The Sanchez family drove 132 miles in 3 hours before lunch. Then they drove 240 miles in 5 hours after lunch.

1 answer:

3 0

The formula for speed is the total distance traveled over time. We shall calculate the 2 speeds individually- before and after lunch. Afterwhich, we shall add them together and divide by 2 to get the average.
Before lunch s = 132 mi / 3 hr = 44 mi/hr
After lunch s = 240 mi / 5 hr = 48 mi/hr

Ave s= 48 + 44 / 2
Ave s= 46 mi/hr

Therefore the correct answer is A.

Answer:

B -9/7

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find a number between

-3 1/3 < x < -4/5

We want a number smaller than between -3 1/3 and -.8

Looking at the choices

-9/7 = - (7/7 + 2/7) = -(1+2/7) = -1 2/7

That is between -3 1/3 and -4/5
