Let x mph be the speed for the 110 miles trip. Then for 80 miles,
Speed = (x-20) mph

Time, t = Distance/Speed
On 110 miles, t1 = 110/x hrs
On 80 miles, t2 = 80/(x-20) hrs

Total time = 4 hrs = t1+t2 = 110/x + 80/(x-20)

Solving for x;
4 = [110(x-20) + 80(x)]/x(x-20)
4(x)(x-20) = 110x -2200 + 80x
4x^2 - 80x = 110x - 2200 + 80x
4x^2 -80x -110x  - 80x +2200 = 0
4x^2 -270x +2200 = 0
Solving the quadratic equation;
x = [-(-270)+/- Sqrt ((-270)^2 -4(4)(2200)]/2*4 = 33.75+/- 24.27 = 9.48 mph or 58.02 mph

Ignore the value smaller than 20 as this would yield a negative value of second speed which is not practical.

Therefore, speed in the first 110 miles is 58.02 mph

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lateral surface area of the triangular prism = Perimeter of the triangular base × Height

By applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC,

AC² = AB² + BC²

(34)² = (16)² + BC²

BC = \sqrt{1156-256}

     = \sqrt{900}

     = 30 in.

Perimeter of the triangular base = AB + BC + AC

                                                      = 16 + 30 + 34

                                                      = 80 in

Lateral surface area = 80 × 22

                                  = 1760 in²

Total Surface area = Lateral surface area + 2(Surface area of the triangular base)

Surface area of the triangular base = \frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})

                                                           = \frac{1}{2}(30)(16)

                                                           = 240 in²

Total surface area = 1760 + 2(240)

                               = 1760 + 480

                               = 2240 in²

Volume = Area of the triangular base × Height

             = 240 × 20

             = 4800 in³

A radio station requires DJs to play 2 commercials for every 10 songs they play.What is the unit rate of songs to commercial?
slavikrds [6]
The correct answer for this question is that the unit rate is 5:1. We can work this out by simplifying down the 2 commercials to every 10 songs ration, so that 10:2 becomes 5:1. We can work this out by halving the original ratio to simplify it.
