a. It spends about 2.045 hours going 55 miles per hour

b. It spends 1 hour going 35 miles per hour

c. The trip would take about 3.64 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

A car is traveling on a small highway and is either going 55 miles per hour or 35 miles  per hour, depending on the speed limits, until it reaches its destination 200 miles  away

  • x represents the amount of time in hours that the car is going 55 miles per  hour
  • y represents the amount of time in hours that the car is going 35 miles per hour
  • The equation  that describing the relationship is 55x + 35y = 200

We need to find:

a. How long does it  spend going 55 miles per hour, if the car spends 2.5 hours going 35 miles per hour on the trip

∵ 55x + 35y = 200

∵ The car spends 2.5 hours going 35 miles per hour on the trip

∵ y represents the amount of time that the car going 35 mi./h

∴ y = 2.5

- Substitute the value of y in the equation to find the value of x

∴ 55x + 35(2.5) = 200

∴ 55x + 87.5 = 200

- Subtract 87.5 from both sides

∴ 55x = 112.5

- Divide both sides by 55

∴ x = 2.045 hours

It spends about 2.045 hours going 55 miles per hour

b.how long does it  spend going 35 miles per hour, if the car spends 3 hours going 55 miles per hour on the trip

∵ 55x + 35y = 200

∵ The car spends 3 hours going 55 miles per hour on the trip

∵ x represents the amount of time that the car going 55 mi./h

∴ x = 3

- Substitute the value of y in the equation to find the value of x

∴ 55(3) + 35y = 200

∴ 165 + 35y = 200

- Subtract 165 from both sides

∴ 35y = 35

- Divide both sides by 35

∴ y = 1 hour

It spends 1 hour going 35 miles per hour

c. How long would the trip take, if the car spends no time going 35 miles per hour

∵ 55x + 35y = 200

∵ The car spends no time going 35 miles per hour

∴ y = 0

- Substitute the value of y in the equation to find the value of x

∴ 55x + 35(0) = 200

∴ 55x  = 200

- Divide both sides by 55

∴ x = 3.63 hours

The trip would take about 3.64 hours

Ellen says that one and 2/5 equal 5÷7. Is she correct? Explain.
zhuklara [117]
No because 2/5 is the same as 2 divided by 7, so 2/5 = 0.4 where 5 divide by 7 is 0.714….. so they’re not equal.
