Answer:

y=5 when x=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the format for inverse proportions: y=k/x

To find k, substitute 25 in for y and 4 for x to find:

25=k/4 ⇒ k=100

Using this we can substitute k and x in for 100 and 20 to find:

y=100/20 ⇒ y=5

Answer:

6 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question: Starting at home Nadia traveled uphill to the grocery store for 30 minutes at just 4mph. She then traveled back home along the same path downhill at a speed of 12 mph. What is her average speed for the entire trip from home to the grocery store and back?

Given: Time taken to travel uphill to the grocery store is 30 minutes.

Speed of travelling uphill to the grocery store is 4 mph.

Speed of travelling downhil to the home is 12mph.

First converting the unit if time given:

Time taken to travel uphill to the grocery store= $\frac{30}{60} = \frac{1}{2}$
