Average speed for the entire trip, both ways, is
(Total distance) divided by (total time) .
We don't know the distance from his house to the gift store,
and we don't know how long it took him to get back.
We'll need to calculate these.
-- On the trip TO the store, it took him 50 minutes, at 6 mph.
-- 50 minutes is 5/6 of an hour.
-- Traveling at 6 mph for 5/6 of an hour, he covered 5 miles.
-- The gift store is 5 miles from his house.
-- The total trip both ways was 10 miles.
-- On the way BACK home from the store, he moved at 12 mph.
-- Going 5 miles at 12 mph, it takes (5/12 hour) = 25 minutes.
Now we have everything we need.
Distance:
Going: 5 miles
Returning: 5 miles
Total 10 miles
Time:
Going: 50 minutes
Returning: 25 minutes
Total: 75 minutes = 1.25 hours
Average speed for the whole trip =
(total distance) / (total time)
= (10 miles) / (1.25 hours)
= (10 / 1.25) miles/hours
= 8 miles per hour
Answer:
1) x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
1) x + 7 + x + 11 = 14
2x + 18 = 14
2x = 14 - 18
2x = -4
x = -4/2 = -2
3 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the number of weeks, we have to equate the amount already saved and planned to save by both each week.
So we can write the expression as,
Let w be the number of weeks.
25 + 5w =16 + 8w
Grouping the terms as,
25 - 16 = 8w - 5w
9 = 3w
Dividing both sides by 3, we will get,
3w/3 = 9/3
w = 3
So number of weeks = 3
Answer:
7 gal 3 qt is 31 quarts.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
7 gal 3 qt to quarts.
Now, convert the measurement as indicated.
So, the value of 1 gallon = 4 quarts.
Thus , the 7 gal(gallons) = 7 × 4 = 28 quarts.
And 3 qt (quarts) = 3 × 1 = 3 quarts.
So,
Therefore, 7 gal 3 qt is 31 quarts.
