3 and 1/2=3 and 2/4
3 and 2/4-9 and 3/4=3-9+2/4-3/4=-6-1/4=-6 and 1/4
now
divide by -2 and 1/2
negative divided by negative is positive
also
dividingn fractions, invert secondn one and multiply them
(a/b)/(c/d)=(a/b)(d/c)=(ad)/(bc)
so
convert to improper
6 and 1/4=6+1/4=24/4+1/4=25/4
2 and 1/2=2+1/2=4/2+1/2=5/2

(25/4)/(5/2)=(25/4)(2/5)=50/20=5/2=2.5

On a trip, a motorist drove 150 miles in the morning and 50 miles in the afternoon. His average rate in the morning was twice hi
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Morning's average rate = 50 mph, and Afternoon's average rate = 25 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose he drove 150 miles for X hours, then his average rate in the morning was (150/X) mph.

Given that he spent 5 hours in driving.

And he drove 50 miles for (5-X) hours, then his average rate in the afternoon was 50/(5-X) mph.

Given that his average rate in the morning was twice his average rate in the afternoon.

(150/x) = 2 * 50/(5-x)

150/x = 100/(5-x)

Cross multiplying terms, we get:-

150*(5-x) = 100*x

750 - 150x = 100x

750 = 100x + 150x

750 = 250x

x = 750/250 = 3.

It means he spent 3 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon.

So morning's average rate = 150/3 = 50 mph.

and afternoon's average rate = 50/(5-3) = 25 mph.
