Answer: The oldest one is Vredfort Crater.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data is:

Chicxulub was formed 6.5x10^7 years ago.

Vredfort was formed 2x10^9 years ago.

Sudbury basin was formed 1.8x10^9 years ago.

Acraman crater was formed 5.8x10^8 years ago.

We want to find the oldest, so we need to find the larger number of the 4 we have.

For this, we need to see at the exponents, the larger the exponent the larger the number.

We have two with a 9 in the exponent:

Vredfort and Sudbury.

Now we look at the number, Vredfort has 2x10^9 and Sudbury has 1.8x10^9.

Both have the same exponent, but the scalar of Vredfort is larger (2 is greater than 1.8) so we have that Vredfort is older.

A population consists of 500 elements. We want to draw a simple random sample of 50 elements from this population. On the first
larisa [96]

Answer:

D. 0.002

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

total number of sample, N = 500 elements

50 elements are to be drawn from this sample.

The probability of the first selection, out of the 50 elements to be drawn will be = 1 / total number of sample

The probability of the first selection = 1 / 500

The probability of the first selection = 0.002

Therefore, on the first selection, the probability of an element being selected is 0.002

The correct option is "D. 0.002"

Amar cycles at a speed of 18km/h.
damaskus [11]

Answer:

<em>The distance between the two villages is 16.5 Km</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Constant Speed Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the distance of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

If v is the constant speed, the object travels a distance x in a time t, given by the equation:

x=vt

Amar cycles at v=18 Km/h for t=55 minutes. We need to calculate the distance traveled between the two villages.

Since the speed and the time are given in different units, we convert the time to hours, recalling that 1 hour=60 minute.

t=55 min = 55/60 hours

For the sake of precision, we won't operate the division so far. Compute the distance:

x=18 *55/60=16.5 Km

The distance between the two villages is 16.5 Km

The width of a rectangle is the length minus 2 units. The area of the rectangle is 35 units. What is the width, in units, of the
Andrews [41]

Answer: width = 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangle.

The width of a rectangle is the length minus 2 units. It means that the width of the rectangle is (L - 2) units.

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

The area of the rectangle is 35 units. It means that

L(L - 2) = 35

L² - 2L = 35

L² - 2L - 35 = 0

L² + 5L - 7L - 35 = 0

L(L + 5) - 7(L + 5) = 0

L - 7 = 0 or L + 5 = 0

L = 7 or L = - 5

Since the length cannot be negative, then

L = 7 units

Width = 7 - 2 = 5 units
