A group of friends traveled at a constant rate. They traveled 2/5 of a mile in 1/4 of an hour.Which of the following statements

are true about this unit rate? Select all that apply.A divide 2/5 by 1/4 to find the unit rate per hour B The average speed will be less than 1 mile per hour because the group travels less than a fourth of a mile in1/4 of an hour C The group traveled at an average speed of 1 3/5 miles per hour.D The average speed will be greater than 1 mile per hour because the group travels more than a fourth of a mile in1/4 of an hour .E The group traveled at an average speed of 2 1/4 of a miles per hour.

The distance traveled, d = 2/5 miles = 0.4 miles.

The time taken to travel 0.4miles is given as, t = 1/4 hr = 0.25 hr.

Thus, the average speed, s = distance traveled divided by time taken.

i.e.

\begin{gathered} \text{average speed = }\frac{distance\text{ traveled}}{\text{time taken}}\text{ =  }\frac{0.4}{0.25}\text{ } \\ \text{average sp}eed\text{ = 1.6 miles/hr} \end{gathered}

we can now go through the options and see the correct answers:

option A is correct because unit rate per hour is the same thing as average speed

option B is wrong because average speed is greater than 1mile/hr from our calculation above

option C is wrong because 13/5 gives us 2.6 miles/hr

option D is correct because the average speed is indeed greater than 1

option E is wrong because average speed is 1.6 miles/hr not 2 1/4 miles/hr

Thus, the answers are:

Option A and Option D

Factor quadratic trinomials
ad-work [718]
1. (x - 9) + (x + 5)
You split the x^2 into two xs
The one with an x (-4x) is what the two numbers should equal
-9 + 5 = 4
The one without an x (-45) is what the two numbers product should be
-9 times 5 = -45
*so remember the x is the sum of the two
*no x is the product of the two
Theres no quick trick to find the answer u just have to plug it in
*start with all the numbers that multiply for the no x (-45)
-3 and 15 or 3 and -15 is obviously not it as the sum does not equal -4
Those sums equal 12 or -12
I’ll do one more and ur on ur own comrade (ok and ill do number 4)
3. (x - 8) + (x - 9)
ok this time both the answers have a negative
*if it has only one negative in the problem there are going to be TWO negatives in the answer
-8 and -9 sum is -17
-8 and -9 sum is 72
If there was only one negative in the answer it would make the 72 negative and there is no -72 in the problem
So this one is
(x - 8) + (x - 9) (u dont have to have it like this u can put the (x - 9) in the front doesn’t matter which way it’s just the signs (- & +) that matter
OK now 4.
4. This one is very easy as all u need to do is find the two numbers for the product
(X - 6) (X + 6)
(Again it doesn’t matter which () is in front just the SIGNS INSIDE THE PARENTHESES ( + & - )

What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (−2, 1) and (1, 10)?
Viktor [21]

Answer:

3x - y = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m = deltay/deltax

m = (10 - 1)/[( 1 - (-2)]

m = 9/3 = 3

y = 3x + b

From (-2 | 1) we see that when x = -2, y = 1

Placing into the equation, in order to find b (y-intercept)

y = 3x + b

1 = 3(-2) + b

b = 7

y = 3x + 7 or 3x - y = -7

The difference of three and the reciprocal of a number is equal to the quotient of 20 and the number. Find the number.
Monica [59]

Equation to find number: \frac{1}{n} - 3 = \frac{20}{n}

Number's value: n = -\frac{19}{3}



Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the unknown number.

The reciprocal basically makes the number (n in this case) a fraction. So, that being said, the reciprocal of n would be \frac{1}{n}.

The difference of three and the reciprocal of a number (\frac{1}{n}) would be \frac{1}{n} - 3.

The quotient of 20 and the number (n) would be \frac{20}{n}.

So, with this information we've gathered so far, we can come up with an equation to find what the number equals.

Equation: \frac{1}{n} - 3 = \frac{20}{n}

To find what the number equals we must solve the equation.

What are the first four terms in the sequence Tn=4n+9?
marysya [2.9K]

Answer: If the initial term of an arithmetic sequence is a 1 and the common difference of successive members is d, then the nth term of the sequence is given by: a n = a 1 + (n - 1)d The sum of the first n terms S n of an arithmetic sequence is calculated by the following formula: S n = n (a 1 + a n)/2 = n [2a 1 + (n - 1)d]/2
