Given that, the time (t) taken to complete a journey varies directly as the distance (d) and inversely as the average speed (s).

Hence, we can set an equation as following:

t = k\frac{d}{s}

Other information is that it takes 3 hours to complete a 280km trip at 80km/h.

So, plug in t = 3, d = 280 and s = 80 in the above equation to get the value of k. Therefore,

3=k \frac{280}{80} [/tex3 = k* 3.5[tex] \frac{3}{3.5} =\frac{k*3.5}{3.5} Divide each sides by 3.5.

k = 0.857142857

So, k = 0.857

Now we need to find the time when d= 546 and s = 65. So, plug in these values in the above equation to get the value of t. Hence,

t = 0.857*\frac{546}{65}

= 0.857 * 8.4

= 7.1988

= 7 hours ( Rounded to nearest integer).

So, it will take 7 hours.

Hope this helps you!

a square sandbox has an area of 42 squareft what is the approximate perimeter of the sandbox to the nearest hundredth
Ugo [173]

The area of a square is its side length squared. So the side length of the square squared is 42, so the side length of the square is sqrt(42). The perimeter of the square is 4 times the side length, or 4sqrt(42), which is approximately 25.92.
