Answer:

<u>Dave drove 168 miles during the 2nd part of the trip</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Speed of Dave for part of the trip = 55 mph

Speed of Dave the rest of the trip = 60 mph

Total time of the round trip = 4 hours 12 minutes

Total distance of the trip = 245 miles

2. How far did Dave drive during the 2nd part of his trip?

Let's recall that the formula of speed is:

Speed = Distance/Time, therefore Distance = Speed * Time

x = Time of part of the trip

4 hours 12 minutes - x = Time of the rest of the trip

4.2 hours - x = Time of the rest of the trip

Now, we can write solve for x, this way:

55 * x + 60 (4.2 - x) = 245

55x + 252 - 60x = 245

-5x = 245 - 252

-5x = -7

x = -7/-5 = 7/5 = 1.4 ⇒ 4.2 - x = 2.8

1st part of the trip = 55 * 1.4 = 77 miles

2nd part of the trip = 2.8 * 60 = 168 miles

<u>Dave drove 168 miles during the 2nd part of the trip and 77 miles during the 1st part</u>

Which graph or equation represents a Nonpoportional relationship A B C or D
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph that represents a proportional relationship usually has the line cutting through the line of origin (0, 0).

The graph in option A does not have the line passing through the point of origin (0, 0), therefore, it does not represent a proportional relationship.

For an equation that represents a proportional relationship, it is written in the form of y = kx

Where, k is the constant of proportionality.

Therefore, the two equations given represents a proportional relationship.
