Gas mileage actually varies slightly with the driving speed of a car​ (as well as with highway vs. city​ driving). Suppose your

car averages 35 miles per gallon on the highway if your average speed is 45 miles per​ hour, and it averages 19 miles per gallon on the highway if your average speed is 72 miles per hour. Answer parts​ (a) and​ (b) below..
(a) What is the driving time for a 2600​-mile trip if you drive at an average speed of 45 miles per​ hour? What is the driving time at 72 miles per​ hour?
(b) Assume a gasoline price of ​$3.05 per gallon. What is the gasoline cost for a 2600​-mile trip if you drive at an average speed of 45 miles per​ hour? What is the gasoline cost at 72 miles per​ hour?

Answer:

a) Traveling at 45 mph, the driving time is 58 h. Traveling at 72 mph, the driving time will be 36 h.

b) Traveling at 45 mph, the gasoline cost will be $225.7.

Traveling at 72 mpg, the gasoline cost will be $417.9

Explanation:

The average speed can be calculated as the distance traveled over time:

speed = distance / time

Then:

time = distance / speed

a)If you drive at an average speed of 45 mph during a 2600-mile trip, the driving time will be:

time = 2600 mi / 45 mi/h = 58 h

If you drive at 72 mph:

time = 2600 mi / 72 mi/h = 36 h  

b) For the 2600-mile trip, you will need ( 2600 mi * (1 gallon/ 35 mi)) 74 gallons if you travel at 45 mph.

If you travel at 72 mph, you will need (2600 mi * (1 gallon /19 mi)) 137 gallons.  

Traveling at 45 mph, the gasoline cost will be (74 gallons * ($3,05/gallon)) $225.7

Traveling at 72 mph, the gasoline cost will be (137 gallons * (3.05/gallon)) $417.9

Two factors that regulate (control) glandular secretion.
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The factors include age and puberty

Explanation:

Glandular secretion release chemicals such as hormones in response to the body’s metabolic needs.

As an individual ages , the metabolic rate of the body also reduces . This is due to the stress and ageing of the cells of the body. This explains why glandular secretion is optimal with young people and Lower in older people. It also explains why the immune system of a young person is mostly stronger than older people.

Puberty is another factor which affects glandular secretion as during puberty there is usually a high amount of hormonal changes due to high levels of secretions of some hormones. These hormones could however inhibit the other glandular secretions.
