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

You buy 11 bagels with a 20$ bill how m if change do you receive? how many bagels could you buy?
Svetllana [295]
Change you’ll receive is = 0.09
you can only buy 11 because if you divide 20/11 it will give you 1.81 and if you multiply 11x 1.81 it will give you 19.91 which is close to $20 & that’s the most you can buy .

How can I solve this does anyone knows?
Ipatiy [6.2K]
A. C = 17h + 15
b. 83 = 17h + 15 
    -15           - 15  subtract 15 from both sides 
    68 = 17h
    ------------
         17               divide both sides by 17
      4=h  
  They cleaned the house for 4 hours
c. C = 20x
to do this last part, you would put both equations into the calculator under y=, then look at the table to determine when the price is the same. According to the calculator, the price is the same at 5 hours

Klio2033 [76]
Well this is simple all you have to do is subtract 6 dollars from 35 lets do that first
35 - 6 = 29 
so she has 29 dollars to spend on each friend and she only has two....
so lets divide 29 and 2
29/2 = 14.5 
so she can spend $14.50 on each of her friends:)
