We must look at this question in steps
The first half of the journey is travelled at 40 km/h
Half of 100km is 50 km
Using the formula
Distance = Speed x Time
Speed = Distance / Time
Time = Distance / Speed
We can work out the time:

50km / 40km/h = 1.25 hours

Next we look at the second half of the journey
50km at 80km/h
50km / 80km/h = 0.625 hours

Add together both times to work out how long the entire journey took
1.25 + 0.625 = 1.875 hours

Using the Speed formula from before
Speed = 100km / 1.875 =
53 1/3 km/h or 53.3 recurring km/h

The primeter of a rectangle is 53 meters. The length is 2.3 meters longer than the width, w. Write and solve an equation to ind
lys-0071 [83]

The perimeter is the total of adding all of the sides together. A rectangle has 2 lengths and 2 widths. The equation would be:

P = 2l + 2w or P = l + l + w + w

Since you know the perimeter, you can plug it into the equation

53 = 2l + 2w

You can divide the 2 on both sides

26.5 = l + w

l = w + 2.3 because the length is 2.3 meters longer/more than the width. You can substitute (w + 2.3) for "l" in the equation. So instead of:

26.5 = l + w

It will be:

26.5 = (w + 2.3) + w

26.5 = w + 2.3 + w

Subtract 2.3 on both sides

24.3 = w + w

24.3 = 2w

Divide 2 on both sides

12.1 = w

The width is 12.1 meters

6 students want lemonade and 12 students
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

2:1

Step-by-step explanation:

well we show ratio by the sign ' : '

ratio of iced tea to lemonade= 12:6

now we reduce it to minimum by dividing it with same number.

12 is divisible by 6

so,

the reduced form is = 2:1

therefore,

ratio of the  number of students who want iced tea to the  number of students who want lemonade = 2:1.
