Answer:

The average rate in miles per hour is 8 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are concerned with finding what Marco’s average rate is, if he cycles 20 miles in 2 1/2 hours

For calculation simplification, we should know that 2 1/2 hours is same as 2.5 hours

Now mathematically, the average speed = Distance/Time

Thus, our disgrace here is 20 miles and our time taken to cover this distance is 2.5 hours

Thus, the average speed = 20/2.5 = 8 miles/hour

Jose asks his friends to guess the higher of two grades he received on his math tests. He gives them two hints. The difference o

Answer : 96

x – y = 16 --------> equation 1

$\frac{1}{8} x +\frac{1}{2} y = 52$

x is the higher grade and y is the lower grade

We solve the first equation for y

x - y = 16

-y = 16 -x ( divide each term by -1)

y = -16 + x

Now substitute y in second equation

$\frac{1}{8} x +\frac{1}{2} ( -16 + x ) = 52$

$\frac{1}{8} x - 8 + \frac{1}{2} x = 52$

$\frac{1}{8} x + \frac{1}{2} x - 8 = 52$

Take common denominator to combine fractions

$\frac{1}{8} x + \frac{4}{8} x -8 = 52$

$\frac{5}{8} x - 8 = 52$

Add 8 on both sides

$\frac{5}{8} x = 60$

Multiply both sides by $\frac{8}{5}$

x = 96

We know x is the higher grade

96 is the higher grade of Jose’s two tests.
