Kevin made a business trip of 312.5 miles. He averages 60 mph for the first part of the trip and 55 mph for the second part. If the trip took a 5.5 hours how long did he travel at each rate

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Kevin travels for 2 hours at 60 mph and 3.5 hours at 55 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that Kevin spends x hours going 60 mph and y hours going 55 mph. We can say that the sum of the two parts is 5.5, so x+y = 5.5 . Next, he goes 60 miles per hour for the first part of the trip, so for each hour he goes 60 mph, he travels 60 miles. We can then denote 60 * x as the distance traveled during the first part of his trip as he goes 60 mph for x hours. Similarly, 55 * y denotes the distance Kevin travels during the second part of his trip. His total distance is thus 60 * x + 55 * y = 312.5 miles

We have

x + y = 5.5

60 * x + 55 * y = 312.5

One way we can solve this is to solve for y in the first equation and plug that into the second. Subtracting x from both sides in the first equation, we get

y = 5.5 - x

Plugging that into the second equation, we get

60 * x + 55 * (5.5-x) = 312.5

60 * x + 55 * 5.5 - 55x = 312.5

5x  +302.5 = 312.5

subtract 302.5 from both sides to isolate the x and its coefficient

5x = 10

divide both sides by 5 to solve for x

x = 2

y = 5.5 - x = 5.5 - 2 = 3.5

Therefore, Kevin travels for 2 hours at 60 mph and 3.5 hours at 55 mph

josue bought 7 pounds of pretzels at a local wholesaler for $16.80. his friend ricardo bought 5 pounds of pretzels at the supermarket for $12.75. Ricardo thinks he got the better deal because $12.75 is less than $16.80. Is Ricardo's reasoning correct? Explain why or why not.

Answers

(josue) 16.8/7 = $2.4 per lb
(ricardo) 12.75/5 = $2.55 per lb

ricardo is incorrect because if you solve for the price per pound ( price/amount ), josue paid $2.40 for each pound of pretzels while ricardo paid $2.55 per pound. ricardo ended up paying more.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the purpose of selecting the appropriate tile, it is only necessary to figure the real part of the sum or product.

We notice that the second product (-xy) is -1/2 times the first product (2xy). This can let you find the answers on that basis alone. The only tiles with a (-1) : (2) relationship are (-29 -53i) : (58 +106i).

Hence the sequence of answers needed on the right side is as shown above.

Additional comment

You know that arithmetic operations with complex numbers (multiplication and addition) are identical to those operations performed on any polynomials. That is, "i" can be treated as a variable. The simplification comes at the end, where any instances of i² can be replaced by -1.

  xy = (3 +8i)(7 -i) = 3·7 -3·i +8·7·i -8·i·i = 21 +53i -8i²

  = (21 +8) +53i . . . . replaced i² with -1, so -8i² = +8

At a Noodles & Company restaurant, the probability that a customer will order a nonalcoholic beverage is .50. Find the probability that in a sample of 14 customers, at least 7 will order a nonalcoholic beverage

Answers

For each customer, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will order an alcoholic beverage, or they will not. The probability of a customer ordering an alcoholic beverage is independent of any other customer, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question..

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

At a Noodles & Company restaurant, the probability that a customer will order a nonalcoholic beverage is .50

This means that [tex]p = 0.5[/tex]

Sample of 14 customers

This means that [tex]n = 14[/tex]

Probability that at least 7 will order a nonalcoholic beverage

This is:

[tex]P(X \geq 7) = 1 - P(X < 7)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X < 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{14,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{14} = 0.0001[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{14,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{13} = 0.0009[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{14,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{12} = 0.0056[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{14,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{11} = 0.0222[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{14,4}.(0.5)^{4}.(0.5)^{10} = 0.0611[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{14,5}.(0.5)^{5}.(0.5)^{9} = 0.1222[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 6) = C_{14,6}.(0.5)^{6}.(0.5)^{8} = 0.1833[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X < 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.0001 + 0.0009 + 0.0056 + 0.0222 + 0.0611 + 0.1222 + 0.1833 = 0.3954[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 7) = 1 - P(X < 7) = 1 - 0.3954 = 0.6046[/tex]

0.6046 = 60.46% probability that at least 7 will order a nonalcoholic beverage.
