Answer:

12 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the ratio of distance travelled to the time used.

The total distance covered = (5 + 13) miles

= 18 miles

The whole journey took 1 hour + 30 minutes = 1.5 hours

Average rate of speed = $\frac{total distance covered}{total time taken}$

= $\frac{18 miles}{1.5 hours}$

= 12 miles per hour

Therefore, her average rate of speed is 12 miles per hour.

Her average speed was 12 miles per hour. Total distance over total time.

Elodia [21]

Answer: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, we use the formula $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ . With the given points, we can directly plug them in and solve.

$m=\frac{10-2}{5-1} =\frac{8}{4}=2$

Now, we know that the slope is 2.

The explorer's running velocity will be 1/3 the velocity of the train, 45/3 = 15. From those issue statement, the train will a chance to be at the begin of the span The point when those voyagers have run 1/3 of the period of the span. In they run of the much end of the bridge, they will bring run 1/3 of the length of the span when those prepare achieves the close to wind. Beginning starting with those 1/3 point, they will make toward those 2/3 perspective At those prepare achieves those span. The prepare will travel the full period of the span in the the long haul it takes those voyagers to run those remaining 1/3. Accordingly the train must travel toward three times the running speed of the voyager. Train = 45 mph, voyagers = 15 mph. The speed of P&D = 15 mph

Answer:

$- \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{8} y \\ \\ y = - \frac{1}{2} \div \frac{3}{8} \\ \\ y = - \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{8}{3} \\ \\ y = - \frac{4}{3}$
