Answer:

Option C. 40(1.25 - t)

Step-by-step explanation:

Eduardo's average speed on his commute to work = 55 miles per hour

On the way home his average speed was = 40 miles per hour

Round trip took him 1.25 hours.

Let t be the total time taken by Eduardo for the trip to work.

Then time taken on the way home = Total time for round trip - Time taken from work to home

                                                          = (1.25 - t) hours

Average speed = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}

40 = \frac{\text{Distance}}{(1.25-t)}

Now the distance for his trip home can be represented by

Distance = 40(1.25 - t)

Option C. 40(1.25 - t) will be he answer.

Answer:

40(1.25-t)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 components to consider; time, speed and distance

Time and Speed are given.

The distance has to be calculated.

  • Speed to work = 55 miles per hour
  • Time to work = 1.25-T
  • Speed to home = 40 miles per hour
  • Time to home = 1.25-t
  • Total Time = T + t = 1.25

<u>Distance for trip to home</u>

Speed = Distance/Time

40 = Total Distance/1.25-t

Total Distance = 40(1.25-t)

<em>Therefore, 40(1.25-t) is the correct answer.</em>

Gasoline mileage of a car is 40 mph. On a smooth road, it’s milage is 5% higher. What is it’s milea on a smooth road?
scZoUnD [109]

It helps to think of a simpler problem. Let's say mpg is 20 and 10% higher on a smooth road.

How many miles will you get with one gallon on a regular road?

How many more miles will you get on a smooth road? 10% more, right? How much is that?

OK - so you've now solved a simpler problem. Use the exact some process to solve your, more complicated, problem.
