From home, Mary’s work is two thirds along the way to training. Training is 2.5km from work. Mary normally goes to work, then tr

aining and then home again. However, today she forgot her shoes. How far will Mary travel in total today if she has to go home before training to get her shoes?

First thing to do is to illustrate the problem, Since it was mentioned that work was along the way to training, the order is shown in the picture. Mary's home and workplace are nearer compared to her training center. It is also mentioned that the distance between work and home, denoted as x, is 2/3 of the total distance from home to training. The total distance is (x + 2.5). Thus,

x = 2/3(x+2.5)
x = 2/3 x + 5/3
1/3 x = 5/3
x = 5 km

Thus, the distance from home to work is 5 km. This means that Mary has to walk this distance twice to return home to get her shoes. Then, she will travel again the total distance of 5+2.5 = 7.5 km to get to her training center. So,

Total distance = 2(5km) + 7.5 km
Total distance = 17.5 km

Gary used landscape timbers to create a border around a garden shaped like a right triangle. The longest two timbers he used are
Cloud [144]

Answer:

9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The border of the garden is a right angled triangle.

Two lengths are given as 12 ft and 15 ft.

Let the length of the shortest timber be 'x' feet.

Now, in a right angled triangle, the longest length is called the hypotenuse.

As 15 feet is the largest length, it is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Now, applying Pythagoras theorem, we get:

(Leg1)^2+(Leg2)^2=(Hypotenuse)^2\\x^2+12^2=15^2\\x^2+144=225\\x^2=225-144\\x^2=81\\x=\pm \sqrt{81}=\pm 9

The negative value is neglected as length can never be negative.

Therefore, the length of the shortest timber is 9 feet.

Anumeha is mowing lawns for a summer job. For every mowing job, she charges an initial fee of $ 10 $10dollar sign, 10 plus a con
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

F(t) = 10 + 5(t)

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is as follows;

Anumeha is mowing lawns for a summer job. for every mowing job, she charges an initial fee of \$10$10dollar sign, 10 plus a constant fee for each hour of work. her fee for a 555-hour job, for instance, is \$35$35dollar sign, 35. let f(t)f(t)f, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis denote anumeha's fee for a single job fff (measured in dollars) as a function of the number of hours ttt it took her to complete it. write the function's formula.

Solution

We are interested in writing the function F(t) formula for the fee charged by Anumeha per job.

Now, the key to writing this function is knowing exactly the constant fee she charges on the job.

We were told that she got $35 for a 5 hour job.

Thus, the constant amount charged is as follows;

Since it’s $10 as initial fee and the constant fee is per hour;

35 = 10 + 5(x)

where x is the constant fee per hour

35 = 10 + 5x

5x = 35-10

5x = 25

x = 25/5

x = $5

This mess that she charges a constant fee of $5 per hour

So we can write the equation now.

F(t) = 10 + 5(t)

where t represents the number of hours she spent on the job

If the largest integer drawn among the four cards is 6, then that means that 3 of the cards drawn are from the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}. The number of ways of selecting 3 cards from 5 cards is given by:

^5C_3=10

If the largest integer drawn among the four cards is 7, then that means that 3 of the cards drawn are from the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. The number of ways of selecting 3 cards from 6 cards is given by:

The R.R. Bowker Company of New York collects data on annual subscription rates to periodicals. Results are published in Library
Igoryamba

Answer:

90%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the percentage of students that read Time magazine by P(T), and the percentage of students that read U.S News and World Report by P(U). So, we have that:

P(T) = 0.63

P(U) = 0.51

P(T and U) = 0.24

To find the percentage of students that read either the Time magazine or the U.S.News and World Report magazine (that is, P(T or U)), we can use this formula:

P(T or U) = P(T) + P(U) - P(T and U)

So, we have that:

P(T or U) = 0.63 + 0.51 - 0.24 = 0.90

So the probability is 90%
