Let d be the distance between the two houses. Considering the formula

d=vt

where d is the distance, v is the velocity and t is the time, we can solve it for the time to get

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

So, the two trips take the following time:

t_1 = \dfrac{d}{30},\quad t_2=\dfrac{d}{40}

To get the average speed, we need to consider the two trips together. Globally, the person traveled a distance of 2d, and the global time is the sum of the two times. We have

v=\dfrac{d_{TOT}}{t_{TOT}}=\dfrac{2d}{\frac{d}{30}+\frac{d}{40}}=\dfrac{2}{\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{40}}=\dfrac{2}{\frac{7}{120}}=\dfrac{240}{7}

Answer:

The value is  C = 30729\  c

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The power rating of the stove is  P = 4.4 KW  = 4.4 *10^{3} \  W

   The duration of its use everyday is t_1  = 70 \ minutes  = 1.167 \ hours    

    The rating of the light bulbs is P_2'  = 150 W

   The number is n = 7

   The power rating of the total  bulb is  P_2 = 7 * 150 = 1050 \  W

    The duration of its use everyday is  t_2  = 7 hours

    The power rating of miscellaneous appliance P_3 = 1.8 \ KW = 1.8 *10^{3} \  W

    The duration of its use everyday is t_3 = 1 hour

     The power rating of hot water P = 4 KW  = 4 *10^{3} \  W

      The duration of its use everyday is t_4 = 120 \ minutes  = 2 hours

Generally the total electrical energy used in 1 month is mathematically represented as

    E = P_1 * t_1 * 30 + P_2 * t_2 * 30 + P_3 * t_3 * 30+ P_4 * t_4 * 30

=>  E = 4.4*10^{3} * 1.167  * 30 + 1050 * 7 * 30 + 1.8 *1 * 30+ 4*10^{3} * 2 * 30

=>  E = 614598  \ W \cdot h

=>   E = 614.6  \  K W \cdot h

Generally the monthly electricity  bill is mathematically represented as

    C = 614.6 * 50

=> C = 30729\  c
