Average = 0.56 inches

Solution:

Given data: Total rainfall = 16.8 inches

Total number of days for a month = 30

To find the average of the rainfall.

Formula for average:

$\text {Average}=\frac{\text {Sum of the observations}}{\text {Total number of observations}}$

$\text {Average}=\frac{16.8}{30}$

= 0.56 inches

Average = 0.56 inches

Hence, average of daily rainfall is 0.56 inches.

a train travels 288km at a uniform speed.if the speed has been 4km per hour more it would have taken one hour less for the same

Lostsunrise [7]

Given:

A train travels 288 km at a uniform speed.

If the speed has been 4 km per hour more it would have taken one hour less for the same journey.

To find:

The initial speed of the train.

Solution:

Let x km/h be the initial speed on the train.

New speed of train = (x+4) km/h

We know that,

$Time=\dfrac{Distance}{Speed}$

Time taken by the train initially to cover 288 km is $\dfrac{288}{x}$ hours.

New time taken by the train to cover 288 km is $\dfrac{288}{x+4}$ hours.

It is given that If the speed has been 4 km per hour more it would have taken one hour less for the same journey.

$\dfrac{288}{x}-\dfrac{288}{x+4}=1$

$\dfrac{288(x+4)-288x}{x(x+4)}=1$

$288x+1152-288x=x^2+4x$

$1152=x^2+4x$

$0=x^2+4x-1152$

Splitting the middle term, we get

$x^2+36x-32x-1152=0$

$x(x+36)-32(x+36)=0$

$(x+36)(x-32)=0$

$x=-36,32$

We know that the speed cannot be negative. So, the only possible value of x is 32.

Therefore, the speed of the train is 32 km/h.

Simplify the ratio 300m:2km

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

3m:20m

Step-by-step explanation:

2km to m = 2000

300:2000

(divide both sides by 100)

300/100=3

2000/100=20

A rectangle has a length of 8 and a width of x. Write a variable expression for the perimeter of the rectangle

natta225 [31]

Hi,

Since the perimeter of a rectangle is equal to twice the length plus twice the width, what you want to do here is P = 2(8) + 2(x) = 16 + 2x

Hope this helps! If my answer was not clear enough or you’d like further explanation please let me know. Also, English is not my first language, so I’m sorry for any mistakes.
