Two trains leave towns 1250 km apart at the same time and travel toward each other. one train travels 10 km/hr slower than the other. if they meet in 5 hours, what is the rate of each train?

Answers

Here are the rates of the trains:
(n represents train A's speed)
A: n
B: n + 10
We know it is 5 hours, and total distance, so:
5(n) + 5(n + 10) = 1250
5n + 5n + 50 = 1250
10n = 1200
Divide:
n = 120
One train goes 120, the other goes 130

How many questions can i miss on a 28 question test to get a 70%?

Answers

In this scenario, I'm assuming each question has the value of one point.  Begin by taking 70% of 28 to represent the exact score you need:

0.7(28) = 19.6

You need to get 19.6 points for a 70%.  To calculate the points missed, subtract this from the total points on the test:

28 - 19.6 = 8.4

You can only miss 8.4 points on the test, or no more than 8 questions, to get a grade of 70%.

A 20-ounce candle is expected to burn for 60 hours. A 12-ounce candle is expected to burn for 36 hours. Assuming the variables are directly related, how many hours would a 9-ounce candle be expected to burn?

18
27
33
45

Answers

divide size of candle by number of hours
 to find the rate it burns:

20 ounce / 60  hours = 1/3 ounce per hour 

divide 9 ounces by 1/3 ounce per hour to find total time:

9 / 1/3 = 27 hours

Answer:

B. 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a 20-ounce candle is expected to burn for 60 hours. A 12-ounce candle is expected to burn for 36 hours.

We know that a direct proportional equation is in form [tex]y=kx[/tex], where k represents constant of proportionality.

Let is find value of k by substituting [tex]x=20[/tex] and [tex]y=60[/tex] in above equation as:

[tex]60=k*20[/tex]

[tex]\frac{60}{20}=\frac{k*20}{20}[/tex]

[tex]3=k[/tex]

The equation [tex]y=3x[/tex] represents our given direct proportional relation.

Now, we will substitute [tex]x=9[/tex] to solve for y as:

[tex]y=3*9[/tex]

[tex]y=27[/tex]

Therefore, a 9-ounce candle would be expected to burn for 27 hours and option B is the correct choice.

What is the measure of convex arc upper ZWX?

Answers

The measure of the convex arc is given by the following relationship:
 WZ + 41 = ZWX
 From here, we must clear We must replace the value of WZ.
 The value of WZ is given by
 WZ=180
 We have then:
 ZWX = 180 + 41
 ZWX = 221 degrees
 Answer:
 
the measure of convex arc upper ZWX is:
 ZWX
 = 221 degrees
Final answer:

The measure of convex arc upper ZWX is 180 degrees.

Explanation:

The measure of convex arc upper ZWX can be found by considering the angles formed by the diameters WZ and XR. Since WZ and XR are diameters of the circle, they intersect at the center of the circle. The angle formed by the diameters at the center is a right angle, which means that arc upper ZWX is a semicircle. A semicircle has a measure of 180 degrees. Therefore, the measure of convex arc upper ZWX is 180 degrees.

You plan on financing a new road bike for $2,500. The bike shop offers a 13.5% APR for a 24 month loan. Use this information, and the table above, to determine the monthly payments. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answers

This question can be approached using the present value of annuity formula. The present value of annuity is given by [tex]PV=P\left( \frac{1-\left(1+ \frac{r}{t} \right)^{-nt}}{ \frac{r}{t} } \right)[/tex], where: PV is the present value/amount of the loan, P is the periodic (monthly in this case) payment, r is the APR, t is the number of payments in one year and n is the number of years.

Given that the financing is for a new road bike of $2,500 and that the bike shop offers a 13.5% APR for a 24 month loan.

Thus, PV = $2,500; r = 13.5% = 0.135; t = 12 payments (since payment is made monthly); n = 2 years (i.e. 24 months)

Thus,

[tex]2500=P\left( \frac{1-\left(1+ \frac{0.135}{12} \right)^{-2\times12}}{ \frac{0.135}{12} } \right) \\ \\ =P\left( \frac{1-\left(1+ 0.01125 \right)^{-24}}{ 0.01125 } \right)=P\left( \frac{1-\left(1.01125 \right)^{-24}}{ 0.01125 } \right) \\ \\ =P\left( \frac{1-0.764531}{ 0.01125 } \right)=P\left( \frac{0.235469}{ 0.01125 } \right)=20.9306P \\ \\ \Rightarrow P= \frac{2500}{20.9306} =119.44[/tex]

Therefore, his monthly payment is $119.44

What did the prince do whenever he found a girl who might be cinderella

Answers

Final answer:

When a prince in fairy tales finds a potential Cinderella, he typically engages in a quest to determine if she is the one, reflecting the theme of male heroism and romantic pursuit found in traditional literature and films.

