The key is Esther travelled the same distance - x - in both her morning and evening commute.
45(time she took in the morning, or p) = x
30(time she took in the evening, or q) = x
Therefore 45(p) = 30(q), or divide both sides by 5 and get 9(p) = 6(q). I know you can divide it further, but these numbers are small enough and it's not worth the time.
Since the whole trip took an hour, (p + q) = 60min, and so, p = 60-q.
Therefore 9(60-q) = 6q or 540-9q = 6q. So 540 = 15q, which makes q = 36. If q = 36, then by (p+q)=60, p (the time she took in the morning) must equal 24.
45 miles per hour, her speed in the morning, times (24/60) hours, her time, makes 18 miles travelled in the morning. If you check, 30 miles per hour times (36/60) hours also makes 18 miles in the evening.

Answer:
24 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of the trapezium, we must know the length CD. That means we must know the length BC. Fortunately, the perimeter of ABCF is given, so we have ...
P = 2(AB +BC)
BC = (P/2) -AB = (20 cm)/2 - 6 cm = 4 cm
Then CD is ...
CD = BD -BC = 9 cm -4 cm = 5 cm
The area of the trapezium is given by the formula ...
A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h
A = (1/2)(5 cm + 3 cm)(6 cm) = 24 cm²
The area of trapezium CDEF is 24 cm².
Answer:
$4.59
Step-by-step explanation:
20 - 1.20 - 5.03 = 13.77
13.77/3 = 4.59
