Sandra normally takes 2 hours to drive from her house to her grandparents' house driving her usual speed. However, on one partic

ular trip, after 40% of the drive, she had to reduce her speed by 30 miles per hour, driving at this slower speed for the rest of the trip. This particular trip took her 228 minutes. What is her usual driving speed, in miles per hour?

Answer:

Her usual driving speed is 38 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

s = \frac{d}{t}

In which s is the speed, in miles per hour, d is the distance, in miles, and t is the time, in hours.

We have that:

At speed s, she takes two hours to drive. So

s = \frac{d}{2}

d = 2s

However, on one particular trip, after 40% of the drive, she had to reduce her speed by 30 miles per hour, driving at this slower speed for the rest of the trip. This particular trip took her 228 minutes.

228 minutes is 3.8 hours. So

0.4s + 0.6(s - 30) = \frac{d}{3.8}

So

3.8(0.4s + 0.6s - 18) = d

3.8s - 68.4 = 2s

1.8s = 68.4

s = 38

Her usual driving speed is 38 miles per hour.

How do you solve the math equation
GalinKa [24]
First of its y-y1 = m(x-x1)
m is the slope, what it is increasing by. 
y1 is the y intercept of your pair. 
X1 is the x intercept of your coordinate pair, plug them in. If you dont know slope the formula to find it is:
y2-y1/x2-x1

Find the length of CA to the nearest tenth of a foot
hoa [83]

Answer:

CA ≈ 3.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan40° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{BC}{CA} = \frac{2.6}{CA} ( multiply both sides by CA )

CA × tan40° = 2.6 ( divide both sides by tan40° )

CA = \frac{2.6}{tan40} ≈ 3.1 ft ( to the nearest tenth )
