The result:

is 2.5 hours.

Detailed explanation:

Let x denote the duration each steamer takes.

It is given that two steamers leave a port on a river simultaneously, heading in opposite directions.

\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}\times \text{Time}

Since they are both traveling at the same speed, the distance each steamer covers in x hours is 22x.

With the given distance of 110 miles traveled by both steamers, we can express this as an equation:

22x+22x=110

Let's solve for x:

44x=110

\frac{44x}{44}=\frac{110}{44}

x=\frac{10}{4}

x=2.5

Consequently, both steamers will take 2.5 hours to be 110 miles apart.

After 1 hour >> 44 miles apart
after 2 hours >> 88 miles apart
after 2.5 hours >> 110 miles apart

Yoku is putting on sunscreen. He uses 2\text{ ml}2 ml2, start text, space, m, l, end text to cover 50\text{ cm}^250 cm 2 50, sta
AnnZ [9071]

Answer:

13 Millilitres.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yoku applies 2ml to cover 50cm^2 of his skin.

He seeks to find out how many millilitres he needs to cover 325cm^2 of his body.

With 2ml, Yoku covers 50cm^2 of his skin

He will use \frac{2}{50}ml of sunscreen for covering 1cm^2 of his skin.

Thus:

For covering 325cm^2 of his body, he will require:

\frac{2}{50} X 325 ml\\=13ml

he would need 13 Millilitres.

Explain why the following expression is false. |x| < -4
Zina [9157]

Step-by-step explanation:

When a negative number is placed within a modulus function, the result will be positive. For instance, |-3| equals 3, |-6| equals 6, and |5| equals 5, etc.

A modulus function, expressed as |x|, is always positive unless x is zero, in which case it equals zero.

Consequently, |x| cannot be less than -4 because |x| is always non-negative. Thus, the statement is inaccurate.

Joaquin is four more than half Marjorie’s age. Marjorie is also 32 less than three times Joaquin’s age.
babunello [8402]

Answer:

Her age is 40 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Jerry's age be represented as j

Let Marjorie's age be denoted as m

The first part of the question states:

j = 4 + m/2

For the second equation:

m = 3j - 32

Multiply the first equation by 2 to get:

2j = 8 + m

Leading to m = 2j - 8

Set both equations for m equal to each other:

2j - 8 = 3j - 32

By simplifying, we get:

3j - 2j = 32 - 8

Therefore, j = 24

Now substituting back:

m = 2j - 8

m = 2(24) - 8

Thus, m = 48 - 8

Final result: m = 40

Nathan had an infection, and his doctor wanted him to take penicillin. Because Nathan’s father and paternal grandfather were all
Svet_ta [9486]

Let the events be defined as follows:
A=Nathan suffers from an allergy
~A=Nathan does not suffer from an allergy
T=Nathan receives a positive test result
~T=Nathan does not receive a positive test result

According to the provided data,
P(A)=0.75 [ probability indicating that Nathan is allergic ]
P(T|A)=0.98 [ probability of obtaining a positive test result if Nathan is allergic to Penicillin]

We aim to calculate the probability that Nathan is both allergic and tests positive
P(T n A)

Using the definition of conditional probability,
P(T|A)=P(T n A)/P(A)
By substituting the known values,
0.98 = P(T n A) / 0.75
We then solve for P(T n A)
P(T n A) = 0.75*0.98 = 0.735

Hope this assists you!!

The perimeter of a scalene triangle is 14.5 cm. The longest side is twice that of the shortest side. Which equation can be used
babunello [8402]
Let x = 6.2
Define y as half of x: y = 0.5x
Calculate y: y = 0.5 × 6.2 = 3.1
Calculate z by subtracting x and y from 14.5: z = 14.5 - 6.2 - 3.1 = 5.2
Each variable corresponds to a triangle side
