Answer:

3.46 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of Tara bicycling without wind effect = 15mph

let the speed of wind be x mph

If she cycles against the wind then her speed will be decrease by the amount as the speed of wind

Then,

Speed of Tara bicycling against wind effect = (15-x)mph

distance traveled by Tara against wind = 10 miles

we know that

time = distance by speed

time taken by Tara while traveling against wind = 10/(15-x)

_______________________________________________________

If she cycles with the wind then her speed will be increase by the amount as the speed of wind

Then,

Speed of Tara bicycling with wind effect = (15+x)mph

distance traveled by Tara w wit wind = 16 miles

time taken by Tara while traveling with wind = 16/(15+x)

___________________________________________

it is given that both the time are same

time taken by Tara while traveling with wind  = time taken by Tara while traveling against wind

16/(15+x) = 10/(15-x)

=> 16(15-x)=10(15+x)

=> 240 - 16x = 150 +10x

=>240 - 150 = 10x+16x

=> 90 = 26x

=> x = 90/26 = 3.46

Thus, speed of wind is 3.46 mph.

kristen made half as many sundaes as Reese if they made thirty sundaes in all how many did Kristen make
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Well, since half is when you divide something by 2, divide 30 by 2

Then, you get 15

So Kristen made 15 sundaes!

Hope this helped!

If a function, f(x) is shifted to the left four units, what will the transformed function look like? use an example.
ohaa [14]
If you shift a function to the left 4 units, the only thing you are doing to it is moving it.  You are not changing its shape or its orientation.  A simple example is the parabola y = x^2.  The vertex is at the origin.  When you shift it 4 units to the right, the new equation is y = (x+4)^2 which shows we have moved the parabola 4 units to the left.  Nothing else changes about it.
