Tanya is competing in a 3 mile race that starts at 10am. she hopes to run at an average rate of 6 miles per hour. at 10: 15 am her mother arrives at the finish line and is told that tanya is exactly halfway through the race. define the independent and dependent variables. write an equation that represents the total distance tanya has run in terms of minutes from the time her mother arrives. how long will tanya's mother have to wait at the finish line for tanya to arrive? assume tanya continues to run at the same speed.

Our star pitcher, foster enlight, can throw a pitch so fast that it gets to the catcher’s mitt before it leaves foster’s fingers! if the team wins a game then the probability that foster was pitching is 0.8 but only if foster had at least one day’s rest since his last pitching assignment. if foster does not have a day off and the team still wins, the probability that foster was pitching drops by half of what it was on the previous day. if the team wins three games in succession from the toronto tachyons and foster pitched in game #2, what is the probability that he pitched in one or more of the other games? (assume that foster did not pitch on the day before the first game of this three game series.)
