR = 14.3 km

This represents the shortest distance

Hence, the shortest distance is 14.3 km

The auditor charges this fee based on certain factors such as the complexity of the services to be performed, the expertise required to carry out the services, etc. Altham (1978) introduced the discrete distribution f(x;7, 0) = c(7,0) (%) **(1 11)-xgxn-x), *= 0,1..., n, = where cart, 0) is a normalizing constant. Show that this is in the two-parameter exponential family and that the binomial occurs when 0 = 1. (Altham noted that overdispersion occurs when 0 < 1. Lindsey and Altham (1998) used this as the basis of an alternative model to the beta-binomial.) according to research by baltes and associates, in which decade is the growth of wisdom likely to be greatest? many speakers try to cover too much material in a single presentation, which may be a result of their failure to effectively consider the occasion.T/F 3.Explain how a feminist or gender activist would react to Coka's reference to the role of men in the growth of African nationalism? What are sets of interacting components working within an environment to fulfill some purpose? Solve for x. the polygons in each pair are similar Solve each of these congruences using the modular in-verses found in parts (b), (c), and (d) of Exercise 5.a) 19x4 (mod 141)b) 55x 34 (mod 89)c) 89x 2 (mod 232) explain why the mr curve lies below the demand curve for a single-price monopolist. Pileated Woodpeckers (Dryocopus pileatus) excavate large ( >45 cm ) cavities in trees that they use for nests and roosts. Wood Ducks (Aix spons) also build nests in suitable tree holes, but cannot excavate their own cavities. Consequently, they frequently use nests of Pileated Woodpeckers. Based on this information, which of the following statements is correct? Wood Ducks are ecosystem engineers because they nest in cavities built by woodpeckers. Pileated Woodpeckers are ecosystem engineers because they excavate tree cavities that Wood Ducks use to build their nests. Pileated Woodpeckers are ecosystem engineers because they excavate tree cavities to build their own nests. Neither species is an ecosystem engineer by virtue of their nesting habit.
