The average speed of Martha and Sarah is 32 km/h.

We need to know about the speed to solve this problem. Speed can be determined as the distance traveled divided by time. It can be written as

v = s / t

where v is speed, s is distance and t is time.

From the question above, we know that:

t sarah = 3 hours

t martha = 5 hours

v sarah = 40 km/h

By using the speed equation, we get the distance

vsarah = s / tsarah

40 = s/3

s = 120 km

Find Martha's speed

vmartha = s / tmartha

vmartha = 120 / 5

vmartha = 24 km/h

Find average speed

v = (vsarah + vmartha)/2

v = (40 + 24) / 2

v = 32 km/h

Hence, the average speed of Martha and Sarah is 32 km/h.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

m=\frac{9}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope Formula: m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope <em>m</em>:

m=\frac{-4-5}{-1-6}

m=\frac{-9}{-7}

m=\frac{9}{7}

Is 272 oz greater than 20 lb
Karolina [17]
We know that 1 lb = 16 oz
So lets convert the 20 lb to oz and then compare the two quantities in consistent units.
If 1 lb = 16 oz then 20 lb are equal to 20*16 oz, that is
20 lb = 20*16 oz = 320 oz
therefore,
320 oz are greater than 272 oz, or,
20 lb are greater that 272 oz
