Total distance = 2*22/7*(2/2) = 6.28 miles
speed = 3 miles/Hours
Time= D/S = 6.28/3 = 2.09 (approx)
so this fit in C.

e)3<t<3.5
Now circumference of a circle = (pi) * diameter of the circle
So, the distance traveled by Joe = 2(pi) = 2 * 3.14 = 6.28 approx.
It is given that his speed = 3 mph
Time, t = distance traveled/speed = 6.28/3 = 2.09 approx
The correct answer is C.

Total # of people = 248golu23 wrote: In a survey of 248 people 156 are married,70 are self employed and 25% of those who are married are self employed. IF a person is to be randomly selected from those surveyed, what is the probability that the person will be self employed but not married?
A)1/8 B)4/31 c) 117/248 d)1/4 e)31/117
Married people, which includes self employed and not employed = 156
Total self employed = 70
# of people who are self employed among the married people = 25% of 156 = 0.25 * 156 = 39
So, self employed people who are not married = 70 - 39 = 31
Therefore, required probability = 31/248 = [spoiler]1/8[/spoiler]
The correct answer is A.
