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>

A survey was conducted
inna [77]

Answer: 9/25 or 36%

Step-by-step explanation:

72 + 28 + 62 + 38 = 200

There are 200 people in total and 72 are youngsters who like sport cars.

So, the number of youngsters who like cars out of the total number of people is 72/200.

Now, find a greatest common divisor. In this case, the greatest common divisor is 8.

72 / 8 = 9

200 / 8 = 25

9/25 (fraction)

25 * 4 = 100

9 * 4 = 36

36/100 = 36% (percentage)
