It took 70 minutes for James to finish and 84 minutes for Lucas to finish and James was faster.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Climbing rate of James = 3 mph

Running back rate of James = 4 mph

Climbing rate of Lucas = 2 mph

Running back rate = 5 mph

Total distance = 2 miles

We know that;

Distance = Speed * Time

As we have to find, we will rearrange the formula in terms of time

Time=\frac{Distance}{Speed}

Time took by James for climbing = \frac{2}{3}\ hours

Time took for running back = \frac{2}{4}\ hours

Total time = \frac{2}{3}+\frac{2}{4}=\frac{8+6}{12}=\frac{14}{12}

Total time taken by James = \frac{7}{6}\ hours

1 hour = 60

Total time taken by James = \frac{7}{6}*60=70\ minutes

Time took by Lucas for climbing = \frac{2}{2}=\ 1\ hour

Time took by Lucas for climbing = 60 minutes

Time took on return = \frac{2}{5} of\ an\ hour=\frac{2}{5}*60=24\ minutes

Total time taken by Lucas = 60+24 = 84 minutes

Therefore,

It took 70 minutes for James to finish and 84 minutes for Lucas to finish and James was faster.

Suppose you want to know how fast you traveled from the park to the library. As you moved, your speed varied from second to seco
frutty [35]

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to describe speed of an object, we must describe the average speed of the entire trip. It is equal to the distance moved divided by time taken.

If a person covers a distance of 1 km to the library in 15 minutes, we can find its average speed.

Firstly, we convert 15 minutes to hour, 15 min = 0.25 hours

Now, using formula of speed = distance/time

v=\dfrac{1\ km}{0.25\ h}\\\\v=4\ km/h

It means that the average speed of the person is 4 km/h. Hence, the given statement is true.

What value of y makes y + (4 - 2y) = 2 true?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y + (4 - 2y) = 2 ← remove parenthesis on left side

y + 4 - 2y = 2, that is

- y + 4 = 2 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

- y = - 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

y = 2
