Answer:

His original speed was 60 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed formula is shown below:

speed = distance / time

For the first leg of the trip Mr. Blue drove at a speed of "x" mph, for a distance of 105 miles, therefore the time that took to complete the trip is:

time 1 = distance / speed

time 1 = 105 / x h

On the second leg of the trip Mr. Blue drove faster at a speed of "x + 10" mph, so the time it took him to complete the trip was 15 minutes less, therfore:

time 2 = time1 - (15/60) = (105/x) - 0.25 = (105 - 0.25*x)/x h

Applyint the time and speed from the second leg to the average speed formula we have:

x + 10 = {105/[(105 - 0.25*x)/x]}

x + 10 = 105*x/(105 - 0.25*x)

(x + 10)*(105 - 0.25*x) = 105*x

105*x + 1050 -0.25*x² - 2.5*x = 105*x

-0.25*x² -2.5*x + 1050 = 0 /(-0.25)

x² + 10*x - 4200 = 0

x1 = [-(10) + sqrt((10)² - 4*(1)*(-4200))]/2 = 60

x2 = [-(10) - sqrt((10)² - 4*(1)*(-4200))]/2 = -70

Since his speed couldn't be negative the only possible value was 60 mph.

Steps:

1: p=0.2

2: n = 17

3: n*p= 17*0.2=3.4

Description:

The person will spend less than 20 or o.2 as seen in the question. Meaning p will equal 0.2. P for probability. Now n is for number. n will equal 17. And then we have to times all the number. N times P will equal 17 then times it by 0.2=  Answer will come as 3.4.

Answer: 3.4

If the area of a right triangle is 9/16 sq. ft. and the height is 3/4 ft, write an equation that relates the area to the base,b,
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Base = 1.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = ½ × base × height

9/16 = ½ × base × 3/4

9/16 = 3/8 × base

base = 9/16 × 8/3

base = 3/2

base = 1½ ft
