A train needs 4 hours to go from the first station to the second and the total travel time must be no more than 7 hours, then the train needs at most 3 hours to go from the second station to the third station.

The average speed can be obtained by the formula:

V_{\text{average}}=\dfrac{\text{total distance}}{\text{total time}}.

Let V be the train speed between first and second stations, then the distance between the first and the second stations is 4V miles.

Therefore,

  • the total distance is 4V+120 (V>0);
  • the total time is T≤7 hours.

Now

V_{\text{average}}=\dfrac{\text{4V+120}}{\text{T}}, \text{ where } T\le 7, V>0.

The slowest average speed will be when nominator is the smallest and denominator is the greatest. The greatest denominator could be T=7, then

V_{\text{average}}=\dfrac{\text{4V+120}}{7}=\dfrac{4V}{7}+17.14> 17.14

Please Help 6th Grade Math! Box Plots! 2 questions (Image attached)​
tangare [24]

Answer:

First answer is 14

Second answer is 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Median is the middle ( 1 2 3 4 5 the median would be 3)

You start at 2 and end at 27

List all the numbers from 2 to 27 and come from both ends until you get to the middle number(s)

In this case there are two 14 & 15

14+15=29 29÷2=14.5

Since there are no decimal answers you are left with 14

Range you take the two end numbers and subtract them (27 & 2)

27-2=25

Hopefully this helps!

Chris and Evan are selling bags of popcorn to raise money for a club at school. Chris started with 10 bags and he sells 4 bags e
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

C. 1 day

Step-by-step explanation:

Chris:

10 - 4d

Evan:

8 - 2d

How many days will it take before they both have the same number of bags remaining?

Equate both expressions and solve

10 - 4d = 8 - 2d

Collect like terms

10 - 8 = -2d + 4d

2 = 2d

Divide both sides by 2

d = 2/2

= 1

d = 1 day

It will take 1 day before they both have the same number of bags remaining
