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.

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

\dfrac{225}{64}

Step-by-step explanation:

(4^3)^{-2} \times (2^3)^4 \times (\dfrac{8}{15})^{-2} =

= (2^2)^{-6} \times 2^{12} \times (\dfrac{15}{8})^{2}

= 2^{-12} \times 2^{12} \times \dfrac{225}{64}

= \dfrac{225}{64}
