A car trip from New York to Cincinnati took 12.5 hours. The return trip by the same route took 1 hour longer.

Let x be the speed of the car

Car trip from New York to Cincinnati

We know Distance D = speed * time

time = 12.5 hours and speed =x

D = 12.5x

Return trip

The return trip by the same route took 1 hour longer. So 12.5+1 = 13.5 hours

he average rate of speed was 4 mph less. So speed is x-4

Distance D = speed * time

time = 13.5 hours and speed =x-4

D = (x-4)*13.5

D= 13.5x-54

The distance of ongoing trip and return trip are same

So we equate both the distance equations D= 13.5x-54  and D= 12.5x

12.5x = 13.5x-54    

Subtract  13.5 on both sides

-1x = -54

x=54

speed of ongoing trip = 54 miles per hour

Distance D = 12.5x = 12.5 * 54=675 miles

The length of the route = 675 miles

a cone has a volume of 6 cubic inches. what is the volume of a cylinder that the cone fits exactly inside of
ella [17]

Answer:

= 18 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone is given by the formula;

V = 1/3 × base area × height

While that of cylinder is given by the formula;

Volume = Base area × height

Since we need the cylinder to fit exactly inside the cone, then it  means that their bases are the same and heights are the same.

Therefore;

The cone has three times less volume compared to the cylinder.

Thus;

Volume of the cylinder = Volume of cone × 3

                                       = 6 In³ × 3

                                       <u>= 18 cubic inches</u>
