Answer:
It will take Lin an hour and 25 minutes at her constant speed, and it will take Jada at her constant speed an hour and 30 minutes.
SO, Lin will arrive at 4:25
and Jada will arrive at 4:30
There is a 5 minute difference in time.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the facts given, Lin can walk 13 miles in 5 hours which when you divide means she can walk 2.6 mph (miles per hour), and Jada can walk 2.5 mph.
To get these answers you divide the current speeds into the total distance
For example, in Lin's case...
3.25 (The 3 and 1/4 mile converted to decimal form)
2.6 (Lin's Average speed per hour)
3.25/2.6=1.25
1.25 (1 hour and 25 minutes)
Answer:
The sum of half of a number and three-fourths is at least five and one quarter
Step-by-step explanation:
It's all about making sense of an English sentence.
"half the sum ..." is different from "the sum of half ..."
And ...
"at least" and "not less than" mean the same (≥)
"not more than" and "at most" mean the same (≤)
_____
Since all of the expressions are written out in words, it is a matter of matching the ideas expressed. That's a problem in reading comprehension, not math.
__
"One-half x + three-fourths [is] greater-than-or-equal-to 5 and one-fourth"
means the same as ...
"The sum of half of a number and three-fourths is at least five and one quarter"
Answer: c)[50,60]
Step-by-step explanation:
The Empirical rule says that , About 68% of the population lies with the one standard deviation from the mean (For normally distribution).
We are given that , The heights of students in a class are normally distributed with mean 55 inches and standard deviation 5 inches.
Then by Empirical rule, about 68% of the heights of students lies between one standard deviation from mean.
i.e. about 68% of the heights of students lies between 
i.e. about 68% of the heights of students lies between 
Here, 
i.e. The required interval that contains the middle 68% of the heights. = [50,60]
Hence, the correct answer is c) (50,60)
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up an equation using the formula for the area of a triangle.
Hint #22 / 3
\begin{aligned} \text{Area of a triangle} &= \dfrac12 \cdot \text{base} \cdot \text{height}\\\\ 12&= \dfrac12 \cdot 6 \cdot x \\\\ 12&= 3x \\\\ \dfrac{12}{\blueD{3}}&= \dfrac{3x}{\blueD{3}} ~~~~~~~\text{divide both sides by } {\blueD{ 3}}\\\\ \dfrac{12}{\blueD{3}}&= \dfrac{\cancel{3}x}{\blueD{\cancel{3}}}\\\\ x &=\dfrac{12}{\blueD{3}}\\\\ x &=4\end{aligned}

2(5x + 2)^2 = 48
divide both sides by 2
(5x + 2)^2 = 24
square root both sides to clear the power of two.
5x + 2 = + - sqrt24
subtract 2 from both sides
5x = -2 + - sqrt 24
divide both sides by 5
x = (-2 +-sqrt24)/5 or decimal answers .58 and -1.38
