Time = distance/speed
The distance between the walkers increases at the rate of (8 mph) -(2 mph) = 6 mph. That distance will be 4.5 mi after ...
(4.5 mi)/(6 mi/h) = 4.5/6 h = 3/4 h
In 3/4 hour they will be 4.5 miles apart.
The number of hours Jeremiah ironed = 10 hours
The number of hours Tristan ironed = 7 hours
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
- Jeremiah can iron = 35 shirts per hour
- Tristan can iron = 20 shirts per hour
- Total work done by both = 490 shirts
Let 'x' be the number of hours Jeremiah ironed.
Let 'y' be the number of hours Tristan ironed.
x+y = 17 ------(1)
35x + 20y = 490 -------(2)
Multiply (1) by 20 and subtract (2) from (1),
20x + 20y = 340
-(<u>35x + 20y = 490</u>)
<u>-15x = -150 </u>
x = 150/15
x = 10
Substitute x=10 in (1)
10+y = 17
y = 7
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Gavin made 6 out of 15 shots, so the probability that Gavin's next shot will be successful is
Jack made 7 out of 15 shots, so the probability that Jack's next shot will be successful is
