In 1 minute, it would travel 60/100 miles since if it covers 3/100 mile in 3 seconds, it implies that traveling 1/100 mile takes one second and hence a minute (60 seconds) equates to 60/100 of a mile.

The answer is 0.6 mile. Step-by-step explanation: Given the distance covered in 3 seconds is $\frac{3}{100}$ miles, we need to ascertain the distance it can cover in a minute. Since it can travel $\frac{3}{100}$ miles in 3 seconds, in 1 second it covers $\frac{3}{100\times3} =\frac{1}{100}$ miles. Consequently, over 60 seconds (1 minute), the distance traveled is calculated as mile. Thus, it will reach 0.6 mile in one minute.

A fox sees a rabbit 35 feet away and starts chasing it. As soon as the fox starts moving the rabbit sees it and starts running a

zzz [9080]

The fox’s speed needs to exceed that of the rabbit to successfully catch up. Thus, the required speed for the fox is expressed as 35/t + 40.

The distance separating the rabbit from the fox is 35 feet.

The speed of the rabbit is 40 feet per second.

Fox's speed = F

To calculate a precise speed for the fox, a specific time for the pursuit must be provided.

Let’s denote the time as t.

Recall that:

Speed = distance / time

Distance = speed × time

The distance the rabbit moves away from the fox after time t will be:

35 + (40 × t) = 35 + 40t

The distance traveled by the fox after time t is: fox speed × t = F × t.

To catch the rabbit, both the fox and rabbit must cover the same distance:

Rabbit's distance at time t equals Fox's distance at that time.

35 + 40t = Ft

To determine F, the fox's speed:

Dividing both sides by t yields:

(35 + 40t) / t = Ft/t

35/t + 40 = F

<pThus, the speed of the fox should be: 35/t + 40

To find out the exact speed of the fox, a specific time value must be provided.

Inessa [9000]

Answer:

(a) 1 in 365 or 0.2740%

(b) 0.8227%

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) For the first person's birthday, the probability that the second person has the same birthday is 1 out of 365, so the chance that the first two share a birthday is:

$P = \frac{1}{365}=0.2740\%$

(b) There are four scenarios possible where at least two individuals share a birthday: first and second, first and third, second and third, all three sharing the same birthday. Hence, the probability that at least two share their birthdays is:

$P =3* \frac{1}{365}+ (\frac{1}{365})^2\\ P=0.8227\%$
