Answer:
If they are travelling in opposite directions, their total distance is the 135. So add their distances together to get 135
x=Quinn's speed
x+5 = James' speed
they each travel for 5 hours
speed x time = distance
x(5) + (x+5)(5) = 135
Quinn's distance + James' distance = total distance
5x+5x+25=135
10x = 110
x = 11
Quinn travels at 11 mph and James travels at 16 mph
Quinn travels 55 miles (5x11)
and James travels 80 miles (16 x 5)
80 + 55=135
52 cards - 4 kings = 48 other cards
Probability of picking something other than a king would be 48/52
48/52 can be reduced to 12/13 probability.
The reason for this has to do with finding the area of a square. When you are looking for the area of a square, you use the rectangle formula (since a square is also a rectangle).
The formula is Area = Length * Width
However, since in a square, the length and width are the same, both get changed to the word "Side". As a result, we get the following formula.
Area = Side * Side
This can be simplified to:
Area = Side^2.
Since each number to the second power also shows the area of a square with that given length sides, it can also be called "squared".
