Triplets Peter, Reeta and Nikita have two ways for getting home from school each day: cycle on a tandem bike or walk. The bike can carry either one or two riders at a time. Regardless of the number of people pedalling, cycling speed is 5 times walking speed. The triplets always leave school at the same time and always use the same path between school and home, whether walking or cycling. The school is 5 km from home and their walking speed is 4 kilometres per hour. a On Monday, Nikita and Peter cycle and Reeta walks. On reaching the point four-fifths of the way home the bike gets a puncture, so Nikita and Peter walk the rest of the way home. How far from school is Reeta when the cyclists arrive home? b On Tuesday, Peter and Reeta ride the bike and Nikita walks. When the cyclists arrive home, Peter hops off the bike and Reeta rides back towards school to collect Nikita. How far from school is Nikita when Reeta reaches her? c On Wednesday, Reeta and Nikita take the bike and Peter walks. When the cyclists are halfway home, Reeta off and walks the rest of the way, while Nikita heads back to pick up Peter. How far from school is Reeta when her siblings pass her on the bike? d On Thursday, it is Reeta's turn to walk. Peter drops Nikita off at a certain point leaving her to walk home. Meanwhile he returns to pick up Reeta and they cycle home together. If all three arrive home at the same time, how far from school are the drop-off and pick-up points?

Answers

Answer 1

The distance between Reeta and the school when the cyclists arrive the home for this case is found to be 2 km

How to form mathematical expressions from the given description?

You can represent the unknown amounts by the use of variables. Follow whatever the description is and convert it one by one mathematically. For example, if it is asked to increase some items by 4, then you can add 4 in that item to increase it by 4. If something is, for example, doubled, then you can multiply that thing by 2 and so on methods can be used to convert descriptions to mathematical expressions.

How to find the speed of an object?

If the object is going linearly, and at a constant speed, then the speed of that object is given by the distance it travelled to the time it took to travel that distance.

If the object travelled D distance in T units of time, then that object's speed is

[tex]Speed = \dfrac{D}{T}[/tex]

Given that:

Distance from school to home = 5 kmWalking speed = 4 km / hoursCycling speed = 5 times walking speed = 20 km / hourThey all go and come together to and from school/home.On Monday: Nikita and Peter are coming by cycle, and Reeta walks.Cycle punctures at four-fifth of the way home = [tex]\dfrac{4}{5}\times 5[/tex] from school (as they're coming towards home, so went from school)After a puncture, cyclists walk to homeTo find the Distance of Reeta from school when the cyclist reaches home.

Suppose at time 0 hours, all three people departed from school (on that Monday).

After 't' hours, suppose the cycle gets punctured.

Then, as the cycle was going by 20 km/hour speed, so in 't' hours, it must have covered d kilometres (suppose),

then we get:

[tex]S =\dfrac{D}{T}[/tex]

[tex]20=\dfrac{d}{t}[/tex]

d = 20t

This distance is measured from school. But we know that this distance is 4 km, so we get:

20t = 4

t  =  1 / 4

The remaining 1 km (as the home is 5 km away from school and 4 km is already travelled) is walked by Cyclists. And walking speed is 5 km/hour, so let they take T hours to travel that 1 km walking, then we get:

5 =  1 / T

t = 0.2 hours

So, the total time cyclists took to reach home from school is: 0.2+0.2=0.4 hours

Reeta is walking that whole 5 km.

The time the cyclist reached home, Reeta had walked for 0.4 hours as they had started at the same time, and it took cyclists 0.4 hours to reach home.

Thus, we have:

Time is taken 0.4 hours, speed of Reeta = walking speed= 5 km/hour, then we get:

D = S x T

D = 5 x 0.4 = 2 km

So Reeta was 2 km away from school when cyclists reached home on that Monday.

Thus, the distance between Reeta and the school when the cyclists arrive at the home for this case is found to be 2 km

The first buses to X and Y leave a bus station at 7 am
Buses to X leave every 25 minutes.
Buses to Y leave every 20 minutes.
When will the buses to X and Y next leave at the same time

Answers

The lowest common multiple of 25 and 20 is 100
The next time the buses leave at the same time is 100 minutes after 7 am which is 8:40 am

The time at which the buses will leave at the same time is 8:40 am.

What is a factor?

A factor is a number that divides another number, leaving no remainder

Example: 3 x 2 = 6

2 is a factor of 3.

We have,

Buses:

X leaves every 25 minutes.

Y leaves every 20 minutes.

