Answer:

average speed = 53.1818181818

Step-by-step explanation:

The journey from Boston to New York  and New York to Boston covers the same distance. Therefore let the distance be x.

Boston to New York

speed = distance / time

45 = x/time

time = x/45

New York to Boston

speed = distance / time

time = x/65

total time for the journey =  x/45 + x/65 = (13x + 9x)/585 = 22x/585

total distance = 2x

average speed = total distance/total time

average speed = 2x  ×  585/22x

average speed = 585/11

average speed = 53.1818181818

Luden [163]
Check the picture below.

notice the composite is just,

a 5x2 rectangle.

a triangle(yellow) with a base of 2 and a height of 2.

a triangle(red) with a base of 6 and a height of 4.

get the area of each, sum them up, and that's the area of the composite.

A family has an annual income of ​$30,600 Of​ this, 1/4 is spent for​ food, 1/5 for​ housing, 1/10 for​ clothing, 1/9 for​ savin
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

$6,120

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5 (one-fifth) of the family's annual income ($30,600) is spent on housing- as the word problem states.

You have to find 1/5 (one-fifth) of* $30,600.

Write it out as an equation.

\frac{1}{5}  \times 30600

*The <em>of</em><em> </em>in the word equation (1/5 of 30600) simply means multiplication.

Answer:

2 and a half @ 2.5 inches (sorry i can't type the fraction)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • english is my second language so sorry if you doesn't understand:

(1/2, 1/4)=(x,y)

based on the graph shown that each grid on the y axis represents 1/4, that is the smallest scale stood in the y axis.

this means 2 grid= 1/4 x 2 = 1/2 @ 0.5 inches.

since the '5 months-hair-length' is above about 2 grid above 2 inch:

2 inch + 0.5 inch= 2.5 inch
