5B + B = 20

6B = 20

B = 20 ÷ 6

= 10/3 hours

Then, A = 5 × (10/3 + 2)

= 5 × (16/3)

= 80/3 hours

Therefore, Brian traveled for 10/3 hours, and Annie traveled for 80/3 hours.

Find the slope of a pipe that slopes down 2/5 inch per foot.

babunello [11817]

Answer:

$m=\frac{1}{30}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the slope, divide the rise by the run to calculate the slope.

Note that

1 ft = 12 in

Let

y ----> the rise

x ----> the run

m ----> the slope

$m=\frac{y}{x}$

the values are given as

$y=2/5\ in$

$x=1\ ft=12\ in$

$m=\frac{y}{x}$

substituting these values gives

$m=\frac{(2/5)}{12}$

$m=\frac{2}{60}$

Simplifying further

$m=\frac{1}{30}$

AnnZ [12381]

Answer: a) $\bold{\dfrac{3}{16}}$ b) $\bold{\dfrac{1}{36}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To achieve an even total, there are 3 possible combinations:

1) Even, Even, Even, Even $\dfrac{3\times 3\times 3\times 3}{6^4} \quad = \dfrac{3^4}{6^4}\quad =\dfrac{1}{16}$

2) Even, Even, Odd, Odd $\dfrac{3\times 3\times 3\times 3}{6^4} \quad = \dfrac{3^4}{6^4}\quad =\dfrac{1}{16}$

3) Odd, Odd, Odd, Odd $\dfrac{3\times 3\times 3\times 3}{6^4} \quad = \dfrac{3^4}{6^4}\quad =\dfrac{1}{16}$

Order is irrelevant

Summing these yields your final result: $\dfrac{1}{16}+\dfrac{1}{16}+\dfrac{1}{16}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{3}{16}}$

b) If one die shows a 2 and another a 3, while the remaining two can show any digits, there’s only one way to get a 2, one way for a 3, and six potential numbers for each of the other two dice.

$\dfrac{1\times 1\times 6\times 6}{6^4}\quad =\dfrac{1}{6^2}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{1}{36}}$

The time it takes a printer to print a job is an Exponential random variable with the expectation of 12 seconds. You send a job

Leona [12618]

Answer:

0.8753

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the likelihood that your job will complete before 10:01 am.

In this scenario, the expected value of an Exponential distribution is E(X)=12.

To find the probability for the third job, we apply the Poisson Distribution with a parameter of 1/λ.

This gives us E(Y) =1/12.

Since the third job is expected to be ready by 10:01 AM, we have E(Y)=61/12.

Hence, the probability sought is

$P(X\geq 3)=1-P(X$

=1- POISSON(3,5,true)

=1-0.1246

=0.8753
