Answer: A. 14 miles each day.


Step-by-step explanation:


Day 1 : 15 miles

Day 2 : 10 miles

Day 3 : 7 miles


15 + 10 + 7 = 32 miles


60 - 32 = 28 miles


2 days left


28/2 = 14


14 is less than 18

There and Back Julian biked a 24 km trip to Guelph. On his way there, his average speed was 12 km/h. On his way home, he stopped
Umnica [9.8K]

Time taken by Julian to complete 24 km trip to Guelph at 12 km/h =

\frac{24}{12}=2 hours

Time taken by Julian for return trip at 8 km/h = \frac{24}{8}=3 hours

As given, the total distance is 24 + 24 = 48 km.

And the total time is 2 + 3 = 5 hrs.

Hence, the average speed for the entire trip is = \frac{48}{5}= 9.6

The answer is 9.6 km/hour.

Ben and Josh went to the roof of their 40-foot tall high school to throw their math books off the edge.
krok68 [10]

Answer:

  • Josh's book lands first
  • Ben's lands about 0.648 seconds later

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given equation for v=60 and s=40, the height of Ben's book is ...

  h(t) = -16t² +60t +40

We want to find t when h(t) = 0, so we're looking for the solution to ....

  0 = -16t² +60t +40

Using the quadratic formula, we find the positive value of t to be ...

  t = (-60 -√(60² -4(-16)(40)))/(2(-16)) = (15 +√385)/8 ≈ 4.3277

__

Similarly, the height of Josh's book is ...

  0 = -16t² +48t +40

  t = (-48 -√(48² -4(-16)(40)))/(2(-16)) = (12 +√304)/8 ≈ 3.6794

__

The time before Josh's book lands is shorter by ...

  4.3277 -3.6794 ≈ 0.6482 . . . . . seconds

Josh's book reaches the ground first, by about 0.648 seconds.
