Answer:

  40 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume "outbound" refers to the trip <em>to the lake</em>. The ratio of speeds is inversely proportional to the ratio of times, so ...

  outbound speed : inbound speed = 4 : 3

These differ by one ratio unit, so that one ratio unit corresponds to the speed difference of 10 mph. Then the 4 ratio units of outbound speed will correspond to ...

  4×10 mph = 40 mph

Paul's average speed on the outbound trip was 40 mph.

___

The distance to the lake was 120 mi.

Answer:Paul's average speed on the outbound trip is 40mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent Paul's outbound trip which is the trip to the lake.

The trip to the lake took 3 hours.

Distance travelled = speed × time

It means that

Distance covered on the trip to the lake would be

3 × x = 3x

the trip back took 4 hours. He averaged 10 mph faster on the trip there than on the return trip. It means that his speed would be

x - 10

Therefore, distance travelled on return trip would be

4(x - 10) = 4x - 40

Since the distance travelled is the same, it means that

3x = 4x - 40

4x - 3x = 40

x = 40

kendrey ran 9 miles in 1 hour and 30 minutes. how long will it take her to run 12 miles at this pace?
castortr0y [4]
Turn hours into minutes

1hr = 60mins

Add the 60mins with 30mins since it’s 1hr and 30 mins. Which will equal 90mins


9miles/ 90minutes

You can simplify
1 mile/ 10 mins
So for 1 mile it takes 10 mins

And the problem is asking how much will it take for her to run 12 miles

Meaning it will take 120 minutes for her to run 12 miles.

Given that point A is the midpoint of line segment ED, where E( -1,9) and A(4,5), what is the location of point D?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

  D(9, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

A being the midpoint means its coordinates satisfy ...

  A = (E + D)/2

Solving for D, we find ...

  D = 2A -E

  = 2(4, 5) -(-1, 9) = (2·4 +1, 2·5 -9)

  D = (9, 1)
