On a trip, Duke encounters some road construction that slows him down. While he is able to go 60 mph on the highway and 40 mph t

hrough cities, he can only go 20 mph past the construction. He spends one half the time on the highway as he does in construction, so the 380-mile trip takes 11 hours. How much of this time does he spend on the highway, in the city, and through road construction?

Answer:

Time taken by Duke on the highway = 3 hours

Time spent on the construction = 6 hours

Time spent in the city = 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed by which Duke travels a distance on highway d_1 = 60 mph

Let the time taken to travel on highway = t_1 hours

Distance traveled = 60t_1 miles

Speed in the city = 40 mph

Let the time taken = t_2 hours

Distance traveled in the city = 40t_2 miles

Speed on the construction = 20 mph

Let the time spend on the construction = t_3 hours

Distance traveled on the construction = 20t_3 miles

Since, total distance covered = 380 miles

d_1+d_2+d_3=60t_1+40t_2+20t_3

He spends one half the time on the highway as he does on the construction,

t_3=2t_1

Total time spent in the trip = 11 hours

Therefore, t_1+t_2+t_3=11

t_1+t_2+2t_1=11

t_2=11-3t_1

From equation (1),

60t_1+40(11-3t_1)+20(2t_1)=380

60t_1-120t_1+40t_1+440=380

440-20t_1=380

20t_1=440-380

t_1=\frac{60}{20}

t_1=3 hours

t_2=11-3t_1=2 hours

t_3=2t_1=6 hours

Therefore, time taken by Duke on the highway = 3 hours

Time spent on the construction = 6 hours

Time spent in the city = 2 hours

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

The survey results will be inaccurate since the entire sample of the population was eating at the same restaurant.

Step-by-step explanation:

When doing a survey you must make sure it is unbiased by asking a variety of people for example if you are wondering what is the favorite class at school you have to ask a certain amount of people from each class because if you ask only people from P.E the answer more than likely will be P.E or if u ask 3 people from Art and 17 from P.E your answer will properly be P.E. Make sense?
