The distance travelled to the appointment is 6720 miles

<h3>How to find the distance she travelled for the appointment?</h3>

Since margaret drove to a business appointment at 70 mph.

So, the distance on the trip,d = vt where

  • v = speed to business appointment = 70 mph and
  • t = time to business appointment

So, d = 70t

Since her average speed on the return trip was 60 mph. the return trip took 16 hr longer because of heavy traffic.

The distance on the return trip, D = v't' where

  • v = speed on return trip = 60 mph and
  • t = time on return trip = t + 16

So, D = 60(t + 16)

Since both distances are equal, we have that

d = D

70t = 60(t + 16)

70t = 60t + 960

70t - 60t = 960

10t = 960

t = 960/10

t = 96 h

Since the distance to the appointment d = 70t

Substituting t = 96 into the equation, we have

d = 70t

d = 70 × 96

d = 6720 miles

So, the distance to the appointment is 6720 miles

Alana biked 12 miles in 48 minutes. What is Alana's speed in miles per minute?
marusya05 [52]
Question:- Alana biked 12 miles in 48 minutes. What is Alana's speed in miles per minute?

Answer:-

Set up a proportion.

12/48 = 1/x

Cross multiply.

12*x = 12x
48*1 = 48

12x = 48

12x/12 = 48/12 

x= 48/12
x= 4

Now, we have our final answer. x = 4

Final answer:- Alana bikes 4 miles per minute.

Please show the steps I need this right now I’m taking a test8(x−4)&lt;7x−3
Olegator [25]

Answer:

x < 29

Step-by-step explanation:

8(x−4)<7x−3; distribute 8 in the parenthesis

8x - 32 < 7x - 3; subtract 7x from both sides

x - 32 < -3; add 32 to both sides

x < 29
