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

What is the Lcm of 2 and 7
wel

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

The least common multiple is a number that both numbers can multiply something to get to, and the smallest possible common one.

Let's try listing out the multiples of 2:

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20

And the multiples of 7:

7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70

Notice that both have the number 14 in common, and it is the first number that they do so.  There are lots of other multiples that they have in common too, but 14 is the least.
