Answer:

60 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Total distance covered d = 440 miles

Average speed in the first 4 hours v1 = 50 mph

Total time taken for the whole trip t = 8:00 to 4:00pm

t = 16:00-8:00 = 8 hours

Firstly we need to calculate the distance covered during the first 4 hours;

d1 = average speed × time = v1 × t1

t1 = 4

d1 = 50 × 4 = 200 miles

Then we need to calculate the distance covered in the second period of the journey;

d = d1 + d2

d2 = d - d1

Substituting the values;

d2 = 440 - 200

d2 = 240 miles

The time taken for the second period of travel t2;

t2 = t -t1 = 8-4

t2 = 4 hours

Average speed = distance travelled ÷ time taken

The average speed for the second part of the trip v2 is;

v2 = d2 ÷ t2

Substituting t2 and d2;

v2 = 240 miles ÷ 4 hours

v2 = 60 mph

The average speed during the second part of the trip is 60 mph

Answer:

4. Six workers are hired to weed a field by
user100 [1]

Answer:

594 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle is length times width. We can find the area of each workers plot by multiplying 9 and 11 to get 99 sq feet. There is six workers, and therefore six plots of land, so we'd take our 99 sq feet and count that six times to get 594 square feet.
