Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Both cars, X and Y travelled 80 miles each.

Speed = distance/time

If car X took 2 hours to travel 80 miles, it means that the speed at which car X travelled is

80/2 = 40 mph

If car Y traveled at an average speed that was 50 percent faster than the average speed of car X, it means that the speed at which car X travelled is

40 + 0.5 × 40 = 60 mph

Time = distance/speed

Therefore, time taken by car Y to travel 80 miles is

80/60 = 1.33 hours

A 30cm board is cut down to be 25.5 cm. What is the percent decrease in length?
zmey [24]
Okie, so percent decrease is the amount loss divided by the original number and multiplied by 100 to find the percent. This is because you are finding the amount loss in terms of the total amount - percent basically.
The amount loss : 4 feet
4 feet/ 12 feet = .3333 (ratio of how much cut) multiply by 100 --> 33.3% decrease. From 12 feet to 8 feet is a 33.3 % decrease. I hope this helps :-)

Answer:

  {5, 10, 15, 20}

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiples of 5 are of the form 5n, where n is an integer. The ones of interest will satisfy ...

  0 < 5n < 23

  0 < n < 4.6

That is, the multiples of 5 we want are for values of n that are 1 through 4. The set is ...

  5 × {1, 2, 3, 4} = {5, 10, 15, 20}
