Suppose the large number of auto accidents in a small town results in new legislation that requires all citizens of the town to

install new anti-lock brakes on their cars. These new brakes cut the time it takes a car to stop by 50%, allowing drivers to avoid collisions with other cars and pedestrians more easily.
The new brakes _______________ the probability that a vehicle will collide with another vehicle but also give drivers an incentive to drive more _____________, which could potentially ______________ the number of car accidents.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The new brakes decrease the probability that a vehicle will collide with another vehicle. Because the anti-lock brakes cut the time it takes a car to stop by 50%, then total collision will be reduced.

But also give drivers an incentive to drive faster, which could potentially increase the number of car accidents.

Because drivers know that the new brakes cut the time it takes to stop and if they drive faster than before, maybe the new brakes won´t be able to reduce accidents and maybe collisions will increase.

There are 50 students in an auditorium, of which 2x are boys and y are girls. After (y - 6) boys leave the auditorium and (2x -
Dmitrij [34]
Total number of students=50
Number of boys=2x
Number of girls=y
total will be:
2x+y=50
⇒y=50-2x

when (y-6) boys left the auditorium the new number of boys was:
2x-(y-6)
=2x-y+6
but y=50-2x
thus the new number will be:
2x-(50-2x)+6
=4x-44

when (2x-5) girls left the auditorium the remaining number will be:
y-(2x-5)
=y-2x+5
but 
y=50-2x
thus the new number of girls will be:
50-2x-2x+5
=55-4x
new total number of students:
(55-4x)+(4x-44)
=11

probability of selecting a girl at random will be:
(55-4x)/11=9/13
13(55-4x)=9*11
715-52x=99
616=52x
x=12
thus
y=50-12=38
thus
x=12 and y=38

Scale Drawings
Law Incorporation [45]
 the correct question Part 1) is
<span>A school photo has dimensions of 2 1/4 inches by 2 3/4 inches. What are the dimensions of the school photo if it is enlarged by a scale factor of 7?

we know that
2 1/4 in-------> (2*4+1)/4----> 9/4 in
2 3/4 in-----> (2*4+3)/4-----> 11/4 in

if the scale factor=7
the dimensions of the school photo are
(9/4)*7-----> 63/4 in-----> 15 3/4 in
(11/4)*7----> 77/4 in-----> 19 1/4 in

the answer Part 1) is
</span>the dimensions of the school photo are
15 3/4 in x 19 1/4 in

Part 2) <span>Stephanie drew a picture of her house with her prize rosebush in the front. In her picture, she drew the rosebush 1.5 centimeters tall, and she drew the house 7.5 centimeters tall.

If her rosebush is really 0.75 meter tall and she made her drawing to scale, what scale did she use?

scale factor=measure in the drawing/measure in the actual
scale factor=1.5 cm/0.75 m-----> 2 cm/m
that means
2 cm in the drawing is equal to 1 meter in the actual

if the house in the drawing  is 7.5 cm tall
the house in the actual is 7.5/2----> 3.75 m

the answer Part 2) is 
the scale is 2 cm/meters

Part 3)</span><span>A photo of a painting has a scale of 3 inches = 2 feet. If the photo is 7.5 inches long, how many feet long is the painting?

we know that
</span>
scale factor=measure in the photo/measure in the painting
measure in the painting=measure in the photo/scale factor
scale factor=3/2---> 1.5 in/ft
measure in the photo=7.5 in

measure in the painting=7.5/1.5----> 5 ft

the answer part 3) is
the painting is 5 ft long

Isabella filled her pool with water at a constant rate.
AlladinOne [14]

(184-94)/5=18

This means that she fills up 18 liters every minute. Thus she will be done in->

184(original amount)+(2 minutes (time passed during first data point)*18(rate of water)=184+36=220

To find the total time taken we divide 220 by 18 which is 220/18=12 2/9
