Answer:

Her speed on the summit was 35 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Her speed on the summit was "x" mph while her speed while climbing was "x - 10" mph. The distance she rode uphill was 55 miles and on the summit it was 28 miles. The total time she explored the mountain was 3 hours. Therefore:

time uphill = distance uphill / speed uphill = 55 / (x - 10)

time summit = distance summit / speed summit = 28 / x

total time = time uphill + time summit

3 = [55 / (x - 10)] + 28 / x

3 = [55*x + 28*(x - 10)]/[x*(x - 10)]

3*x*(x - 10) = 55*x + 28*x - 280

3x² - 30*x = 83*x - 280

3x²  - 113*x + 280 = 0

x1 = {-(-113) + sqrt[(-113)² - 4*(3)*(280)]}/(2*3) = 35 mph

x2 = {-(-113) - sqrt[(-113)² - 4*(3)*(280)]}/(2*3) = 2.67 mph

Since her speed on the uphill couldn't be negative the speed on the summit can only be 35 mph.

There are some nickels, dimes, and quarters in a large piggy bank. For every 2 nickels there are 3 dimes. For every 2 dimes ther
rodikova [14]

Answer: a) Number of nickels, dimes, and quarters are 80, 120, 300 respectively.

b) The coins are worth of 91 dollars i.e. $91 in the piggy bank.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

For every 2 nickels there are 3 dimes ,

So, their ratio will be 2:3

and for every 2 dimes there are 5 quarters.\,

So, their ratio will be 2:5

Now, we'll first find the ratio of nickles to dimes to quarters i.e.

Nickle  Dimes  Quarters

2            3

             2               5

So, it becomes ,

Nickle : Dimes : Quarters

2×2     : 3×2        : 3×5

4         : 6            :  15

Now, let the number of nickle be 4x

Let the number of dimes be 6x

Let the number of quarters  be 15x

According to question,

4x+6x+15x=500\\\\25x=500\\\\x=\frac{500}{25}=20

So, number of nickels is given by

4x=4\times 20=80

Number of dimes is given by

6x=4\times 20=120

Number of quarters is given by

15x=4\times 20=300

As we know that

1\ nickel=5\ cents\\\\1\ dime=10\ cents\\\\1\ quarter=25\ cents

So, According to our question, we get

80\times 5+120\times 10+300\times 25=400+1200+7500=9100\ cents\\\\1\ cent=0.01\ dollar\\\\9100\ cents=9100\times 0.01\ dollars=91\ dollars.

Hence,

a) Number of nickels, dimes, and quarters are 80, 120, 300 respectively.

b) the coins are worth of 91 dollars i.e. $91 in the piggy bank.
