On a drive from your home to town, you
wish to average 60 mph. The distance from
your home to town is 78 miles. However,
at 39 miles (half way), you find you have
averaged only 45 mph.
What average speed must you maintain in
the remaining distance in order to have an
overall average speed of 60 mph?
Answer in units of mph.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Your average speed must be 90 mph in the remaining distance in order to have overall average speed of 60 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of distance is d = v × t, where

v is the average speedt is the time

∵ You  wish to average 60 mph on a drive from your home to town

∵ The distance from  your home to town is 78 miles

→ Find the time of your journey using the rule above

∴ 78 = 60 × t

→ Divide both sides by 60

∴ [tex]\frac{78}{60}[/tex] = t

t = [tex]\frac{13}{10}[/tex] hours

∵ You have averaged only 45 mph in the first 39 miles (half way)

∴ v1 = 45 mph

∴ d1 = 39 miles

→ Find the time of this part

∴ 39 = 45 × t1

→ Divide both sides by 45

∴ [tex]\frac{39}{45}[/tex] = t1

t1 = [tex]\frac{13}{15}[/tex] hour

→ Subtract the time of the first part from the time of the journey to

  find the time for the second part

∵ t2 = t - t1

∴ t2 = [tex]\frac{13}{10}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{13}{15}[/tex]

t2 = [tex]\frac{13}{30}[/tex] hour

→ Now let us find the average speed of the second part of his journey

∵ d2 = 39 miles ⇒ (78 - 39)

∵ t2 = [tex]\frac{13}{30}[/tex] hour

∴ 39 = v2 × [tex]\frac{13}{30}[/tex]

→ Divide both sides by [tex]\frac{13}{30}[/tex]

∴ 39 ÷ [tex]\frac{13}{30}[/tex]  = v2

∴ 90 = v2

v2 = 90 mph

Your average speed must be 90 mph in the remaining distance in

   order to have overall average speed of 60 mph

What is the slope of the points (2,5) and (0,-4)?

To find the slope of two points, we have to first assign our points as x1, y1 and x2, y2.

In our problem,

x1 = 2 and y1 = 5

x2 = 0 and y2 = -4

We know that that slope = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1. Let's plug our numbers into this formula.

Slope = -4 - 5 / 0 - 2 = -9 / -2 = 9 / 2

Answer:

  C.  $225,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The utilization for each department must be at most the available capacity. Each product quantity must be non-negative.

You could almost guess the answer here because the profit on product C is so much higher than for the others.

Profit is maximized by producing as much of product C as possible. That quantity is limited by the assembly hours constraint: 2C ≤ 30,000. This permits production of 15,000 units, so gives a profit of ...

  $15·15,000 = $225,000 . . . maximum profit

An ant crept to a hole, which was 210 cm away.
It crept 40 cm per minute, but the wind pushed
it back 5 cm every minute. How many minutes
will it take the ant to reach the hole?

Answers

Answer:

6 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The ant can crawl 40 cm per minute but is pushed back 5 cm every minute aswell. In total the ant will crawl 35 cm per minute (40 - 5 = 35).

In order to find how long it will take for the ant to reach the hole we divide 210 by 35 (210/35) to get the answer of 6, therefore it takes the ant 6 minutes to reach the hole.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets begin by figuring out the pints per week/pints per day. Multiplying 8 times 24, we get our daily total of 192 pints per day. Multiply this by 7 and we get a total of 1344 pints per week. We now must convert these pints into cups, which can be done by multiplying the total amount of pints by 2. 1344 times 2 = 2,688 cups

A water tank holds 648 gallons but is leaking at a rate of 4 gallons per week. A second water tank holds 864 gallons but is leaking at a rate of 7 gallons per week. After how many weeks will the amount of water in the two tanks be the same?


The amount of water in the two tanks will be the same in ________ weeks.

Answers

Answer:

The first tank contains

486 gal - (4 gal/week) t

gal of water after t weeks.

Similarly, the second tank contains

648 gal - (7 gal/week) t

gal of water.

The tanks hold the same amount of water when these two amounts are equal:

486 gal - (4 gal/week) t = 648 gal - (7 gal/week) t

(7 gal/week) t - (4 gal/week) t = 648 gal - 486 gal

(3 gal/week) t = 162 gal

t = (162 gal) / (3 gal/week)

t = 54 weeks
