You need to divide the miles by the hours to et the Average speed.
M divided by h = s
Because to get the mph (miles per hour) you multiply the average speed to the hours.
S•h=mph
Equation: 2/5 + p = 4/5 + 3/5p
Simplify Both Sides:
p + 2/5 = 3/5p + 4/5
Subtract 3/5p from both sides:
p + 2/5 - 3/5p = 3/5p + 4/5 - 3/5p
2/5p + 2/5 = 4/5
Subtract 2/5 from both sides:
2/5p + 2/5 - 2/5 = 4/5 - 2/5
2/5p = 2/5
Multiply both sides by 5/2
(5/2) * (2/5p) = (5/2) * (2/5)
p = 1
Answer: p = 1
Hope that helps!!! (Answer: Letter Choice (A), p = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two-digit number is 
<u>This can be written as:</u>
- 10x + y, where 1 ≤ x ≤ 9 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 9
<u>The difference between the number and product of its digits is:</u>
<u>Rewrite this as below:</u>
d = 10x - xy + y - 10 + 10 =
x(10 - y) - (10 - y) + 10 =
(x - 1)(10 - y) + 10
<u>We see that:</u>
- 0 ≤ x - 1 ≤ 8 according to the condition given above
- 1 ≤ 10 - y ≤ 10 again according to the condition given above
<u>The value of d is then:</u>
- 0 + 10 ≤ d ≤ 8*10 + 10
- 10 ≤ d ≤ 90
