Answer:

You might want to divide 512/2.

=256.

The problems says that one person must have 20$ more than the other, right? So..

Each "256" represents a person. One will have 20 added and the other 20 subtracted.

256-20

=236

256+20

=276

Check work!

236+276

=512

Answer:

5 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the question: Jinghua hiked 4 1/2 miles through the woods in 2 1/4 hours. She hiked the return trip at the same average rate but by a different route taking 2 1/2 hours. How many miles did Jinghua hike on the return trip ?

First of all, we will find Jinghua's speed using given information as:

$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

Convert mixed fractions into improper fractions:

$4\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow \frac{9}{2}$

$2\frac{1}{4}\Rightarrow \frac{9}{4}$

$\text{Jinghua's speed}=\frac{\frac{9}{2}\text{ Miles}}{\frac{9}{4}\text{ Hours}}$

Using property $\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}}=\frac{ad}{bc}$ :

$\text{Jinghua's speed}=\frac{9*4\text{ Miles}}{9*2\text{ Hours}}$

$\text{Jinghua's speed}=\frac{2\text{ Miles}}{\text{ Hour}}$

We know that distance is equal to the product of speed and time.

$\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}\times\text{Time}$

Since we have been given that Jingua hiked the return trip at the same average rate, so distance covered by her on return trip would be speed (2 miles her hour) times given time (2 1/2 hours).

$\text{Distance covered by Jingua on return trip}=\frac{2\text{ Miles}}{\text{ Hour}}\times 2\frac{1}{2}\text{ Hours}$

$\text{Distance covered by Jingua on return trip}=2\text{ Miles}\times \frac{5}{2}$

$\text{Distance covered by Jingua on return trip}=5\text{ Miles}$

Therefore, Jingua hiked 5 miles on her return trip.

A school principal has to choose randomly among the six best students in each grade to be the school captain every month. For th

Viefleur [7K]

Since there are 6 students out of which one needs to be selected, the principal chose two die on which there are six numbers each numbered from 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Since there are two dice, the total possible outcome is 36.

Hence, the probability of getting one number each is 1/36

Hence, the principal used a fair method because each result is an equally likely possible outcome.

Option B is correct.

Lena [83]

Answer:

OPtion I is right

Step-by-step explanation:

Once we know sin of an angle, and it lies in II quadrant, we know that

cos, sec, tan and cot would be negative but csc will be positive.

So use the fact that

$sin^{2}t+cos^{2} t=1\\cost =-\sqrt{1-sin^2 t}$

Thus cos is obtained using negative square root.

Now tan = sin/cos, and sec = 1/cos:

cot =1/tan and csc =1/sin

Thus all value can be obtained easily

So option I
