Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

Let's say d = distance, r = speed and t = time

We know the distance formula is :

distance = speed x time

d = r multiplied by t

d = rt

If the speed is 15km/hr, the time would be 30 minutes shorter.

Since d = rt,

90 = 15t

t = 6,

This means the time taken for the bus to complete the journey at 15km/hr would be 6hrs.

Originally though, the journey takes 30 minutes longer.

So we can say t = 6.5 hrs , and we know d = 90

Now we use the distance formula:

d = rt, since we want to find the original speed, we want to find r.

Speed = distance/time

r = d/t

r = 90/6.5

r = 180/13

Therefore the original speed is 180/13 km/hr

Radda [10]

Answer:

6%

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. 90 + 60 = 150
  2. 7 + 2 = 9
  3. Set up a proportion: \frac{9}{150} = \frac{x}{100}  
  4. Cross multiply, then divide: 9 × 100 = 900, 900 ÷ 150 = 6
  5. So, 6% of students in 6th grade were left-handed

I hope this helps!
