Answer:

He should drive his car at a speed of 81.25 kilometers per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

With a velocity of 65 kilometers per hour, he reaches home in 50 minutes. What speed he needs to reach home 10 minutes earlier, that is, in 50 - 10 = 40 minutes?

To solve this, we use the relation between inverse proportion variables(as the velocity increases, time needed decreases), that is, a rule of three with line multiplication, instead of cross. So

65 kilometers per hour - 50 minutes

x kilometers per hour - 40 minutes

$40x = 65*50$

$x = \frac{65*50}{40}$

$x = 81.25$

He should drive his car at a speed of 81.25 kilometers per hour.

What is the probability of drawing two yellow marbles if the first one is NOT placed back into the bag before the second draw? T

Xelga [282]

Break it down into two parts. First, what is the probability of drawing a blue marble on the first draw?Since there are 5 blue marbles and 10 total, the probability is 5⁄10, or 1/2. Now since we no longer have that blue marble, there are 4 blue marbles and 9 total. The chances of drawing a blue marble are 4/9. Therefore, the chance that both marbles drawn are blue is the chance that the first one is blue times the chance that the second one is blue. 1/2 * 4/9 = 4/18 = 2/9 Remember, math is always trying to trick you. It wants you to try and do the whole big problem at once, which can be difficult. Break it down into smaller problems, then use your answers to small parts to find the answer to the big question.

What is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle below?

liberstina [14]

Answer:

$\boxed{B. Hypotenuse = 10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying <em>Pythagoras theorem</em> we can find hypotenuse of a right angle triangle.

Side of right angle triangle (a) = 5√2 cm

Side of right angle triangle (b) = 5√2 cm

Hypotenuse² = a² × b²

${Hypotenuse}^{2} = {(5 \sqrt{2} )}^{2} \times {(5 \sqrt{2} )}^{2} \\ \\ {Hypotenuse}^{2} = (25 \times 2) + (25 \times 2)\\ \\ {Hypotenuse}^{2} = 50 + 50\\ \\ {Hypotenuse}^{2} = 100\\ \\ {Hypotenuse}^{ \cancel{2}} = {10}^{ \cancel{2}} \\ \\ Hypotenuse = 10$

Sharon and Jacob started at the same place. Jacob walked 3 m north and then 4 m west. Sharon walked 5 m south and 12 m east. How

Ilya [14]

Consider the coordinate plane:

1. The origin is the point where Sharon and Jacob started - (0,0).

2. North - positive y-direction, south - negetive y-direction.

3. East - positive x-direction, west - negative x-direction.

Then,

if Jacob walked 3 m north and then 4 m west, the point where he is now has coordinates (-4,3);
if Sharon walked 5 m south and 12 m east, the point where she is now has coordinates (12,-5).

The distance between two points with coordinates $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ can be calculated using formula
