Answer:

15 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance traveled in first 3 hours = 50 km

Distance traveled in last one hour = 10 km

Total time taken, t = 3 hours + 1 hour = 4 hours

Total distance traveled = 50 km + 10 km = 60 km

The average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance traveled to the total time taken.

$Average speed = \frac{total distance traveled }{total time taken}$

$Average speed = \frac{60}{4}$

Average speed = 15 km/h

Thus, the average speed of the bike riders for the entire trip is 15 km/h.

The average speed for the entire journey will be given by:
average speed=(total distance)/(total time)
total distance=50+10=60 km
total time=4 hours
thus
average speed=60/4=15 km/hr

Answer:

- 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we want to do here is simplify the expression -

$\frac{3}{5}$ ( 2x + 5 ) - 2x, Distribute the " $\frac{3}{5}$ " to elements within the parenthesis

= $\frac{3}{5}$ $*$ 2x + $\frac{3}{5}$ $*$ 5 - 2x, Focus on simplifying the expression " $\frac{3}{5}$ $*$ 2x + $\frac{3}{5}$ $*$ 5 "

= $2\cdot \frac{3}{5}x+5\cdot \frac{3}{5}$ - 2x

= $\frac{6x}{5}+3$ - 2x, Combine fractions

= $-\frac{4x}{5}$ + 3

= $-\frac{4}{5}$ x + 3

So we have our simplified expression " $-\frac{4}{5}$ x + 3, " with $-\frac{4}{5}$ being the coefficient of x. Our requirements are that this fraction should be expressed as a decimal, so we can simply divide the numerator by the denominator to figure that out,

- 4 / 5 = - 0.8,

Solution = - 0.8
