Question

PLEASE HEP ME QUICK!!!!: Tom travels between the two mile markers shown and then finds his average speed in miles per hour. Select the three equations that represent this situation.

Answer 1

Answer:

$speed=\frac{195\ miles}{3\ hours}$

$3\ hours=\frac{195\ miles}{speed}$

$3\ hours*(speed)=195\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The speed is equal to divide the distance by the time

Let

x -----> the distance in miles

y ----> the time in hours

$speed=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

The distance is equal to subtract 35 miles from 230 miles

$x=230-35=195\ miles$

The time is equal to subtract 1:30 pm from 4:30 pm

$y=4:30\ pm-1:30\ pm=3\ hours$

substitute in the formula of speed

$speed=\frac{195\ miles}{3\ hours}$

Isolate 3 hours

$3\ hours=\frac{195\ miles}{speed}$

Isolate 195 miles

$195\ miles=3\ hours*(speed)$
