Answer:

At 8:52:30 am they will be side-by-side again

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s be the distance ran in one 1 lap.

Here Jeff runs one extra lap compared to Mandy for coming side by side again.

Mandy runs one lap in 2 minutes and 30 seconds = 150 s

Speed of Mandy, =\frac{s}{150}

Jeff runs one lap in 2 minutes and 15 seconds = 135 s

Speed of Jeff, =\frac{s}{135}

Let t be the time when Jeff run one extra lap,

That is

              t\times \frac{s}{135}-t\times \frac{s}{150}=s\\\\t\left ( \frac{1}{135}-\frac{1}{150}\right )=1\\\\t\times \frac{15}{135\times 150}=1\\\\t=1350s

So after 1350 seconds Jeff comes side by side to Mandy,

They both start at 8:30 am

             1350 s = 22.5 minutes = 22 minutes 30 seconds

          Time = 8:52:30 am

An 8 ft length of 4 inch wide crown molding costs $14. how much will it cost to buy 40 ft of crown molding?
Firdavs [7]

Answer: $70

 

EXPLANATION

 

Given, for a 4 inch wide crown molding:

8 ft length costs $14

Cost of 40 ft length = ?

 

8 ft length costs $14

To find the cost of 1 ft length,

Divide through by 8

8ft/8 length costs $14/8

1ft costs $1.75

 

Now, to find the cost of 40 ft length

1ft costs $1.75

1 ft x 40 would cost $1.75

40 ft would cost $70

 

Therefore, it would cost $70 to buy 40 ft of crown molding

Belkis is pulling a toy by exerting a force of 1.5 newtons on a string attached to the toy.
LekaFEV [45]
From what I imagine in the problem description, the toy is located on the ground. Then, Belkis is pulling on the string to keep the toy moving just like how you put a leash on a dog. My illustration is shown in the picture. The F arrow is where Belkis pulls it. Its component vectors are Fx and Fy, as shown. 

From the figure, we can see that it forms a right triangle. So, it makes it easy because the pythagorean theorems are applicable and we can easily use trigonometric functions. First, let's determine Fy which is located opposite to the angle. Since we know the hypotenuse F to be 1.5 N, so we use the sine function:

sin 52° = Fy/F = Fy/1.5
Fy = 1.182 N

For the horizontal component, Fx is parallel to the adjacent side with respect to the angle. Thus, we use the cosine function.

cos 52° = Fx/F = Fx/1.5
Fx = 0.923 N

Which rule describes the composition of transformations that maps ΔABC to ΔA"B"C"?
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

  • Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>As per the graph the order of transformations is:</u>

1. 90 degree anticlockwise  rotation about origin

  • This maps ABC to A'B'C'

2. Reflection across x-axis

  • This map A'B'C' to A''B''C''

Correct option is B (transformations read and applied from right to left)

Kirima is building a wall for her snow fort. She first makes a firm base out of snow, and then piles uniformly sized blocks of s
MrMuchimi

Answer:

The correct option is;

0.4 represents the height of each block

Step-by-step explanation:

The information given are;

Kirima first builds a firm base of a given height

Kirima is building her wall using uniformly sized bricks

the height of the wall she is building depends on the number of blocks stacked to form the wall

Therefore, variable that depends on other variable, which is the dependent variable, y, is the height of the wall

The independent, which determines the value of the dependent variable is the number of blocks added, x

The gradient of the equation is the height of each block = 0.4

The y-intercept is the starting value, which is the firm base of dimension, 0.6

Therefore, 0.4 represents the height of each block.

A shipment of 7 television sets contains 2 defective sets. A hotel makes a random purchase of 3 of the sets. If x is the number
serg [7]

Answer:

The probability distribution is

X    :        0              1                 2

f(X) :       2/7          4/7               1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x is the number of defective sets purchased by the hotel.

Total number of television sets = 7

Total number of defective television sets = 2

Since there are 2 defective television sets and hotel purchase 3 sets, So, X=0,1,2.

If X=0,

P(X=0)=\frac{^5C_3}{^7C_3}=\frac{10}{35}=\frac{2}{7}

If X=1,

P(X=1)=\frac{^5C_2\cdot ^2C_1}{^7C_3}=\frac{10\cdot 2}{35}=\frac{4}{7}

If X=2,

P(X=2)=\frac{^5C_1\cdot ^2C_2}{^7C_3}=\frac{5\cdot 1}{35}=\frac{1}{7}

The probability distribution is

X    :        0              1                 2

f(X) :       2/7          4/7               1/7

The probability histogram is shown below.
