Ted is a long distance driver. it took him 30 min longer to drive 275km on the trans-canada highway west of swift current, saskatchewan, than it took him to drive 300km east of swift current. he averaged 10km/h less while travelling west of swift current due to more severe snow conditions. what was ted's average speed for each part of the trip?

Speed traveling west = x - 10 km /hr

275 / ( x-10) - 300 / x = 1/2

275 *2x - 300 (x-10)*2 = ( x-10) *x

550x - 600x +6000 = x^2 -10x

x^2 +40x - 6000 = 0

( x -60) ( x+100) = 0

x = 60

ANSWER East = 60 km/ hr West = 50 km /hr

CHECK

300 /60 = 5 hours

275 /50 = 5.5 hours

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

non hispanic white population

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
