Alice, Bob, and Carol were riding their bikes along the same path at different speeds. Alice's speed was twice Bob's speed, and

Carols' speed was one-third that of Alice's speed. What was Carol's speed, in miles per hour, if Bob's speed was 9 miles per hour

Carol's speed is computed to be 6 miles/hour, solved using the equation (3x)/2 = 9.

We assume Carol's speed to be x miles/hours.

Carol's speed is given to be one-third of Alice's speed.

Then Alice's speed is three times Carol's speed, that is, Alice's speed = 3x miles/hour.

Alice's speed is given to be twice Bob's speed.

Then Bob's speed is half of Alice's speed, that is, Bob's speed = (3x)/2 miles/hour.

But, Bob's speed is given to be 9 miles per hour.

Therefore, we get the equation:

(3x)/2 = 9.

To find Carol's speed, we solve this equation as follows:

(3x)/2 = 9,

or, {(3x)/2}*2 = 9*2 {Multiplying both sides by 2},

or, 3x = 18 {Simplifying},

or, 3x/3 = 18/3 {Dividing both sides by 3},

or, x = 6 {Simplifying}.

Therefore, Carol's speed is computed to be 6 miles/hour, solved using the equation (3x)/2 = 9.

Which units should she use to report the distance from the earth to the moon?
Anvisha [2.4K]
Well,

The distance from the earth to the moon, FYI, is over 200,000 miles.  That is a LONG distance.  We are trying to find a reasonable unit of measurement.

What do we mean by "reasonable?"  We mean that that unit should be able to express the distance as a number that is not huge or tiny.  In other words, we want it to be as close as possible to 1.

mm, or millimeters, is a tiny unit.  It is not reasonable.

cm, or centimeters, is also a tiny unit.  It also is not reasonable.

m, or meters, is also a relatively small unit.  It also is not reasonable.

km, or kilometers, is the largest of the four.  In km, the distance from the earth to the moon is about 363,000 km.  That's not too bad.

However, if these weren't the only options, I would choose Mm, or megameters, which would put the distance at 363 Mm.

The correct option is D.

Which mathematical expression means seven more than the product of three and x
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

More than means addition and product means multiplication.  Therefore, seven more than the product of three and x would mean multiplying 3 and x together then adding 7 to that.  Or,  3x + 7.
