<u>Answer:</u>

The total time taken to complete 25 miles is 7.6 hours.

Solution:

Ben walks 5 miles in 1 hour,

Second 5 miles in 1.4 hours,

Third 5 miles in 1.7 hours,

Last 5 miles in 1.8 hours

So he walked total 20 miles in (1+1.4+1.7+1.8) hours = 5.9 hours = 6 hours (approximately)

So his average speed is \left(\frac{20}{6}\right) miles/hours = 3.33 miles/hours.  

i.e. he travels 3.3 miles in 1 hour,

Then, he travels 1 miles in \left(\frac{1}{3.3}\right) hours

Hence the total time he will take to walk 25 miles is \left(25 \times\left(\frac{1}{3.3}\right)\right) \text { hours }\Rightarrow \left(\frac{25}{3.3}\right) \text { hours } = 7.5757 hours

That is approximately 7.57 or 7.6 hours.

Please show your work and explain it.
Maru [420]

Answer:

f(x)=\dfrac{x+2}{2(x-2)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember when you divide fractions, you need to get the reciprocal of the divisor and multiply. So your first simplification would be:

\dfrac{x^2+4x+4}{x^2-6x+8}\div\dfrac{6x+12}{3x-12}\\\\=\dfrac{x^2+4x+4}{x^2-6x+8}\times\dfrac{3x-12}{6x+12}\\\\=\dfrac{(x^2+4x+4)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6x+12)}

Next we factor what we can so we can further simplify the rest of the equation:

=\dfrac{(x^2+4x+4)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6x+12)}\\\\=\dfrac{(x+2)(x+2)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6(x+2))}\\\\

We can now cancel out (x+2)

=\dfrac{(x+2)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6)}

Next we factor out even more:

=\dfrac{(x+2)(3)(x-4)}{(x-2)(x-4)(6)}

We cancel out x-4 and reduce the 3 and 6 into simpler terms:

=\dfrac{(x+2)(1)}{(x-2)(2)}

And we can now simplify it to:

=\dfrac{x+2}{2(x-2)}
