Answer:

David's average speed is 55 mph and Andrew's average speed is 70 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let David's speed be s.

Average speed is given as:

speed = distance / time

They both spent the same time, t.

David's speed is:

s = 110 / t

=> t = 110 / s

Andrew travels 15 mph faster than David.

Andrew's speed is:

(15 + s) = 140 / t

=> t = 140 / (15 + s)

Therefore, since they spent the same time:

110 / s = 140 / (15 + s)

Cross multiply:

110(15 + s) = 140s

1650 + 110s = 140s

1650 = 140s - 110s

30s = 1650

s = 1650 / 30

s = 55 mph

Andrew's speed is:

15 + 55 = 70 mph

Therefore, David's average speed is 55 mph and Andrew's average speed is 70 mph.

Mary Ann needs 3/7 cup of sugar to bake a cake she has 3/5 cup does she have enough to bake the cake yes or no
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Mary Ann does have enough sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5 is greater than 3/7 which means that she does have enough sugar. This is because the denominator 5 is smaller than the denominator 7, and since they have the same numerator, the fraction with the smaller denominator is greater.
