Average speed = Distance/ time

Distance = 180 mi

Time = time(final) - time(initial)

To find time will be easier if we translate am and pm into 24 h scale.

am will stay the same, so 10:30 am is 10:30. (initial)

pm will be turned (am time + 12), 3: 00 pm = 3:00 +12 =15:00 (final)

Time = time(final) - time(initial)= 15:00 - 10:30 = 14:60 - 10:30 =4h 30 min

4h + 30 min = 4h + 1/2 h= 4.5 h (time)

Average speed = Distance/ time = 180 mi / 4.5 h = 40 mi/h

Answer is 40 mi/h.

Dan is comparing the cost of having printed and prepared by two companies

Kay [80]

For 4 copies, the total cost for preparing and printing will be the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

p be the number of pages

Company A;

Charges of preparing = $6

Charges of per page print = $2.50

A(p)= 2.50p + 6 Eqn 1

Company B;

Charges of preparing = $4

Charges of per page print = $3

B(p)= 3p + 4 Eqn 2

For equaling the cost;

A(p) = B(p)

$2.50p+6=3p+4\\2.50p-3p=4-6\\-0.50p=-2$

Dividing both sides by -0.50

$\frac{-0.50p}{-0.50}=\frac{-2}{-0.50}\\p=4$

For 4 copies, the total cost for preparing and printing will be the same.
