It takes 40 min for a bus to travel the 36 miles from Framingham to Worcester. A car traveling from Worcester to Framingham move

s 1.5 times as fast as the bus. If the car and the bus start moving towards each other simultaneously, after how many minutes will they meet?

The bus's speed is calculated as: velocity (bus) = 36 miles / 40 min, which simplifies to velocity (bus) = 0.9 miles / min. Given that the car's speed is 1.5 times that of the bus, we find: velocity (car) = 1.5 * 0.9 miles / min, leading to velocity (car) = 1.35 miles / min. At the point where they meet, the total distance covered equals 36 miles. Hence: 1.35 t + 0.9 t = 36, and thus 2.25 t = 36 resulting in t = 16 min. They will converge after 16 minutes.

ΔABC is an equilateral triangle. m∠A = (3x - 12)°. Solve for x.
zzz [9080]
In the case of an equilateral triangle ABC, each angle measures 60 degrees, as the total angle sum in any triangle is 180 degrees, and dividing that by 3 yields 60. Setting this equal to 3x-12, we have 60 = 3x - 12. After adding 12 to both sides, we get 72 = 3x, and dividing 72 by 3 gives us x = 24.66! I hope this clarifies things for you!

The calculation needed to find the cost of the factory tour was $5(29 students). Melissa used the expression $5(20 + 9). Mrs. Ga
AnnZ [9099]
Honestly, I find Mrs. Garcia's method easier to perform mentally. It hinges on how familiar you are with your multiples of 5. (5*15 = 75 is a multiplication I often use)

Melissa's approach involves calculating 5*20 = 100 and 5*9 = 45, then combines the 3-digit result 100 with the 2-digit result 45, yielding 145. Adding 45 to 00 is simple and doesn’t require carrying digits, thus the arithmetic is fairly straightforward.

Mrs. Garcia's technique involves computing 5*14 = 70 and 5*15 = 75, then summing these two-digit results. Many people may not readily recall that 5*15=75, which complicates forming that product. The addition of 70 and 75 requires a carrying operation, making the math somewhat more complex. The resulting total is 145.

(The rationale behind my preference for Mrs. Garcia's method is that I can achieve the final sum by simply doubling 7 tens, followed by adding 5. The only 3-digit number to remember mentally is the ultimate total.)

_____Subtraction introduces a slight complication, yet reshaping it as $5(30 -1) = $150 - 5 = $145 is possible.
Or, you may reframe it as $5(28 +1) = $140 +5 = $145.
Dividing an even number by 2 to find the product of 5 is straightforward when you append a zero.
  5*14 = 10*7 = 70
  5*28 = 10*14 = 140.

Student researchers Haley, Jeff, and Nathan saw an article on the Internet claiming that the average vertical jump for teens was
tester [8842]

Answer:

At the α = 0.10 level, there is no substantial evidence indicating that the average vertical jump for students at this school differs from 15 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

A hypothesis test is necessary to verify the assertion that the average vertical jump of students diverges from 15 inches.

The null and alternative hypotheses are:

H_0: \mu=15\\\\H_a: \mu\neq15

The significance level is set at 0.10.

The sample mean recorded is 17, and the sample standard deviation is 5.37.

The degrees of freedom are calculated as df=(20-1)=19.

The t-statistic is:

t_{19}=\frac{M-\mu}{s_M/\sqrt{n}} =\frac{17-15}{5.37/\sqrt{20}}=\frac{2}{5.37/4.47} =2/1.20=1.67

The two-tailed P-value corresponding to t=1.67 is P=0.11132.

<pSince this P-value exceeds the significance level, the result is not significant. Therefore, the null hypothesis remains unchallenged.

At the α = 0.10 level, there is no compelling evidence that the average vertical jump of students at this school deviates from 15 inches.
