Answer:

B) 20.6 mi/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we need to first convert 40 meters to mile, then convert 4.35 seconds to hour, then solve by proportion.

converting 40 meters to mile;

1 mile = 1609.344 meter

x       = 40 meters

1609.344x = 40

x = 40/1609.344

x =0.02485 mile

Then converting seconds to hour

1 hour = 3600 seconds

 y      = 4.35 seconds

3600 y = 4.35

y=4.35/3600

y =0.00121  hour

Using proportion to solve the question

Let n be the number he runs miles per hour

0.02485 mile = 0.00121  hour

  n                   = 1    hour

cross-multiply

0.00121  n =   0.02485

Divide both-side by 0.00121

0.00121  n/0.00121  =   0.02485/0.00121

n ≈ 20.6 mile/hour

Therefore, he is running 20.6 mi/hr

a. Kevin’s annual salary is 8.75 per hour x 40 hour work week x 52 work week per year

= $18,200

b. Kevin will spend on fuel each week:

34 miles daily round trip x 5 day work week divided by 21 miles per gallon x 1.26 per gallon

= $10.20

c. Kevin will spend _ hours on commuting

= 34 miles is the daily round trip x 5 day work week divided by 45 miles average speed per hour

= 3.78 hours
