The speed of slower car is 45 mph and faster car is 50 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Distance covered by both cars = 190 miles

Time taken by both of them = 2 hours

Let,

x be the speed of slower car.

Speed of faster car = x+5

Combined speed = x+x+5 = 2x+5

We know that;

Distance = Speed * Time

190=(2x+5)*2\\190=4x+10\\4x=190-10\\4x=180\\

Dividing both sides by 4

\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{180}{4}\\x=45

Speed of slower car = 45 miles per hour

Speed of faster car = 45+5 = 50 miles per hour

The speed of slower car is 45 mph and faster car is 50 mph.

Kitty [74]

Answer: The managers statment would most likely give the valid interpretation.

Step-by-step explanation: If the store manager is 95% confident that the average amount spent was between $31.84 and $38.66. Then the store manager is most likey correct so I would have to say I agree with the manager. This may be a tricky question at first, but look at the problem from a different perspective. I am very sorry if this happens to be wrong.

Blake and Ned work for a home remodeling business. They are putting the final touches on a home they renovated. Working alone, B
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: The time taken by both of them if they work together is given by

3\dfrac{3}{5}\ hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Time taken by Blake to paint one room = 9 hours

Time taken by Ned to paint one room = 6 hours

Work done by Blake  = \dfrac{1}{9}

Work done by Ned = \dfrac{1}{6}

Total work done by both of them together is given by

\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\=\dfrac{3+2}{18}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{18}

So, the time taken by both of them if they work together is given by

\dfrac{18}{5}=3\dfrac{3}{5}\ hours
