South Central High Students' Council is traveling to Redding for the Students' Council National Conference. From the travel budg

et allowed for the trip, they have two options. They can leave by express train tonight, or they can save one hour by leaving tomorrow morning and flying which travels 40 km/h faster than the train. If the distance between South Central High and Redding is 480 km, determine how long it will take to travel by flying, rounded to the nearest hour.

Answer:

3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between South Central High and Redding = 480km

Distance= Average Speed X Time

Let the speed of the express train=x

Let the time taken BG the train=t

For the train:

480=xt...(1)

Since the plane flies 40km/hr faster

Speed of the Plane=x+40

They can save one hour using the plane, so Time taken by the plane

=(t-1)hours

For the plane:

Distance= Average Speed X Time

480=(x+40)(t-1)....(2)

Equate equations 1 and 2 since the distances are equal.

xt=(x+40)(t-1)

xt=xt-x+40t-40

x=40t-40

Substitute x=40t-40 into equation (1)

480=xt

480=(40t-40)t

40t²-40t-480=0

Dividing all through by 40

t²-t-12=0

t²-4t+3t-12=0

t(t-4)+3(t-4)=0

(t-4)(t+3)=0

t-4=0 or t+3=0

t= 4hours (Since t cannot be negative)

Since it will take (t-1) hours to fly, it takes 3 hours to fly to Redding.

In 1944 Elion joined the Burroughs Wellcome Laboratories (now part of GlaxoSmithKline (a company that makes prescription medicines)). There she was first the assistant and then the colleague of Hitchings, with whom she worked for the next four decades. Elion and Hitchings developed an array (variety) of new drugs that were effective against leukemia, autoimmune disorders, urinary-tract infections, gout, malaria, and viral herpes. Their success was due primarily to their innovative (characterized by new or unique) research methods. Rather than using the trial-and-error approach used by previous pharmacologists, Elion and Hitchings examined the difference between the biochemistry of normal human cells and that of cancer cells, bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens (disease-causing agents). They used this information to create drugs that could target a particular pathogen without harming the human host's normal cells. Their methods enabled them to eliminate much of the guesswork and wasted effort typical in previous drug research.

lapo4ka [179]
In the long run, you will lose $1 per game.

To find the expected value of this game, we have to multiply the chances by each prize. Then, add up all the possibilities.

(1/6) x $12 + (1/3) x $3 + (1/2) x $8 

2 + 1 - 4 = -1

On average, you will lose $1 per game.

Grant plans to evaporate enough water from 22 gallons of a 16% ammonia solution to make a 24% ammonia solution. Which equation c
Paha777 [63]
First lets write down our starting conditions:

we have 22 gallons and it has 16% of ammonia

16% of 22 gallons is
A = 16/100*22 = 3,52 gallons

Now since only watter is evaporating that means that in second scenario after some watter evaporated there is still 3,52 gallons of ammonia. But now those 3,52 gallons of ammonia represent 24% of total mixture. So now we go other way. 
24 % is 3,52 gallons
100% is x gallons

x = 100/24*3,52 = 14.667 gallons

That means that he has to evaporate 
22 - 14.6667 = 7,333 gallons of water.
