To find their average miles per hour we can divide the total miles by the hour used:
4 2/3 ÷ 1 2/3
=4x3+2/3 ÷ 1x3+2/3
=14/3 ÷ 5/3
In division, when we switch the place of numerator and denominator, we can change it to multiplication which makes the calculation easier as we can factorize the numbers.
=14/3 x 3/5
Factorize 3 in both amounts:
=14/1 x 5/1
=14/5
=2.8 miles/hour
Therefore their average speed is 2.8 miles/hour.
Hope it helps!
Answer:
x should equal 10 because 10 divide by -5 would equal -2
Y = 12x is a direct variation which is a proportion.
As x increases y also increases.
The last one is the last correct answer that needs to be checked!!
