The average speed can be obtained by the formula:

V_{\text{average}}=\dfrac{\text{total distance}}{\text{total time}}.

If a boat travels 36 miles in 1.5 hours ans then in 14 miles in 0.75 hour, then find:

  • total distance is 36+14=50 miles;
  • total time: 1.5+0.75=2.25 hours.

Therefore,

V_{\text{average}}=\dfrac{50}{2.25}=\dfrac{5000}{225}=\dfrac{200}{9}=22.(2) miles per hour.

Answer: V_{\text{average}}=\dfrac{200}{9}=22.(2) miles per hour.

36 miles in 1.5 hours means x miles in 1 hour. We divided 1.5 hours by 1.5 to get 1 hour, so we have to also divide 36 miles by 1.5 to find the distance travelled in 1 hour:

36 / 1.5 = 24 [miles per hour]

In the second situation:

0.75 hour / 0.75 = 1 hour
14 miles / 0.75 = 18,(6)       (infinite number of 6s - repeating decimal)

So here the boat travelled at the speed of about 18,7 miles per hour.

To find the overall average speed we have to add both speeds and then divide it by 2:

24 + 18,7 = 42,7
42,7 / 2 = 21,35

The average speed of the boat was 21,35 miles per hour.

So I don’t really understand this so yeh pls help *pic included* by the way this is volume of cubes and cuboids and the question
faust18 [17]

Answer:

A2: 4*4*4 = 64 cm³; 6*6*6 = 216 cm³; etc...

B2: 7*4.5*4 = 126 cm³; 10.5*6*2 = 126 cm³; etc...

Step-by-step explanation:

So in A2 you have cubes, so l=b=h, and only one has to be given, called the "length of side".

In B2 they are different, hence there are 3 rows with l, b and h. But still you multiply them l x b x h
