It takes 36 minutes less time to travel 120 miles by car at night than by day because the lack of traffic allows the average spe

ed at night to be 10 miles per hour faster than the daytime. Find the average speed in the daytime.

Let the average speed at day time be x miles per hour

Therefore at night the average speed = (x + 10) miles per hour

Time = Distance / speed

Time at day  -  Time at night =  36 minutes.

36 minutes = 36/60 hour =  6/10 hour

Time at day = Distance / speed at day =  120 / x

Time at night = Distance / speed at night =  120 / (x + 10)


  120/x   -  120/(x + 10) = 6/10

     1/x  -  1/(x + 10)  =  6/10* 1/120

       1/x -  1/(x + 10) =  1/200

         ((x + 10) - x) / ((x)(x+10)) = 1/200

             (x + 10 - x) / ((x)*(x+10)) = 1/200

                     10 / ((x)*(x + 10)) = 1/200

                         1 / ((x)*(x + 10)) = 1/2000

   Therefore        x (x + 10) =  2000

           x and x +10      are          40 and 50.    Because 40*50 = 2000

           x = 40

     Average speed in the day time = 40 miles per hour

True [87]

Answer:

176 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle = 1/2(b)(h)

<em>*b means base and h means height*</em>

Since there are four separate triangles here, we have to find the area for each and add each area together.

1/2(8)(16)

1/2(128)

64

We can multiple 64 by 2, because there are two triangles of this same size in the kite.

64(2) = 128

1/2(8)(6)

1/2(48)

24

We can also multiply 24 by two since the kite includes two triangles of this same size.

24(2) = 48

48 + 128 =

Franco is reading a book with 482 pages he reads 30 pages each night. how many pages will he read in 7 nights? show your work
Sergeu [11.5K]
The number of pages in the book is actually irrelevant.

Franco reads 30 pages in 1 night. To find how many pages he reads in 7 nights, just multiply by 7.

30*7=210

Franco reads 210 pages in 7 nights.


Solving with Equivalent Ratios:

The ratio of pages he reads per night is 30:1. We need to figure out the ratio <em>x</em>:7, where the variable <em>x</em> is the number of pages he reads in 7 nights.

30:1=<em>x</em>:7

To find x we need to see the similarity between both ratios. This is found by dividing two of the equal sides, here it would be 7 and 1.

7/1=7

This means that the second ratio is 7 times the first ration. To find <em>x</em>, just multiply 30 by 7.

30*7=210

Franco reads 210 pages every 7 nights.