We need to find the least common multiples of 25 and 20.

25 x 4 = 100

20 x 5 = 100

100 is our least common multiple of 25 and 20.

We see that,

4 is a factor of 24 which gives 100.

This means after 4 times, bus X will leave with bus Y at the same time.

5 is a factor of 20 which gives 100.

This means after 5 times, bus Y will leave with bus X at the same time.

The first buses to X and Y leave a bus station at 7 am.

After 100 minutes, buses X and Y will leave at the same time.

= 7am + 100 minutes

= 7 + 60 minutes + 40 minutes

= 7 + 1 hour + 40 minutes

= 8:40 am

Thus,

The time at which the buses will leave at the same time is 8:40 am.

If you can simplify the fractions, then simplify

An ordinary (fair) die is a cube with the numbers 1 through 6 on the sides (represented by painted spots). Imagine that such a die is rolled twice in succession and that the face values of the two rolls are added together. This sum is recorded as the obtcome of a single trial of a random experiment. Compute the probability of each of the following events. Event A: The sum is greater than 6. Event B: The sum is divisible by 4. Write your answers as fractions. ​

Answers

Answers:

P(A) = 7/12

P(B) = 1/4

====================================================

Explanation:

Instead of having one die, let's say we have two dice. I'll make one red and the other blue.

I'll be using the dice chart shown below. The red and blue values add up to the black numbers inside the table. For instance, we have 1+1 = 2 in the upper left corner. There are 6*6 = 36 sums total.

Using that table, we can see the following:

There are 6 copies of "7"There are 5 copies of "8"There are 4 copies of "9"There are 3 copies of "10"There are 2 copies of "11"There is 1 copy of "12"

In total, we have 6+5+4+3+2+1 = 21 instances where the two dice add to something larger than 6.

This is out of 36 ways to roll two dice.

Therefore P(A) = 21/36 = (3*7)/(3*12) = 7/12

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

If a number is divisible by 4, then it is a multiple of 4.

The multiples of 4 found in the table are: 4, 8, 12

We have

3 copies of "4"5 copies of "8"1 copy of "12"

This gives 1+5+3 = 9 values that are a multiple of 4

P(B) = 9/36 = (1*9)/(4*9) = 1/4

What is a circle?

It is described as a set of points, where each point is at the same distance from a fixed point (called the centre of a circle)

We have angle GHJ = 82 units

Length of GH = 12 units

We know:

s = 2πr(θ/360)

s = (2π)12(82/360)

s = 17.17 units

(please put you solution)

Answers

Answer:

4 19/36

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to subtract the sum of 10 2/9 and 5 1/4 from 20 to get the answer.

 =>     10 2/9 + 5 1/4

          As   a c/d    is     a + c/d,

          10 2/9 + 5 1/4 can also be written as  10+5+2/9+1/4

     

           now  we have to simplify it

 =>      10+5 = 15  

 =>      2/9 =  (2*4)/9*4)  =  8/36,    1/4  =  (1*9)/(4*9)  =  9/36

           now we have the same denominators

           add,

           8/36 + 9/36  =  (8+9)/36    =      17/36

 

 =>      now we know that 10 2/9 +  5 1/4  is  15 17/36 (  which is 15 + 17/36)

           

 =>      next step is to convert 15 17/36 into an improper fraction

           15 17/36  =     [(15*36)+17]/36     =     [540+17]/36    =   557/36

           

 =>       now we just have to subtract  557/26 from 20

            20 -  557/36  =   [(20*36)-557]/36   =    [720-557]/36   =    163/36

         

 =>   we can convert 163/36 into a mixed fraction if we want to  

        163/36 converted into mixed fraction is 4 19/36

Graph on the same axes: y =x^2-4 and y=4-x^2. Write an equation for the part of the graph which is above of the x-axis.​

Answers

The graph can be seen at the end, and the piecewise function for the part above the x-axis is:

f(x) = x^2 - 4 if  x ∈ (-∞, -2] or x ∈ [2, ∞)

f(x) = 4 - x^2 if x  ∈ (-2, 2).

How to write the equation?

First, we need to graph both functions, so we can see when each one is positive, the graphs of:

y = x^2 - 4

y = 4 - x^2

Can be seen at the end.

So, the first function is positive in the interval (-∞, -2] and [2, ∞), and the second function is positive in the interval (-2, 2)

So for the part of the function above the x-axis we have a piecewise function:

f(x) = x^2 - 4 if  x ∈ (-∞, -2] or x ∈ [2, ∞)
