Time taken by Julian to complete 24 km trip to Guelph at 12 km/h =
hours
Time taken by Julian for return trip at 8 km/h =
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 =
The answer is 9.6 km/hour.
The answer is D. Paying off lowest interest rate debt first
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.
You could pick just about anything 3/8 is not the same thing as 5/7 and neither is 3/4
Something that is equivalent would be something like 10/14 or 20/28
