The speed of an object is its distance traveled per unit time

The average speed required for the remainder of the trip <u>55.5</u>

<u />

The reason the average speed value is correct is given as follows:

The known parameters;

The length of the first part of the trip, L = 218 mile

Duration of the time the sales person travels, t₁ = 2 hours and 15 minute

Average speed of travel, v₁ = 64 mph

The time at which the salesperson arrive at the destination, t₂ = 1 hour and 20 minutes

Required:

To find the average speed required for the remainder of the trip

Solution:

Distance traveled = Speed × Time

The distance traveled on the first part of the trip, <em>d₁ = v₁ × t₁</em>

(t₁ = 2 hours and 15 minute = 2.25 hours)

∴ d = 64 mph × 2.25 hours = 144 miles

The distance of the remainder part of the trip, d₂ = L - d₁

d₂ = 218 mile - 144 mile = 74 mile

The average speed required for the remainder of the trip, v₂, is given as follows;

v_2 = \dfrac{d_2}{t_2}

t₂ = 1 hour and 20 minutes = 1\frac{1}{3}  \ hour = \frac{4}{3}  \, hour

Therefore;

v_2 = \dfrac{74 \ mile}{1\frac{1}{3} \ hour} = 55.5 \ mph

With the units left out, we have;

<u>The average speed required for the remainder of the trip, v₂ = 55.5</u>

Shenise is a star player for her women's basketball team. She has injured her ankle, and it is doubtful that she will be able to
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is that it's expected the team will score 72 points.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. This is the information given in the question:

When Shenise can play the team scores 91 points

Without Shenise the team just scores 60 points

Therefore, when Shenise is at her best, her 100%, she scores 31 points by herself. When she's not in conditions, she can't play.

2. For finding out how many points Shenise can score if she plays, we use this formula:

If Shenise is at her 100%, she scores 31 points, how many points can she score if she's at 40% chance of playing?

Points upcoming game = 31 * 40 / 100

Points upcoming game = 1,240 / 100

Points upcoming game = 12.40 = 12 (rounding to the nearest whole number)

3. If Shenise plays, she can score 12 points. Now, we can calculate how many points her team will score.

Points the team scores when Shenise doesn't play = 60

Points the team will score if Shenise plays = 60 + 12 = 72

<u>The team will probably score 72 points with a 40% chance that Shenise will play the upcoming game</u>
