we know that

speed=distance/time

It takes 40 min for a bus to cover 36 miles

then

speed of the bus=distance/time--------> 36/40-------> 0.9 miles/min

speed of the car=1.4*speed of the bus-----> 1.4*0.9----> 1.26 miles/min

For time=t

bus

t=distance/speed--------> t=x/0.9------> equation 1

car

t=distance/speed--------> t=(36-x)/1.26-----> equation 2

equate equation 1 and equation 2

x/0.9=(36-x)/1.26-----> 1.26x=0.9*(36-x)-----> 1.26x=32.4-0.9x

1.26x+0.9x=32.4------> x=32.4/2.16-------> x=15 miles

equation 1

t=x/0.9------> 15/0.9------> t=16.67 min

the answer is

they will meet at the time 16.67 minutes

astraxan [27]

Answer:

a) P(identified as containing explosives)=P(actually contains explosives and identified as containing explosives)+P(actually not contains explosives and identified as containing explosives)

=(10/(4*106))*0.95+(1-10/(4*106))*0.005 =0.005002363

hence  probability that it actually contains explosives given identified as containing explosives)

=(10/(4*106))*0.95/0.005002363=0.000475

b)

let probability of correctly identifying a bag without explosives be a

hence a =0.99999763 ~ 99.999763%

c)

No as even if that becomes 1 ; proportion of true explosives will always be less than half of total explosives detected,

The Golden Braid Bookstore currently has $340,000 in cash, $280,000 in inventory, and $40,000 in accounts receivable. The compan
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

The quick ratio is 4.75:1.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information it is clear that:

Cash = $340,000

Inventory = $280,000

Accounts receivable =  $40,000

Accounts payable = $65000

Other current liabilities = $15000

Formula for quick ratio:

\text{Quick ratio}=\frac{\text{Cash + Current receivables + short-term investment}}{\text{Current Liabilities}}

Substitute Cash = 340000, Current receivables=40000, Current Liabilities= (65000+15000).

\text{Quick ratio}=\frac{340000+40000}{65000+15000}

\text{Quick ratio}=4.75

Therefore the quick ratio is 4.75:1.
