Answer:

175/3 or 58.333...

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be complex, but I'll simplify it. I apologize for the challenges involved in formatting fractions correctly. To ensure accuracy, I've added several parentheses that may seem unnecessary.

Let d denote the distance between the two cities.

The time it takes can be expressed as d/r, where r represents the speed; thus, from B to NY, it is d/50.

In the same manner, from NY to B, it's d/70.

The average velocity can be determined as 2d divided by the sum of d/50 and d/70, representing the average time.

Next, eliminate d from the equation to reach (d/d)*2/(1/50+1/70).

Now, you can multiply by the Least Common Multiple (LCM) over itself, which is 350/350.

The result after performing this calculation will yield 700/12, equating to 58.333...(This is how you would enter it into your RSM browser) I hope this clarification is useful. My apologies for the delay.

PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

(C) 10% to 70%(

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that at least 40% of the students are learning German, the upper limit of those who might be enrolled in English but not in German is 60%. However, since a minimum of 70% study English, it leads to the conclusion that at least 10% of students must be taking both German and English.

If we consider that at least 30% of students are learning Italian, and assuming that no student is studying all three languages simultaneously, then there is a maximum of 70% of students who could potentially be registered in both English and German.

This means the possible percentage for students enrolled in both English and German ranges from 10% to 70%

Two players A and B play a marble game. Each player has both a red and blue marble. They present one marble to each other. If bo
Zina [12379]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Player A has a red marble and a blue marble, while Player B also has a red marble and a blue marble.

Therefore, the probability of selecting one marble is equal, at 0.5.

Due to the independence of A and B's choices, the joint event is calculated by multiplying the probabilities.

Let A represent the amount that player A wins.

If both players select one marble, the sample space can be considered as

             (R,R)  (R,B)  (B,R) (B,B)

Probability     0.25  0.25  0.25  0.25

A's winnings          3       -2     -2       1

E(A)      0.75   -0.5    -0.5   0.25   =    0

Thus, the game is even, offering equal expected values for both A and B.

It does not influence the outcome whether you are A or B.

Answer: 6000 steps Step-by-step explanation: 1/15 +1/10+1/2=2/30+3/30+15/30=20/30=2/3. Therefore, 2/3 equals 12000 steps, meaning 1/3 is 6000 steps. Overall, she should tally 18000 steps, and she has recorded 12000 steps, hence 18000-12000=6000 steps.

If bc = 8.3 cd = 6.7 and ad = 11.6 find ab to the nearest tenth
babunello [11817]
This may be a bit awkward to explain in writing, so please bear with me:)

You are given the equations. Begin by focusing on ad = 11.6. Treating variables normally, this reads as a times d = 11.6.
From that, d = 11.6/a by dividing both sides by a.

With d expressed, substitute (11.6/a) into cd = 6.7. Then isolate c by multiplying both sides by a/11.6, yielding c = (6.7a)/11.6.

Now that c is known, insert (6.7a)/11.6 for c in bc = 8.3. The algebra becomes a bit messy, but solving for b gives approximately 14.3705 / a. Since you need ab, multiply both sides by a, and rounding to one decimal place produces ab = 14.4
