Answer:

Total distance traveled in all = 220 miles

Average speed for the entire trip = 44 miles per hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The family traveled from point A to B in 2 hours  at a speed of 55 miles per hour.

Average speed = distance traveled/time taken

Time traveled from point A to B = 2 hours

Average speed from point A to B = 55 miles per hour

using the formula,

55 = Distance traveled from point A to B / 2

cross multiplying

Distance traveled from point A to B = 55 × 2

Distance traveled from point A to B  = 110 miles

The family returned from point B to A , due to snowstorm the family took 3 hours to travel  back to A .

The total travel is the total distance the family covers from point A to B and point B to A.

Since the distance from point A to B is known , point B to A distance is also known.

Total distance covered = distance from point A to B  + distance from point B to A

Total distance covered = 110 + 110 = 220 miles

Total distance traveled in all = 220 miles

Total time traveled = 2 + 3 = 5 hours    

Average speed for the entire trip =  220/5

Average speed for the entire trip = 44 miles per hours

Which of the following describes the growth rate of the exponential function in the graph below?
motikmotik
The common form of exponential function is y = xᵃ where x is the variable and a is raised to a specific number. From this, the graph would on the value of a. An example would be when there are 70000 bacteria present in a culture and reduced by half every four hours, the number of bacteria will decrease. The bacteria will experience an exponential decay because it decreases its number at a constant decay.

Answer:

(B) 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let small puppet be represented by-----------------s

Let large puppet be represented by-----------------l

Total number of puppets expression will be: s+l =25---------a

The expression for total costs will be : 1$ s + $2l=$30-------b

Equation a can be written as; s= 25-l ------------c

Use equation c in equation b as

$1( 25-l )+$ 2l = $30

25-l + 2l = 30

25+l =30

l= 30-25 =5

l, large puppets = 5

s, small puppets = 25-5 = 20

Answer choice A is incorrect because 25 is the total number of all puppets

Answer choice C and D are incorrect because the numbers are less that that of small puppets.

Peggy is thinking of a number such that when twice the number is added to three times one more than the number she gets the same
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets assume the number Peggy is thinking of be "x".

Now as given, when twice the number is added to three times one more than the number. We can write it as

∴ 2x+3(x+1)--- Equation 1

Again, it is given that Peggy gets the same result as when she multiplies four times one less than the number.

∴ 4(x-1)-- equation 2

Next, we can equate both the equation 1 and 2 as it is given that result is same.

2x+3(x+1)= 4(x-1)

Let´s distribute 3 into (x+1) and 4 into (x-1)

⇒ 2x+3x+3=4x-4

⇒ 5x+3=4x-4

Subtract both side by 4x and 3

∴ x=-7

∴ Peggy was thinking of -7

What is 2,001÷83 pls help i need to check my answer
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

24.11

Step-by-step explanation:

2001 ÷ 83

83×2= 166

200-166=34 bring down the 1

341 ÷ 83

83×4= 332

341-332=9 add a decimal and bring down a 0

90÷83

90-83=7 bring down another 0

70÷83=0 brind down another 0 since 70 cannot be divided by 83 and have a whole number

700÷83

83×8=664

700-664=36

right now you have 24.108

round to the nearest tenth