Explanation:

The passage raises the theme of romantic endeavors and the traditional role of women in classical literature and film, typically anchored within the context of royalty and fairy tales. When the prince in such stories finds a girl that could potentially be Cinderella, typically he would engage in a quest to discover if she truly is the one - often symbolized by a glass slipper fitting or other identifying item. This quest underscores the narrative of countless romantic tales where the male lead seeks to find and often rescue his female counterpart, a concept reflected in various Disney princess movies.

In the greater realm of literature and films, the prince often represents the chivalrous savior. This tradition is evident in the series of princess-centric stories produced by Disney, where a common girl becomes royalty by marriage or starts as a princess whose ultimate happiness is achieved through romance. Although contemporary stories may showcase more agency in their female protagonists, the motif of the male hero remains prevalent.

A box contains 16 ​transistors, 5 of which are defective. if 5 are selected at​ random, find the probability that

Answers

Part (a): All are defective
Only one way of selecting the 5 defective transistors:

Number of ways of selections available = 6C5 = 16!/[5!*(15-5)!] = 4368

Probability they are all defective = Number of ways of selecting 5 defectives/Total number of ways possible = 1/4368 ≈ 0.000229

Part (b): None are defective
Total number of non defectives = 16 -5 = 11
Number of ways of selecting 5 non defective = 11C5 = 462 ways
Total number of ways possible = 16C5 = 4368
Probability of selecting 5 non defectives = 462/4368 = 11/104 ≈ 0.1058


A - all defective

B - none defective


[tex] \displaystyle

Which sequence is modeled by the graph below? coordinate plane showing the points (1, 1) (2, 2) (3, 4) and (4, 8)
a. an = 1(2)n − 1
b. an = 2(1)n − 1
c. an = 1 + (2)n − 1
d. an = (2)(n − 1)

Answers

The y-values of 1, 2, 4, 8 imply an exponential function of base 2. At n = 1, y = 1 = 2^0. We can substitute into the various choices to determine the correct equation, which turns out to be a_n = 2^(n-1).

Answer: The correct option is d.

Explanation:

From the given information it is noticed that the coordinate plane showing the points (1, 1) (2, 2) (3, 4) and (4, 8).

The coordinates are in the form of (x,y), it means the value of xth term of the sequence is y.

The point (1,1) represents that the first term is 1. Similarly from  (2, 2) (3, 4) and (4, 8) points we can say that the second term is 2, third term is 4 and fourth term is 8.

The sequence is 1,2,4,8.

It can be written as,

[tex]2^0,2^1,2^2,2^3[/tex]

Since the base is common that is 2 and the power is one less than the position of term. So the sequence is in the form of,

[tex]a_n=2^{n-1}[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is d.

What is the fundamental principle of multiplication?

Multiplication is the mathematical operation that is used to determine the product of two or more numbers. If an event can occur in m different ways and if following it, a second event can occur in n different ways, then the two events in succession can occur in m × n different ways.

We are given that Mr. and Mrs. Yeager want to buy a home valued at $320,000.

If they have 15% of this amount saved for a down payment, then

15% =15/100=0.15

Therefore, we get;

0.15 (320000)=48000

If they have 15% of this amount saved for a down payment, then they saved 48000 dollar.

So option D) $48,000 is correct.

The radius of the planet is 4100 miles. Find the distance d to the horizon that a person can see on a clear day from a height of 1298 feet above the planet. (hint: use the conversion 1 mile = 5280 ft) Round your answer to the nearest 10th, and don't forget to convert feet to miles.

Answers

First, we are going to convert 1298 feet to miles. Since we know that 1 mile = 5280 ft, we are going to multiply 1298 ft by [tex] \frac{1mi}{5280ft} [/tex] to do that:
[tex]1298ft*\frac{1mi}{5280ft}= \frac{59}{240} mi[/tex]

Next, we are going to set up a right triangle using the radius of the Earth and the distance above the planet.

Using the Pythagorean theorem:
[tex]d^2= (\frac{984059}{240} )^2-4100^2[/tex]
[tex]d= \sqrt{(\frac{984059}{240} )^2-4100^2} [/tex]
[tex]d=44.9[/tex] miles

We can conclude that the distance, [tex]d[/tex], to the horizon that a person can see on a clear day from a height of 1298 feet above the planet is 44.9 miles.
