Several hours after departure the two ships described to the right are 50 miles apart. If the ship traveling south traveled 10 miles farther that the other how many miles did they each travel.
Answers
Answer:
[tex]Ship\ A = 40\ miles[/tex]
[tex]Ship\ B = 30\ miles[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]d = 50[/tex] --- distance apart
[tex]Ship\ B = x[/tex]
[tex]Ship\ A = x + 10[/tex]
The question can be represented with the attached image.
Required
Solve for x
Using Pythagoras theorem, we have:
[tex]x^2 + (x + 10)^2 = 50^2[/tex]
Open bracket
[tex]x^2 + x^2 + 20x + 100 = 2500[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]x^2 + x^2 + 20x + 100 - 2500 = 0[/tex]
[tex]2x^2 + 20x -2400 = 0[/tex]
Divide through by 2
[tex]x^2 + 10x -1200 = 0[/tex]
Expand
[tex]x^2 + 40x - 30x -1200 = 0[/tex]
Factorize
[tex]x(x + 40) - 30(x +40) = 0[/tex]
Factor out x + 40
[tex](x - 30)(x +40) = 0[/tex]
Split and solve for x
[tex]x - 30 = 0\ or\ x + 40 = 0[/tex]
[tex]x = 30\ or\ x = -40[/tex]
Distance can not be negative
So:
[tex]x = 30[/tex]
Recall that:
[tex]Ship\ B = x[/tex]
[tex]Ship\ A = x + 10[/tex]
This implies that:
[tex]Ship\ B = 30\ miles[/tex]
[tex]Ship\ A = 30 + 10\ miles[/tex]
[tex]Ship\ A = 40\ miles[/tex]

The distance between two cities on a map is 3.5 centimeters. The map uses a scale in which 1 centimeter represents 20 kilometers. What is the actual distance between these two cities in kilometers?
Answers
Answer:
70kilometers
Step-by-step explanation:
first we must find how much one half of a centimeter is
well, its easy, theres already a half for the distance, and the representation is an even number, so cut it in half.
20-10 is 10
and now the multiplication
20x3=60

In order to add the fractions 2/5 + 3/4, first, we need to find the least common denominator. The LCD for 4 & 5 is 20. Now that we know the LCD is 20, what are the new equivalent fractions?
Answers
Answer:
8/20 and 15/20 and then you add to get 23/20 AKA 1 3/20
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you multiply 5 by 4 to get the LCD, apply the same method to the top: 2 times 4 is 8
Next do the same for the other fraction: 4 times 5 is 20 so apply that to get 3 times 5 is 15
Your final fractions will be 8/20 and 15/20
Then add and reduce to get 1 3/20
You wonder what is the average number of credits Le Moyne students take per semester. You speak with the Le Moyne registrar, and they tell you that Le Moyne students take an average of 17 credits per semester with a population standard deviation of 2.5 credits. We plan to take a sample of 49 students and ask each student how many credits they plan to take. Assume that the population mean is 17 credits and the populations standard deviation is 2.5 credits. What does the CLT say about the distribution of the sample mean of 49 students
Answers
Answer:
The CLT says that the distribution is approximately normal, with mean of 17 credits and standard deviation of 0.3571 credits.
Step-by-step explanation:
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
Assume that the population mean is 17 credits and the populations standard deviation is 2.5 credits.
This means that [tex]\mu = 17, \sigma = 2.5[/tex]
What does the CLT say about the distribution of the sample mean of 49 students?
It is approximately normal.
The mean is 17.
Due to the sample of 49, n = 49, and the standard deviation is [tex]s = \frac{2.5}{\sqrt{49}} = 0.3571[/tex]
The CLT says that the distribution is approximately normal, with mean of 17 credits and standard deviation of 0.3571 credits.

Please help meeee! A new crosswalk is being built between the parallel sidewalks of Circle Avenue. The edges of the crosswalk are parallel. One angle that the crosswalk makes with the sidewalk measures 78 degrees, as shown. Determine the measures of the missing angles. The drawing is not drawn to scale.
Answers
Answer:
[tex]A = 78^\circ[/tex]
[tex]B = 102^\circ[/tex]
[tex]C = 102^\circ[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The attached image
Required
Find A, B and C
Because the sides of the crosswalk are parallel and the sidewalks are also parallel, then the following relationships exist
[tex]A = 78^\circ[/tex] ---- alternate interior angles
[tex]B = C[/tex] ---- alternate interior angles
To solve for B, we have:
[tex]B + 78 = 180[/tex] --- the sum of the base angles
[tex]B = 180 - 78[/tex]
[tex]B = 102^\circ[/tex]
Recall that:
[tex]B = C[/tex]
[tex]C = 102^\circ[/tex]

(PLEASE HELP) A teacher surveyed a sample of students from Lake Middle School. He asked the students where they'd like to go for a field trip. He recorded these results:
• 80 chose the aquarium.
• 60 chose the science center.
• 30 chose the planetarium.
• 40 chose the farm.
The teacher wants to figure out the relative frequency of a student choosing the aquarium. He'll then estimate how many students out of all 1000 at the school are likely to choose the aquarium.
(he surveyed 210 students and about 38% of them chose the aquarium)
Write and solve a proportion that the teacher can use to estimate how many students in the whole school would choose the aquarium.
Answers
Answer:
relative frequency of choosing aquarium is 80/210
about 400 students out of 2000 will choose aquarium
Step-by-step explanation:
relative frequency of choosing aquarium is 80/210
proportion:
a = students who choose aquarium
80/210 = a/1000
210a = 80000
a = 80000/210 which is close to 80000/200 which equals 800/2 or about 400 students

Question: Edwin usually makes 20 cookies with this recipe, but only wants 5 cookies.
How much is 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla to make 5 cookies?
(PLEASE HELP!!)
the wrong answers that u guessed just to get points and links and other stuff that is not answering this will be reported
Answers
Answer:
1/2 teaspoons of vanilla would be too much, the correct amount to use would be 0.125 teaspoons.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 1 stick butter, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 3 tablespoons milk, 1 1/2 cup flour, 2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt is the regular recipe for 20 cookies, we would first have to divide 20 by 5 which would equal 4. And just like we had to divide the number of cookies down we have to divide the amount of vanilla down. So now we could turn 1/2 into a decimal which is 0.5. And 0.5 divided by 4 is 0.125.
So Edwin would need 0.125 teaspoons of vanilla so 0.5 ( 1/2 ) teaspoons of vanilla would be too much.

A the number of boxes of cereal
B the number of loaves of bread
Cthe cost of a box of cereal
Dthe cost of a loaf of bread
Answers
Answer:
C. The cost of a box of cereal
Step-by-step explanation:
In the question, we are given the number of 3 boxes of cereal, 2 loaves of bread, and that the total cost is $15. We can see these numbers in the equation, and putting it into context, we see that the 15 is on the right side of the equation, which indicates cash. Therefore, the 3 and 2 are accounted for, but their prices are unknown. X is a placeholder for the unidentified cost of a box of cereal, and we know that it's the boxes of cereal and not the loaves of bread because there are 3 and not 2.
