A cyclist travels at 20 kilometers per hour when cycling uphill, 24 kilometers per hour when cycling on flat ground, and 30 kilo

meters per hour when cycling downhill. On a sunny day, they cycle the hilly road from Aopslandia to Beast Island before turning around and cycling back to Aopslandia. What was their average speed during the entire round trip?

Answer:

Their average speed during the entire round trip = 24 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine:

What was their average speed during the entire round trip?

Information Fetching and Solution Steps:

  • A cyclist travels at 20 kilometers per hour when cycling uphill
  • 24 kilometers per hour when cycling on flat ground
  • 30 kilometers per hour when cycling downhill

On a sunny day, they cycle the hilly road from Aopslandia to Beast Island before turning around and cycling back to Aopslandia.

Let us assume that that the road is uphill one way and downhill the other way

As we know that the formula of average speed

Average\:speed=\:\frac{Total\:Distance\:\:Covered}{Total\:Time\:taken\:to\:cover\:the\:distance}\:\:

  • As\:they\:do\:an\:out\:and\:back\:trip

The\:up\:and\:down\:portions\:reverse\:and\:the\:flat\:remains\:the\:same

On the way out:

Say              

60\:miles\:up\:hill=\:3\:hours

flat\:48=\:2\:hrs

down\:120=4\:hrs

on the way back:

up\:120\:=\:6\:hrs

flat\:48=\:2\ hrs

down\:60=\:2\:hrs

So,

total\:miles\:=\:456\:miles

total\:time\:=\:19\:hrs\:\:\:

As

Average\:speed=\:\frac{Total\:Distance\:\:Covered}{Total\:Time\:taken\:to\:cover\:the\:distance}\:\:

Therefore,

Average\:speed=\:\frac{456}{19}\:\:\:

                        = 24 miles per hour

Hence, their average speed during the entire round trip = 24 miles per hour

Greg is covering a wall with equal-sized tiles that cannot be cut
Kitty [74]

Answer:

C. 36 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The wall is 66 inches high by 72 inches wide.

The tiles are

a) 9 inch square = 3 by 3

b) 16 inch square = 4 by 4

c) 36 inch square = 6 by 6

d) 64 inch square = 8 by 8

Factors of 66 = 2 x 3 x 11

Factors of 72 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3

Now, we can see that in both 66 and 72 , we have 2 x 3 common that is 6.

And square of 6 is 36.

So, the answer is option C.

S - 10,000 = 3,753<br><br>A. s = 13,573<br><br>B. s = 13,753<br><br>C. s = 10,375
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

B. s = 13753

Step-by-step explanation:

s - 10000 = 3753

To find value of s, add both sides by 10000

s - 10000 = 3753

   +10000    +10000

-----------------------------------

s = 13753

Which of the following is the same as 1.207 x 107?
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

C. Or the third option

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply something by a power of ten the decimal moves either left or right by the exponent. That probably sounds really confusing but here are some examples. If you multiply a number by 10^4 the decimal will move right 4 places making the number larger. Meanwhile if you multiplied it by 10^-4  it will move to the left 4 places making the number smaller. In your case, when you multiply 1.207 by 10^7, the decimal moves  places to the right which makes it 12,070,000

Help me with this please!
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Area of triangle = 20√2

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula:

Area of triangle = bh/2

b - base  of triangle

h - height of triangle

<u>Distance formula</u>

d = √(x₂ - x₁)² +(y₂ - y₁)²

From the figure we can see that, the given triangle is right angled triangle.

Base = AC and Height = AB

<u>To find AB and AC</u>

A(1,3), B(4,7) and C(9, -5)

AB =  √(4 - 1)² +(7 - 3)² =  √(3² + 4²) = 5

AC = √(9 - 1)² +(-5 - 3)² =  √(8² + -8²) = 8√2

<u>To find the are of triangle</u>

Area = bh/2 = (5* 8√2)/2 = 20√2

Therefore the area of triangle = 20√2 square units
