Answer: Downhill:10mph Uphill:5mph
Step-by-step explanation:
We are looking for Dennis’s downhill speed.
Let
r=
Dennis’s downhill speed.
His uphill speed is
5
miles per hour slower.
Let
r−5=
Dennis’s uphill speed.
Enter the rates into the chart. The distance is the same in both directions,
20
miles.
Since
D=rt
, we solve for
t
and get
t=
D
r
.
We divide the distance by the rate in each row and place the expression in the time column.

Write a word sentence about the time.
The total time traveled was

Translate the sentence to get the equation.

Use the Zero Product Property.

The solution

is unreasonable because
5

−5=−

and his uphill speed cannot be negative. So, Dennis's downhill speed is
10
mph and his uphill speed is
10−5=5
mph.
Check. Is
10
mph a reasonable speed for biking downhill? Yes.
Downhill:
10 mph
5 mph⋅
20 miles
5 mph
=20 miles
Uphill:
10−5=5 mph
(10−5) mph⋅
20 miles
10−5 mph
=20 miles
The total time traveled was
6
hours.
Dennis’ downhill speed was
10
mph and his uphill speed was
5
mph.
Since x=x, this is an isosceles right triangle. By the Pythagorean Theorem:
h^2=a^2+b^2 (the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the squared sides)
5^2=x^2+x^2
25=2x^2
2x^2=25
x^2=25/2
x=√(25/2)
x=5/√2 now if we rationalize the denominator...
x=(5√2)/(√2√2)
x=(5√2)/2
I am confused but ummm I think the answer is 1
The correct answer is A. 10
8 divided by 0.8 = 10
10x0.8=8
