The expression which relates the total time taken and the time taken for the trip is [15s + 15(s+2)] / s² + 2s and 2.32 hours respectively.
<em>Travel time = distance ÷ speed </em>
<u>Second half of the trip</u> :
- <em>Distance covered = 15 miles</em>
<u>Time taken for second half of trip</u> :
Time taken = 15 / s
<u>First half of the trip</u> :
- <em>Speed = s + 2 mph </em>
<u>Time taken for first half of trip :</u>
Time taken = 15 / (s+2)
<u>Total time taken :</u>
<em>First half + second half</em>
15/(s+2) + 15/s = [15s + 15(s+2)] / s² + 2s
B)
If s = 12
<em>Substitute s = 12 into the expression</em> :
[15(12) + 15(12+2)] / 12² + 2(12)
[180 + 210] / 144 + 24
390 / 168
= 2.32 hours
Therefore, the total time taken is 2.32 hours.

Rachel bought a collection of buttons.
2/4 of the buttons are yellow. 2/4 * 8 = 1/2 * 8 = 4 yellow buttons
2/8 of the buttons are red. 2/8 * 8 = 1/4 * 8 = 2 red buttons
Therefore, because we know that 4 of the buttons are yellow and 2 of the buttons are red, and we know that 4 > 2, we know that more yellow buttons were bought.
Answer:
3.33 or 3 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 = 0.33
1 / 3 x 22 = 22 / 3
22/3 - 4 = 3.33 or 3 1/3
The truck can cover 145 miles in 2.5 hours, so the speed of the truck is
145÷2.5=58 miles per hour
the car's speed is 1.5 times faster: 58×1.5=87 miles per hour
suppose in x hours they will meet:
distance covered by truck in x hour: 58x
distance covered by car in x hour: 87x
total distance: 145 miles
58x+87x=145
x=1
