Let d = the length of the trail, miles
Note that
distance = speed * time
or
time = distance / speed.
The time, t₁, to travel the trail at 3 miles per hour is
t₁ = d/3 hours
The time, t₂, to travel back at 5 miles per hour is
t₂ = d/5 hours
Because the total time is 3 hours, therefore
t₁ + t₂ = 3
d/3 + d/5 = 3
d(1/3 + 1/5) = 3
d(8/15) = 3
Multiply each side by 15.
8d = 3*15 =45
d = 45/8 = 5 5/8 miles or 5.625 miles
Total distance = 2*d = 11.25 miles or 11 1/4 miles.
t₁ = 5.625/3 = 1.875 hours or 1 hour, 52.5 minutes
t₂ = 5.625/5 = 1.125 hours or 1 hour , 7.5 minutes

Time to travel at 3 miles per hour = 1.875 hours (1 hour, 52.5 minutes)
Time to return at 5 miles per hour = 1.125 hours (1 hour, 7.5 minutes)
Total distance traveled = 2*d = 11.25 miles.
3.56 +/- 0.011 = ( 3.549, 3.571). This is the answer.
If all the flags use material at the same rate, Nancy will need 3 times the fabric to make 3 times the number of flags. Nancy needs 3×(14 yd) = 42 yd for the whole team.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".
Let X the random variable that represent interest on this case, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
And let
represent the sample mean, the distribution for the sample mean is given by:
On this case
Solution to the problem
We want this probability:
The best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:
If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:
The conversion factor should be multiplied in Step 2 instead of being divided.
