3 1/2 miles = 7/2 miles
1/2 hours= 30 minutes
So,
In 30 mins, travelled 7/2 miles
In 1 min, travelled 7/2 ÷ 30= 7/2× 1/30 = (7×1)/(2×30) = 7/60 miles
In 60 mins, travelled (7×60)/60 miles = 420/60 miles = 7 miles.
Hence, the speed is 7 miles per hour.

Answer:

Doug's average speed is 7 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average speed is defined as ratio of total distance to the total time taken to cover the total distance.

Distance covered by Doug ,D=3\frac{1}{2} miles=\frac{7}{2} miles

Time taken to cover the distance D = T= \frac{1}{2} hour

Average speed :

=\frac{D}{T}=\frac{\frac{7}{2} miles}{\frac{1}{2} hour}=7 miles/hour

Doug's average speed is 7 miles per hour.

A rope is 56 in length and must be cut into two pieces. If one piece must be six times as long as the other, find the length of
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

8 inches

48 inches

total 56 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

x+6x = 56

7x = 56

Divide by 7

7x/7 = 56/7

x = 8

The smaller piece is x inches or 8 inches

The larger piece is 6x inches or 6*8 =48 inches

8+48 = 56 inches

The total length is 56 inches

A florist can make a grand arrangement in 18 minutes or a simple arrangement in 10 minutes. The florist makes at least twice as
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of simple arrangements and y be the number of grand arrangements.

1. The florist makes at least twice as many of the simple arrangements as the grand arrangements, so

x\ge 2y

2. A florist can make a grand arrangement in 18 minutes =\dfrac{3}{10} hour, then he can make y arrangements in \dfrac{3}{10}y hours.

A florist can make  a simple arrangement in 10 minutes =\dfrac{1}{6} hour, so he can make x arrangements in \dfrac{1}{6}x hours.

The florist can work only 40 hours per week, then

\dfrac{3}{10}y+\dfrac{1}{6}x\le 40

3. The profit on the simple arrangement is $10, then the profit on x simple arrangements is $10x.

The profit on the grand arrangement is $25, then the profit on y grand arrangements is $25y.

Total profit: $(10x+25y)

Plot first two inequalities and find the point where the profit is maximum. This point is point of intersection of lines x=2y and \dfrac{3}{10}y+\dfrac{1}{6}x=40

But this point has not integer coordinates. The nearest point with two integer coordinates is (126,63), then the maximum profit is

\$(10\cdot 126+25\cdot 63)=\$2,835

Let the reduced price be x

If he paid for 6 rounds, he paid 1 round at full price of $19 and 5 rounds at reduced price:
19 + 5x = 59
5x = 59 - 19
5x = 40
x = 40 ÷ 5 
x = 8

The reduced price is at $8 per round.
