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.

Are the following triangles similar? Justify your answer.
FinnZ [79.3K]
Yes they are similar because one they're both 90 degree angles, and two if you divide 12÷8 it'll equal 1.5
Same thing with the other side. If you divide 36÷24 it'll equal 1.5
and this shows proof of similarity since its like half the sides, but they both have the same angles.
(Sides doesn't matter, its the angles)
