1. suzette ran and biked for a total of 110 mi in 7 h. her average running speed was 5 mph and her average biking speed was 20 mph.
let x = total hours suzette ran.
let y = total hours suzette biked.
use substitution to solve for x and y. show your work. check your solution.
(a) how many hours did suzette run?
(b) how many hours did she bike?

Part a) Suzette ran 2 hours

Part b) Suzette biked 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x > total hours Suzette ran

y > total hours Suzette biked

we  know that

x+y=7

x=7-y > equation A

5x+20y=110 > equation B

Solve the system by substitution

substitute equation A in equation B and solve for y

5(7-y)+20y=110

35-5y+20y=110

15y=110-35

15y=75

y=5 hours

Find the value of x

x=7-5=2 hours

therefore

Suzette ran 2 hours and biked 5 hours

Check your solution

Her average running speed was 5 mph

so

Find the distance

Multiply the speed by the number of hours

5(2)=10 miles

Her average biking speed was 20 mph

so

Find the distance

Multiply the speed by the number of hours

20(5)=100 miles

Adds the two distances

10 +100=110 miles > is correct

283 square feet

good luck

i found the life tables for the year 2012. 

life table of males at age 30. probability of dying between ages x and x+1

total population:  

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001030

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001061

males:

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001448

white population

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001037

white males

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001372

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001399

non hispanic white population

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001083

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001116

non hispanic white males

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001477

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001503

jacob, non hispanic white male. 30 years old.

probability that jacob lives to be 30 years old. 

since the given probabilities are probabilities of dying, i think we simply subtract it from 1 to get the probability of living. we will use the probability of non hispanic white male.

                                          probability of living to be 30 y.o.

29 - 30 : 1 - 0.001477 = 0.998523

30 - 31 : 1 - 0.001503 = 0.998497
