Adding, subtracting, and multiplying fractions are pretty easy depending on the level of knowledge. Other easy equations could be inverse operations.
Answer:
30 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find the distance travelled in the first 1h30m.
We can do that multiplying the speed by the time travelled, so we have:
Distance1 = 50 * 1.5 = 75 miles
If the total distance is 120 miles, Michael still needs to travel 120 - 75 = 45 miles.
And if the total time travelled is 3 hours (10 AM - 7 AM), the second part of the travel has a duration of 3h - 1.5h = 1.5h
So if the distance is 45 miles and the time is 1.5 hours, we can find the speed of the second part:
45 = speed * 1.5
speed = 45/1.5 = 30 mph
They should ideally be the same. However, the difference is that the theoretical probability is what is expected to happen while the experimental probability is what happens in the actual scenario. The computation for both would be the same, and they should ideally be the same, unless other factors in an experiment would confound it.
