Question: John drove to a distant city in 5 hours.

When he returned, there was less traffic and the trip took only 3 hours.

If John averaged 26 mph faster on the return trip, how fast did he drive each way

Answer:

For the first trip he drove at a speed of 39 mph

For the second trip he drove at a speed of 65 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance for both journey be Z because they are equal.

Let the speed for the first journey be X

Let the speed of the second journey be Y

Formula for speed = distance ÷ time

For the first journey the speed X = Z ÷ 5

For the second journey the speed Y = Z ÷ 3

Since John averaged 26 mph faster in the second trip than the first trip due to traffic, it means that the difference in speed between the first & second trip is 26 mph

Difference in speed = (Z÷3) - (Z÷5) = 26

subtracting both results to  (5Z-3Z) ÷ 15 = 26

Upon cross multiplication

2Z = 390

Z = 390÷2 = 195 miles

Therefore speed for first journey = 195 ÷ 5 = 39 mph

Speed for second journey = 195 ÷ 3 = 65 mph

To verify, 65 - 39 = 26 mph

Which solid figure has one polygon base?
maks197457 [2]
Q1: The answer is A. pyramid.
A pyramid has one polygon base. A prism has two polygon bases. A cone has one circular base. A cylinder has two circular bases.

Q6: The answer is false.
Surface area of a rectangular prism is:
A = 2(wl + hl + hw)
A1 = 2(4*5 + 6*5 + 6*4) = 2(20+30+24) = 2*74 = 148
A2 = 2(6*4 + 5*4 + 5*6) = 2(24+20+30) = 2*74 = 148

Q7. The answer is A. 6 feet
The volume of rectangular prism is:
V = w * l * h
w = ?
So, just replace the knowing facts:
288 = w * 8 * 6
288 = w * 48
w = 288/48 = 6

Q8: The answer is 216 ft³
The volume of the cube is:
V = a³
Since a = 6, then:
V = 6³ = 216

Find the data set that places 22.6 as an outlier.
Anon25 [30]

The data-set that places 22.6 as an outlier is given as follows:

2.4, 5.3, 3.5, 22.6, 1.8, 2.1, 4.6, 1.9

<h3>When a measure is considered an outlier in a data-set?</h3>

A measure is considered an outlier in a data-set if it is very far from other measures, especially in these two cases:

  • If the measure is considerably less than the second smallest value.
  • If the measure is considerably more than the second highest value.

In this problem, he data-set that places 22.6 as an outlier is given as follows:

2.4, 5.3, 3.5, 22.6, 1.8, 2.1, 4.6, 1.9.

The second highest value is 5.3, which is considerably less than 22.6, hence 22.6 is an outlier in the data-set.

Answer:

  £592 for 16 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

The classroom floor area is ...

  A = LW = (8.8 m)(2.2 m) = 19.36 m²

The cupboard floor area is ...

  A = (2.3 m)(2.1 m) = 4.83 m²

Then the total area to be covered is ...

  19.36 m² +4.83 m² = 24.19 m²

At 1.6 m² per box, the number of boxes required is ...

  (24.19 m²)/(1.6 m²/box) = 15.12 boxes

If we assume we can only purchase whole boxes, we need to purchase 16 boxes to cover the floor. The cost will be ...

  (16 boxes)(£37/box) = £592 . . . . cost of laminate to replace the floor
