A) time = distance/speed
For the first half of the trip, the time used was
.. (1 mi)/(12 mi/h) = (1/12) h = 5 minutes
Then the last half of the trip took 10 minutes, 1/6 hour.
.. speed = distance/time
.. = (1 mi)/(1/6 h) = 6 mi/h

The speed for the last half of the trip was 6 mph.


b) The average speed was
.. (2 mi)/(1/4 h) = 8 mi/h

Ling's average speed was 8 mph.

Estimate the sum 8/10 + 1/9
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

41/45

Step by Step Explanation:

Add: 8/

10

+ 1/

9

= 8 · 9/

10 · 9

+ 1 · 10/

9 · 10

= 72/

90

+ 10/

90

= 72 + 10/

90

= 82/

90

= 2 · 41/

2 · 45

= 41/

45

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(10, 9) = 90. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 10 × 9 = 90. In the following intermediate step, cancel by a common factor of 2 gives 41/

45

.

In other words - eight tenths plus one ninth = forty-one forty-fifths.
