A student drives 4.8-km trip to school and averages a speed of 22.6 m/s. on the return trip home, the student travels with an av

erage speed of 16.8 m/s over the same distance. what is the average speed (in m/s) of the student for the two-way trip? (be careful.)

In this case, we cannot simply take the average speed by adding the two speeds and divide by two.

What we have to do is to calculate the time required going to school and the return trip home.

We know that to calculate time, we use the formula:

t = d / v

where,

d = distance = 4.8 km = 4800 m

v = velocity

 

Let us say that the variables related to the trip going to school is associated with 1, and the return trip home is 2. So,

 

t1 = 4800 m / (22.6 m / s)

t1 = 212.39 s

 

t2 = 4800 / (16.8 m / s)

t2 = 285.71 s

 

total time, t = t1 + t2

t = 498.1 s

 

Therefore the total average velocity is:

= (4800 m + 4800 m) / 498.1 s

= 19.27 m / s = 19.3 m / s

 

Answer:

19.3 m/s

Answer: 19.3 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Distance between home and school = 4.8 km= 4800 meters

(∵ 1 km= 1000 meters)

Formula to calculate time :

\text{Time} =\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}

From home to school ,

Distance= 4800 m

Speed = 22.6 m/s.

\text{Time} =\dfrac{4800}{22.6}=\dfrac{24000}{113}\ sec

From school to home ,

Distance= 4800 m

Speed = 16.8 m/s.

\text{Time} =\dfrac{4800}{16.8}=\dfrac{12000}{41}\ sec

Now, the average speed (in m/s) of the student for the two-way trip is given by :-

\dfrac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total time}}\\\\=\dfrac{4800+4800}{\dfrac{24000}{113}+\dfrac{12000}{14}}\\\\=\dfrac{9600}{498.10}\approx19.3\ m/s

Hence, the average speed (in m/s) of the student for the two-way trip= 19.3 m/s .

At the movie theatre, child admission is $6.30 and adult admission is $9.90 . On Monday, 159 tickets were sold for a total sales
frez [133]
C = child tickets
a = adult tickets

Solve this with the substitution method.
Make two equations:

6.30c + 9.90a = 1,246.50
c + a = 159

Solve for c.
Subtract 9.90a from both sides.

6.30c = 1,246.50 - 9.90a
Divide both sides by 6.30.

c = 197.86 - <span>1.57a (rounded to hundredths)
Plug c into second equation.

</span>197.86 - 1.57a + a = 159
Combine like terms.

197.86 - 0.57a = 159
Subtract 197.86 from both sides.

-0.57a = -38.86
Divide both sides by -0.57.

a = <span>68.18
round up to ones: 68

</span>\boxed {68~adult~tickets} were sold.<span>

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The percent of the increase for the money the class raised is 10 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Because if you divide 1500 by 10 you get 150 that means 150 is 10 % of 1500 and if you add 150 to 1500 you get 1650 so the increase of money the class raised is 10 %

I hope this helped :)
