Please help!!!
1 answer:
Average speed =
Ishan's Speed uphill = 10mph
Time taken = 18 minutes = 18/60 = 3/10 hours
Now distance = rate × time
Distance traveled by Ishaan up hill = 10 × 3/10 = 3 miles
Now returning back home
Distance = 3 miles
Rate = 30 mph
So time taken = distance/ rate = 3/30= 1/10 hours = 1/10 ×60 = 6 minutes.
Now total distance traveled = 3 + 3 = 6 miles
Total time taken = 18 + 6 = 24 minutes = 24/60 = 2/5 hours
Average speed
=
= 15 mph
Ishaan's average speed for the entire trip from home to the gift store and back is 15mph

We are given dimensions of model and actual figure.
model: 9.5cm actual : 30.5m.
We need to find the length of actual shape for the scale factor 5cm.
Let us assume actual length be x m.
Let us set a proportion now.
<h3>5 : x = 9.5 : 30.5</h3>Let us convert proportion into fractions.
On cross multiplying, we get
9.5x = 5× 30.5
9.5x = 152.5.
On dividing both sides by 9.5, we get
x=16.05.
<h3>Therefore, the scale factor for a model is 5cm= 16.05 m.</h3>
