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.

How can you determine which variable is dependent and which variable is independent

padilas [110]

MrBillDoesMath!

Answer: The dependent variable depends on another variable for its value. For example, if y = 2x, setting x = 1 forces y= 2.; setting x = 10, forces y =20. There are no other possibilities for y once x ids chosen. So y is the dependent variable and x is the independent one. You can pick values for the independent variable (x) but no so for the dependent one.
