We let k be the proportionality constant for the relationship between number of hours, h and speed of the walker, s. 

                        h = k/s
Substituting the known values,
                        12 = k/5
                          k = 60

For the second scenario,
                          h = k/s
Substituting the calculated value for k and the given value for speed,
                          h = (60)(3 miles/hour)
                         h = 20 hours
                         h = 20 hours

Therefore, it will take 20 hours to walk with a speed of 3 miles per hour.

Bald-faced hornets have a hive that is approximately cone-shaped, as shown in the image. One such hive has a radius of 15 inches
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Volume of the hive is 4712.4 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since hive has the shape of a cone with radius = 15 inches and height = 20 inches

Therefore, volume of the given cone = \frac{1}{3}(\text{Area of the base})\times \text{height}

Area of the circular base = πr²

Area = π(15)²

        = 225π

Volume of the cone = \frac{1}{3}(225\pi )\times{20}

                                 = 1500π

                                 = 4712.39

                                 ≈ 4712.4 square inches

Therefore, volume of the hive is 4712.4 square inches.

Jeanne wants to start collecting coins and orders a coin collection starter kit. The kit comes with three coins chosen at random
lesya692 [45]
Conditional probability is a measure of the probability of an event given that another event has occurred. If the event of interest is A and the event B is known or assumed to have occurred, "the conditional probability of A given B", or "the probability of A under the condition B", is usually written as P(A|B), or sometimes P_B(A).

The conditional probability of event A happening, given that event B has happened, written as P(A|B) is given by
P(A|B)= \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}

In the question, we were told that there are three randomly selected coins which can be a nickel, a dime or a quarter.

The probability of selecting one coin is \frac{1}{3}

Part A:
To find <span>the probability that all three coins are quarters if the first two envelopes Jeanne opens each contain a quarter, let the event that all three coins are quarters be A and the event that the first two envelopes Jeanne opens each contain a quarter be B.

P(A) means that the first envelope contains a quarter AND the second envelope contains a quarter AND the third envelope contains a quarter.

Thus P(A)= \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{27}

</span><span>P(B) means that the first envelope contains a quarter AND the second envelope contains a quarter

</span><span>Thus P(B)= \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{9}

Therefore, P(A|B)=\left( \frac{ \frac{1}{27} }{ \frac{1}{9} } \right)= \frac{1}{3}


Part B:
</span>To find the probability that all three coins are different if the first envelope Jeanne opens contains a dime<span>, let the event that all three coins are different be C and the event that the first envelope Jeanne opens contains a dime be D.
</span><span>
P(C)= \frac{3}{3} \times \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{6}{27} = \frac{2}{9}

</span><span>P(D)= \frac{1}{3}</span><span>

Therefore, P(C|D)=\left( \frac{ \frac{2}{9} }{ \frac{1}{3} } \right)= \frac{2}{3}</span>

There were 125 females and 100 males present at the high school pep rally. Find the ratio of males to the total number of people
riadik2000 [5.3K]
Total number of people = 125 + 100 = 225

Number of males = 100

Set as ratio

100:225

Simplify to 4:9 (can not simplify further without having decimals but you can’t have half a person)
