Answer:

4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed of an object is given by the total distance covered by the time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the total distance covered

t is the time taken

in the first part, the person runs for 0.4 hours at a speed of 7 mph, so the distance covered in the 1st part is

d_1 = v_1 t_1 = (7)(0.4)=2.8 mi

Then the distance covered in the second part is d_2, so the total distance is

d=2.8+d_2 (1)

The total time elapsed is 0.4 hours (first part) + 0.8 hours (second part), so

t=0.4+0.8=1.2 h

So we can write the average speed as

v=\frac{2.8+d_2}{1.2} (1)

We want the average speed to be 5 mph,

v = 5 mph

Therefore we can rearrange eq.(1) to find d2:

d_2 = 1.2v-2.8 = (1.2)(5)-2.8=3.2 mi

And therefore, the speed in the second part must be

v_2=\frac{d_2}{t_2}=\frac{3.2}{0.8}=4 mph

M is between points C and Q. CM=17 and CQ=21. What is MQ?
katrin2010 [14]
Sometimes it helps to draw it out...

     (17)
C_______M_________Q
|___________________|
             21

therefore, CM + MQ = CQ
17 + MQ = 21
MQ = 21 - 17
MQ = 4 <===
