I know a Moderator has already answered but I would like to offer a second opinion in the way I would do it with the same result.

If it's Mean/Average (same thing in most cases) then all you have to do is divide 40 by 5 giving you 8 feet per second.

Average speed = total distance/total time

Plug 40 feet in for total distance and 5 seconds in for total time. Divide 40 feet by 5 seconds to find the average speed.

average speed = 40 feet/5 seconds

Divide 40 feet and 5 seconds by 5.

average speed = 8 feet/1 second

Your answer is 8 feet per second.

Tom and his friend are driving to Tameka is taking the same 432-mile round trip as Tom to Louisville, but renting a car at a spe

timurjin [86]

Answer: The correct answer is $ 134.42 for the gas and the rental.

Step-by-step explanation: The trip is 432 miles and Tameka's car gets 35 miles to the gallon. So we have to figure out how many gallons we would use for the entire trip by dividing 432 by 35= 12.34 gallons of gas.

We know gas is $2.79 a gallon so we multiply 2.79 (cost per gallon) x 12.34 ( our total gallons used) =$34.43 in gasoline.

The rental costs $99.99 so we add that cost and the cost of the gas $34.43= $134.42 the total cost of the rental and the gas.
