Let the time taken by Vince to complete the race was x hours. 
Maury completed the race 1.5 hours faster. This means Maury complete the race in (x - 1.5) hours.

Average Speed of Maury = 16 miles per hour
Average Speed of Vince = 12 miles per hour

Distance = Speed x Time.

For Maury:
Distance = 16(x - 1.5)

For Vince:
Distance = 12x

Since the distance covered by both was the same, we can equate the two equations as:

16(x - 1.5) = 12x
16x - 24 = 12x
4x = 24
x = 6 
This means Vince complete the race in 6 hours.

Distance = Speed x Time = 12 x 6 = 72 miles

Thus, the total distance of the race was 72 miles.

Find a26 in the arithmetic sequence: -15, -35, -55, -75
MrRissso [65]

Answer: x=−5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−4−7x=31

−4+−7x=31

−7x−4=31

Step 2: Add 4 to both sides.

−7x−4+4=31+4

−7x=35

Step 3: Divide both sides by -7.

−7x

−7

=

35

−7

x=−5

The scores of eighth-grade students in a math test are normally distributed with a mean of 57.5 and a standard deviation of 6.5.
Anna11 [10]
Approximately 68% of a normal distribution lies within one standard deviation of the mean, so this corresponds to students with scores between (57.5 - 6.5, 57.5 + 6.5) = (51, 64)

Drag the cards to create a two-digit number that matches these rules. Note: Not all cards will be used 6 is one of the digits 20
Greeley [361]

Answer:

As i understand this:

We have cards with the values:

0, 1, 2 and 6.

We want to create a two digit number such that:

Not all the cards are used.

6 is one digit of our number.

When we round to the nearest ten, we get 20.

Now, first remember how rounding works.

If we have a number like ab, where a and b are single digits (a is in the tens place and b is in the units place), then:

if b is 5 or more, we round up

if b is less than 5, we round down.

Now in this case we want to have a digit equal 6, if we use this in the units place, then when rounding, we will round up.

Then the other digit can be 1, such that we use the cards:

1 and 6.

then our number is 16:

When rounding, 6 > 5, then we round up to 20.

So this number meets all the conditions.
