Answer:
45.29 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed is the distance over time. To find the average rate of speed for a trip, we simply need to take the total distance divided by the total time.
Avg. Speed = (188 miles + 197 miles) / (4 hours + 4.5 hours)
Avg. Speed = 45.29 miles per hour
Hence the average rate of speed for the trip was 45.29 miles per hour.
Cheers.

Complete question :
Cheddar Cheese
$3/lb
Swiss Cheese
$5/lb
Keisha is catering a luncheon. She has $30 to spend on a mixture of Cheddar cheese and Swiss cheese. How many pounds of cheese can Keisha get if she buys only Cheddar cheese? Only Swiss cheese? A mixture of both cheeses?
What linear equation in standard form can she use to model the situation?
Answer:
10 lbs of cheddar cheese
6 lbs of Swiss cheese
$3a + $5b = $30
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Cheddar cheese = $3/lb
Swiss cheese = $5/lb
Total amount budgeted for cheese = $30
How many pounds of cheese can Keisha get if she buys only Cheddar cheese?
Pounds of cheedar cheese obtainable with $30
Total budget / cost per pound of cheddar cheese
$30 / 3 = 10 pounds of cheedar cheese
Only Swiss cheese?
Pounds of cheedar cheese obtainable with $30
Total budget / cost per pound of Swiss cheese
$30 / 5 = 6 pounds of Swiss cheese
A mixture of both cheeses?
What linear equation in standard form can she use to model the situation?
Let amount of cheddar cheese she can get = a
Let amount of Swiss cheese she can get = b
Hence,
(Cost per pound of cheddar cheese * number of pounds of cheddar) + (Cost per pound of Swiss cheese * number of pounds of Swiss cheese) = total budgeted amount
(3 * a) + (5 * b) = $30
$3a + $5b = $30
