To find the rate in miles per hour, divide the miles by the hours.

(1 1/2 miles)/(3/5 hour) =

= 3/2 miles * (5/3 hour)

= 5/2 mph

= 2 1/2 mph

Her walking rate is 2 1/2 mph.

(4 1/2 miles) / ( 2 1/2 mph) =

= 9/2 miles / (5/2 mph)

= 9/2 * 2/5 hours

= 9/5 hours

= 1 4/5 hours

From 9:00 a.m. to 11 a.m., she has 2 hours, but she only needs 1 4/5 hours to walk, so she will make it to work on time.

Tourists covered 640 km for a 4 hour ride by car and a 7 hour ride by train. What is the speed of the train, if it is 5 km/h gre
gavmur [86]

Answer:

60 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use the x to represent the speed of the car since it is the smaller value.

Then, the distance covered by the car is 4x since was going 4 kph.

The distance covered by the train is (x+5) times 7 or 7x+35.

We know that the total distance covered is 640 km.

Using this information, we can set up the equation 4x+7x+35=640.

By subtracting both sides by 35 and combining the x's, we get a new equation of 11x=605.

After this, we divide both sides by 11 and get x=55.

Lastly, we add 5 to 55 since the train is 5 km faster than the car and that x stood for the car.

Train=60 km/h
