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

Hey!

You have to divide the total amount she has by the surface area.

Surface area = 2(wl+hl+hw)

That gives you:

(15 + 18 + 30) \times 2 \\ 63 \times 2 = 126

The surface area is 126 ft. Now divide the total amount she has by the surface area.

1,134 \div 126 = 9

<em>That means she can cover 9 boxes</em>

\framebox{She can cover 9 boxes}

A store owner paid $15 dollars for a book. she marked up the price of the book by 40% to determine it's selling price.
Tcecarenko [31]
A) $15 ÷ 40% =
15×.4= 6
15+6= 21

B) $38 × .25=9.5
38-9.5=28.50

28.50×.06=1.71
28.50+1.17=30.21

I think this is how you do it. would wait for other answers as well to double check.

Answer:

(3.4)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Our equation is f(x)=-2(x-3)^2+4
  • Now there are 2 ways you can do this, I'll show you the shortcut
  • If you have an equation like this, just take the value in parenthesis and equate it to zero
  • x-3=0.x=3 is the x of the vertex
  • Put this back into the equation
  • f(x)=-2(x-3)^2+4\\x=3\\f(3)=-2(3-3)^2+4\\f(3)=-2(0)^2+4=4 this is the y
