OK. Even though you only gave me part of the paragraph, I read that much, and I think I'm ready to select the correct answer now. What are the choices ?
15 miles per hour.
Divide the number of miles by the number of hours to get the miles per hour.
Answer: it will take 2.5 hours for both people to meet after person B leaves.
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between the house of person A and his cousin's house is 234 miles.
At the point where they meet, they would have travelled 234 miles.
Person A travelled at an average speed of 44 miles per hour.
Let t represent the time spent by Person A in travelling from his house to the point where they meet.
Distance = speed × time
Distance covered by person A would be
44 × t = 44t
One and half hours later, person B leaves his house to visit person A, travelling at an average speed of 62 miles per hour. This means that total time spent by person B in travelling to the point where they meet is (t - 0.5) hours. Distance covered would be
62(t - 0.5) = 62t - 31
Since the total distance covered is 234 miles, then
44t + 62t - 31 = 234
106t = 234 + 31 = 265
t = 265/106 = 2.5 hours
Answer:
1800 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in May = 75
It is given that miles driven in July is 6 times of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in May(75 miles).
Thus
No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in July = 6 * No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in May = 6*75 = 450 miles.
__________________________________________________
Another condition given that miles driven in June is 4 times of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in July(450miles as calculated above).
Thus
No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in June = 4 * No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in July = 4* 450 miles = 1800 miles.
No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in June is 1800 miles.
