Answer:

33 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Trip to airport:</em>

distance = d1

speed = s1 = 55 mph

time = t1

distance = d2

speed = s2 = 45 mph

time = t2

We are told the same route was used for both trips, so

d1 = d2

The total time was 1 hr 20 min = 1 hr + 20/60 hr = 4/3 hr.

t1 + t2 = 4/3

t2 = 4/3 - t1

speed = distance/time

distance = speed * time

d1 = s1 * t1

d2 = s2 * t2

d1 = d2, so

s1 * t1 = s2 * t2

t2 = 4/3 - t1; s1 = 55; s2 = 45

55 * t1 = 45(4/3 - t1)

55t1 = 60 - 45t1

100t1 = 60

t1 = 0.6

The time to get the the airport was 0.6 hr. Now we find the distance.

d1 = s1 * t1

d1 = 55 * 0.6

d1 = 33

The distance is 33 miles.

What point on the graph of y = 0.5f(x) corresponds to (4, 16)? Explain.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

We are given a coordinate (4,16).

Where first coordinate is the value of x and second coordinate is the value of y for the function y=f(x).

We need to find the value of given point (4,16) for function y= 0.5f(x).

Here function f(x) is being multiplied by 0.5.

On multiplying 0.5 by y, it will effect the value of y only. It does not effect value of x . Because x value is still x. Only function f(x) is being multiplied by 0.5.

Therefore, y= 0.5f(4) = 0.5 * 16 = 8.

So, (4,8) is the point on the graph of y = 0.5f(x) corresponds to (4, 16).

Vince made a scale drawing of the middle school. He used the scale 5 inches : 8 feet. If the gym is 45 inches wide in the drawin

mrs_skeptik [129]

Scale drawings are used to show an actual image using lesser dimensions.

The width of the actual gym is 72 feet

The scale is given as:

$Scale = 5\ inches : 8\ feet$

Represent the width of the actual gym with w, so, we have the following equivalent ratio

$45\ inches : w = 5\ inches : 8\ feet$

Cancel out the common units

$45: w = 5: 8\ feet$

Express as fraction

$\frac{45}{w} = \frac{5}{8\ feet}$

Cross multiply

$5w = 45 \times 8\ feet$

Divide both sides by 5

$w = 9\times 8\ feet$

$w = 72\ feet$

Hence, the width of the actual gym is 72 feet
