Answer:

  4/13

Step-by-step explanation:

Driving time is ...

  time = distance/speed

Then the ratio of times is ...

  6/20 : 6/30 : 6/40

  = 3/10 : 1/5 : 3/20

If we multiply by 20, we can get integer ratios:

  = 6 : 4 : 3

The middle ratio number represents the time spent at 30 mph, and the total of all ratio numbers represents the total driving time. Then the fraction spent at 30 mph is ...

  4/(6+4+3) = 4/13

_____

Total driving time was 13/20 hours, or 39 minutes. Of that time, 12 minutes was spent driving at 30 mph.

Answer:

∠ 2 = 140°

Step-by-step explanation:

the left base angle in the triangle and 110° are a linear pair and sum to 180°

base angle + 110° = 180° ( subtract 110° from both sides )

base angle = 70°

the 2 sides of the triangle are congruent so Δ is isosceles with base angles congruent.

the vertex of the Δ is then

(180 - 70 - 70)° = 180° - 140° = 40°

the vertex and ∠ 2 are a linear pair and sum to 180° , that is

∠ 2 + 40° = 180° ( subtract 40° from both sides )

∠ 2 = 140°
