In the question, they give you the formula for speed...

speed = distance / time

They also give you the distance and the time, so all we have to do is stick them into the equation...

speed = 3 2/3 Km / 1/3 hour
speed = 3 2/3 / 1/3

To divide the fractions, first we need to convert 3 2/3 into an improper fraction

3 2/3 = 11/3

now we multiply 11/3 x the reciprocal of the divisor 1/3. The reciprocal just means flip the numerator and denominator

speed = 11/3 x 3/1
speed = 33/3
speed = 11 Km/hour

I believe it is 8 because $EF= \frac{AB+CD}{2} = EF= \frac{5+11}{2} =8$

Help please!! someone explain

Well, the answer is 12. This is because you need to add the inverse operation. So for (6x-6) You add 6 or the second number( the one that doesn't have the x in front of it)because it is the opposite/inverse operation.You basically just add 6 and because the opposite of subtraction is addition. You then cross is out because it will equal zero. Then with the 6x, you add 6 as well because what you do to one side, you must do the same to the other. so 6+6=12. SO x=12.
