Answer:

731 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can set up a proportion.

Let's name the number of miles he travels in 17 hours x for now.

8/344=17/x

Simplify 8/344

2/86=17/x

Cross multiply

86*17=2*x

2x=1462

Divide both sides by 2.

x=731

He would travel 731 miles in 17 hours.

Answer:

731 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportions:

344 miles ⇒ 8 hours

W miles ⇒ 17 hours

W = 344*17/8

W = 731

<span>If dog food costs $2 a pound and Cara buys 9 pounds, her expenditure on dog food is 9 x 2. This makes $18. If she has a total budget of $25 and spends $18 on dog food, she has $7 left over for treats (25 - 18 = 7). At $1 each, she can buy up to 7 treats.</span>

In a normally distributed data set a mean of 55 where 99.7% of the data fall between 47.5 and 62.5, what would be the standard d

NeX [460]

Given that normally distributed data set has a mean of 55 and 99.7% of data fall between 47.5 and 62.5.

Let s be the standard deviation of data set.

Since 99.7% data fall within 3 standard deviations of mean, z-value for 47.5 and 62.5 has an absolute value of 3.

That is |z|=3

But z= $\frac{x-mean}{standard deviation}$

Let us plugin x=47.5 and mean =55 and equate it to 3.

That is $|\frac{47.5-55}{s}| = 3$

$|\frac{-7.5}{s} | =3$

Since x is always positive ( being standard deviation), $|\frac{-7.5}{s} | = \frac{|-7.5|}{s} = \frac{7.5}{s}$

Hence $\frac{7.5}{s}= 3$

$s=\frac{7.5}{3} = 2.5$

We will get same value with 62.5 as well.

Hence standard deviation of data set is 2.5.

Find the measures of the three angles, in radians, of the triangle with the given vertices: d(1,1,1), e(1,−5,2), and f(−2,2,7).

Oduvanchick [21]

Consider triangle DEF with vertices D(1,1,1), E(1,-5,2) and F(-2,2,7).

1. Find

$\overrightarrow{DE}=(1-1,-5-1,2-1)=(0,-6,1),\\ \\\overrightarrow{DF}=(-2-1,2-1,7-1)=(-3,1,6).$

Then

$\cos \angle D=\dfrac{0\cdot (-3)+(-6)\cdot 1+1\cdot 6}{\sqrt{0^2+(-6)^2+1^2}\cdot \sqrt{(-3)^2+1^2+6^2}}=\dfrac{0}{\sqrt{37} \cdot \sqrt{46} }=0.$

2. Find

$\overrightarrow{ED}=(1-1,1-(-5),1-2)=(0,6,-1),\\ \\\overrightarrow{EF}=(-2-1,2-(-5),7-2)=(-3,7,5).$

Then

$\cos \angle E=\dfrac{0\cdot (-2)+6\cdot 7+(-1)\cdot 5}{\sqrt{0^2+6^2+(-1)^2}\cdot \sqrt{(-3)^2+7^2+5^2}}=\dfrac{37}{\sqrt{37} \cdot \sqrt{83} }=\sqrt{\dfrac{37}{83}}.$

3. Find

$\overrightarrow{FE}=(1-(-2),-5-2,2-7)=(3,-7,-5),\\ \\\overrightarrow{FD}=(1-(-2),1-2,1-7)=(3,-1,-6).$

Then

$\cos \angle F=\dfrac{3\cdot 3+(-7)\cdot (-1)+(-5)\cdot (-6)}{\sqrt{3^2+(-7)^2+(-5)^2}\cdot \sqrt{3^2+(-1)^2+(-6)^2}}=\dfrac{46}{\sqrt{83} \cdot \sqrt{46} }=\sqrt{\dfrac{46}{83}}.$

$\angle E=\arccos0=\dfrac{\pi}{2},\\ \\
\angle D=\arccos\letf(\sqrt{\dfrac{37}{83}}\right)\approx 0.27\pi,\\ \\
\angle F=\arccos\letf(\sqrt{\dfrac{46}{83}}\right)\approx 0.23\pi.$

Jim’s family is choosing whether to go to a restaurant for lunch or for dinner. The cost of a salad is $7 at lunch and $9 at din

Vesna [10]

Answer:

To answer the problem above we let x be the number of people who prefers salad and y be the number of people who chose steak. For lunch they will be spending $41. That is,

7x + 10y = 41

Now, for dinner they will be spending $51. That is,

9x + 12y = 51

The values of x and y from both equations are 3 and 2, respectively. Therefore, 3 people will choose a salad
