Answer:

22.35 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance is always a positive unit, so distance traveled (d) = 15 miles

Time (t) = 0.3 hours

Time (t) = 0.3 * 60 = 18 minutes

(1 hour = 60 minutes)

Velocity (v) = ?

The formula of distance is: d = v*t

=> v = d/t = 15/18 = 0.83 miles/minute

we can also calculate velocity is meter/sec, for that

1 minute = 60 sec

=> 18 mins = 18*60 = 1080 sec

1 mile = 1609.34 meters

=> 15 miles = 15 * 1609.34 = 24,140 m

hence,

v = 24,140/1080 = 22.35 m/s

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you are trying to make x on its own, you are trying to get rid of the co-efficient. The co-efficient is three, so you divide 3 by 3, which would equal one, leaving x on its own. Whatever you do to one side you do to the other, so you would divide 27 by 3 as well.

x = 9

How to solve such time related questions?

The key concept for solving such questions is the relationship between speed, distance and time.

The relationship between them is Distance = Speed x Time

Given:-

Total time taken by girl to complete the trip = 15 minutes = $\frac{1}{4}$ hours
