Answer:
The answer is b. But you asked for the thought process so...
Step-by-step explanation:
Let speed of the 1st trip x miles / hr. and speed of the 2nd trip 3x / hr.
We know that
Speed = Distance/Time.
Or, Time = Distance/Speed.
So, the time taken to cover a distance of 50 miles on his first trip = 50/x hr.
And the time taken to cover a distance of 300 miles on his later trip = 300/3x hr.
= 100/x hr.
So we can clearly see that his new time compared with the old time was: twice as much.
Have a great day :)
Answer:
option 4
Step-by-step explanation:
|a| represents Absolute value, it is the distance from zero that a number is on the number line. And we know distance cannot be negative.
So,
600,<span>We round the number up to the nearest hundred if the last two digits in the number are 50 or above.</span>
For solving this question we will use the relationship between the range of data and the spread of data. The relationship is that "Higher the Range of the Data, Higher is the Spread and lower the range of the data then lower is the spread".
So, keeping in mind this definition let us proceed and check each option and measure their range.
We know that Range is measured as
Range=(Highest Value of the Data)-(Lowest Value of the Data)
a. 13.7-3.1=10.6
b. 423.6-1.3=422.3
c. 38.4-7.2=31.2
d. 231.4-5.5=225.9
As we can see Option b. has the largest range and as range is a measure of spread then option b is the distribution which has the largest spread.
Answer:
if you are subtracting then you would : 457-418=39
