Answer:

speed = 796142.197 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

solution

we consider here orbit around galactic center is circular so

circumference formula will be here

circumference C = 2πr   ........1

here we know r = 27000

so

circumference C = 2 π × 27000

C = 169560 light year

so

we travel 169560 light year in 230000000 years

so distance will be

distance = \frac{169560}{230000000}

distance = 0.00073721 light year/year

and we know 1 year = 8760 hours

so 1 light year = 9.46027 ×10^{12} km

so

sped of moving is

speed = 0.00073721 × 9.46027 × \frac{10^{12}}{8760}  km/hr

speed = 796142.197 km/hr

1. Three friends pooled their money to purchase a new game system that costs $298. One person
iragen [17]

Answer:

First person: $107

Second person: $98

Third person: $93

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "f" the amount of money (in dollars) that the first person contributed to the purchase, "s" the amount of money (in dollars) that the second person contributed to the purchase and "t" the amount of money (in dollars) that the third person contributed to the purchase.

With the information given in the exercise, you can set up the following equations:

Equation 1 → f+s+t=298

Equation 2 → s=f-9

Equation 3 → t=f-14

Substitute the Equations 2 and 3 into the Equation 1 and then solve for "f":

f+(f-9)+(f-14)=298\\\\3f-23=298\\\\f=\frac{321}{3}\\\\f=107

Finally, substitute the value of "f" into the Equation 2 and then into the Equation 3, in order to find the values of "s" and "t".

Therefore, you get:

s=107-9\\\\s=98\\\\\\t=107-14\\\\t=93

In 2010, Rafik bought a house. In 2015, Rafik sold the house to Bianca. He made a 20% profit on the sale. In 2019, Bianca sold t
sweet [91]

Answer:

£170000

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2010, Rafik bought a house. Let us assume Rafik bought the house for $x.  In 2015, Rafik sold the house to Bianca and made 20% profit. 20% profit = 20% of x = 0.2 × x = 0.2x. Therefore Rafik sold the house to Bianca at x + 0.2x = 1.2x. Bianca bought the house at 1.2x

The house was sold by Bianca at 5% loss in 2019. 5% loss = 0.05(1.2x) = 0.06x

Therefore the house was sold by Bianca at 1.2x - 0.06x = 1.14x. Since Bianca sold the house at £193800.

⇒ 1.14x = 193800

x = 193800/1.14

x = £170000

Rafik paid £170000 for the house in 2010

Question 9 (3 points)
Mila [183]

From the dot plot, we have that 90.91% of the students have 5 or more vowels in their first and last  names.

---------------------

The dot plot states that:

  • 2 students have 4 vowels in their first and last name.
  • 3 students have 5 vowels.
  • 8 students have 6 vowels.
  • 9 students have 7 vowels.

Then:

  • Total of 2 + 3 + 8 + 9 = 22 students.
  • 3 + 8 + 9 = 20 have or more vowels.

p = \frac{20}{22} \times 100\% = 90.91\%

90.91% of the students have 5 or more vowels in their first and last  names.

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

0.2611

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following information :

Normal distribution:

Mean (m) length of time per call = 3.5 minutes

Standard deviation (sd) = 0.7 minutes

Probability that length of calls last between 3.5 and 4.0 minutes :

P(3.5 < x < 4):

Find z- score of 3.5:

z = (x - m) / sd

x = 3.5

z = (3.5 - 3.5) / 0.7 = 0

x = 4

z = (4.0 - 3.5) / 0.7 = 0.5 / 0.7 = 0.71

P(3.5 < x < 4) = P( 0 < z < 0.714)

From the z - distribution table :

0 = 0.500

0.71 = very close to 0.7611

(0.7611 - 0.5000) = 0.2611

P(3.5 < x < 4) = P( 0 < z < 0.714) = 0.2611
