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

A little girl kicks a soccer ball. It goes 10 feet and comes back to her. How is this possible?
Elanso [62]

She is standing in front of a wall which is 10 feet away when she kicks the ball and it hits the wall and comes back to her by the virtue of Newton's third Law of motion! She kicks the ball into the air vertically above her and the ball rises to 10 feet and then comes back to her by the virtue of gravity!
