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

A TV that usually sells for $178.09 is on sale for 30% off. If sales tax on the TV is 5%, what is the price of the TV, including
marusya05 [52]
178.09 \times \frac{70}{100}\times \frac{105}{100} = \frac{178.09 \times 70 \times 105}{100\times 100} = \frac{1308961.5}{10000} = 130.89615 \approx \boxed{130.90}

Your answer is $130.90

Note: We multiply by 70/100 because of the 30% discount. 100 - 30 = 70. So we have to multiply by 70%.

Also, we multiply by 105/100 because there is 5% tax. The tax means that we have to pay more which means 100 + 5 = 105.

Hope this helped :D

So the graph shows the cost of the phone call on the y-axis and the length of the phone call on the x-axis.
The question ask is what is the least expensive per minute.
So your equation is cost/time.
Then you plug in the values of each point.
w=$1.25/2 minutes
x=$2/5 minutes
y=$2/10 minutes
z=$2.50/10.5 minutes
Solve each question-
w=0.63 (rounded)
x=0.4
y= 0.2
z=0.24 (rounded)
These values show the cost per minute of each point. So, in order the answer the question which one cost the least per minute you would select the lowest value answer from the question of each point. Which would be y.
