In general, you're calculating the magnitude of average velocity. In fact, speed is a vector, and as such it also has a direction and orientation.
So, if you compute the average speed, you're assuming that you went directly from point A to point B, which is basically never the case.
If, instead, you actually moved on a straight line from point A to point B, then the two quantities are the same.
one would say that the simple interest doubles if the period of time is specified in the contract and the contract is still valid, if the interest amount is available anitime and so on.
So if the amount doubles let's say at half time for which the principal was awarded to the bank, by the end of the contract , the interest amount can be double × just increased by 1.5
The correct answer of 1/3 is the decimal form of it which is 0.3 repeated (you can put a line on top of the 3). If not just leave it as 1/3 it is simplified as a fraction.
15.50+1.50x =26
1.50x = 10.50
x = 7
answer: he can ride 7 in one day
