Step-by-step answer:

Answer to problems of this kind is the reciprocal of the harmonic mean of the time required.

We need to find the average of the speeds, not the average of the time.

The respective speeds are 1/3 and 1/4.

The average of the speeds is therefore (1/3+1/4)/2 = 7/24 (harmonic mean of the time taken).

The time required is therefore the reciprocal of the unit speed,

T = 1/(7/24) = 24/7 = 3 3/7 minutes, or approximately 3.43 minutes.

ratelena [41]

Answer:

$10\frac{11}{20}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$5\frac{1}{2} + 3\frac{4}{5} + 1\frac{1}{4}$

1.Find the LCM(Least Common Multiple).

That would be 20.

2.Multiply so all denominators are equal.

$5\frac{10}{20} + 3\frac{16}{20} + 1\frac{5}{20}$

3. Add

$9\frac{31}{20}$

4. Simplify

$10\frac{11}{20}$

This is a continuous set of points in the coordinate plane. It can be, but is not always, straight.

Answer:

Linear. While all linear equations produce straight lines when graphed, not all linear equations produce linear functions. In order to be a linear function, a graph must be both linear (a straight line) and a function (matching each x-value to only one y-value).
