Answer:

3.08 km/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}

Ali traveled at a speed of s km/h for 2.5 hours.

Let d be the distance and t be the time.

2.5=\dfrac{d}{t}

2.5t=d      ...(1)

On his return journey, he increased his speed by 4 km/h and saved 15 minutes. So, distance is d and times is t-15.

4=\dfrac{d}{t-15}

4(t-15)=d      ...(2)

From (1) and (2), we get

4(t-15)=2.5t

4t-60-2.5t=0

1.5t=60

t=40

Put t=40 in (1).

d=2.5(40)=100

So, t=40 and d=100.

Now,

Total distance = d + d = 100 + 100 = 200

Total time = t + t - 15 = 40 + 40 - 15 = 65

So, the average speed is

\text{Average speed}=\dfrac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total time}}

\text{Average speed}=\dfrac{200}{65}

\text{Average speed}\approx 3.08

Therefore, the average speed is 3.08 km/h.

Answer:

Quadrant 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is quadrant two because the answer is in the form of -x,y. When the x is negative and the y is positive, it is always going to be in quadrant 2. As you can see in the image below, quadrant 1 is going to be all positive, quadrant two is going to be negative then positive, quadrant three is going to be all negative, and quadrant 4 is going to be positive then negative. Use this as a guide for the rest of your question. I hope this helps!

In the figure, parallel lines r and s are cut by line t
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

<u>x = 49</u>

Since the line is parallel, the value of 2x - 8 is equal to 90.

=> 2x - 8 = 90

=> 2x = 98

=> <u>x = 49</u>

S is a subset within a universal set, U. If S = {x, y, 4, 9, ?), which could describe U? U = {keys on a keyboard}
Katyanochek1 [597]
Since U is a universal set where S is its subset, then set U should consist of all the letters, numbers and punctuation mark in a keyboard. In other words, universal set U consists of the following elements:
U = (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
U = (x| x comprised of all the letters in the alphabet fro a to z)
U = (!,.,,,?,!:,;,",',-)
