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>

Answer:

  • x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>We know that</u>

  • The diagonals of a rectangle are of equal length
  • The diagonals bisect each other

<u>Considering the above we have:</u>

  • EG = HF = 2JF = 2JH

<u>Substitute the given values and solve for x:</u>

  • 24x - 8 = 2*(8x + 4)
  • 24x - 8 = 16x + 8
  • 24x - 16x = 8 + 8
  • 8x = 16
  • x = 16/2
  • x = 2

Simplify 6 x 10−7 2 x 105 .
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

-49

Step-by-step explanation:

it would be this because first we would have to figure out what 6*10 is that why we know what to distribute . so once we figure it out , which is 70 . We would then subtract 14 from 70 . Since 7 is right next to 2 we would then multiply it to get to 14. Once we get that you should get 56, from there you would subtract 56 to 105 , and get your answer.
