Complete question:

Anty was riding his bike to school at a speed of 12 mph. When he was <u>half </u>of the way there, he got a flat tire. His mother drove him the rest of the way at a speed of 48 mph. What was his average speed?

Answer:

His average speed is 19.2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

speed of Anty to school half of the way, v₁ = 12 mph

speed of Anty when his mother drove him half of the way, v₂ = 48 mph

The average speed of Anty is calculated as;

V_{average} = \frac{Total \ distance }{Total \ time }

The value of the average speed is closer to 12 mph than 48 mph because Anty spent more time moving at 12 mph than at 48 mph.

Let the equal distance travel at each speed = 96 miles

Time taken at 12 mph = \frac{96 \ mile}{12 \ m/h} = 8 \ hours

Time taken at 12 mph = \frac{96 \ mile}{48 \ m/h} = 2 \ hours

Average speed = \frac{Total \ distance}{Total \ time } = \frac{96 \ mile \ + \ 96 \ mile}{2\ hr \ + \ 8\ hr} = \frac{192 \ miles}{10 \ hrs} = 19.2 \ mph

Also, you can assume any other equal distance traveled at each speed, the average speed will still be 19.2 mph.

<u>Check:</u> let the equal distance traveled at each speed = 480 miles

Time taken at 12 mph = 480/12 = 40 hours

Time taken at 48 mph = 480/ 48 = 10 hours

Average speed = (480 + 480) / (40 + 10)

                          = 19.2 mph

Which of these is a simplified form of the equation 15x + 4 = 5 + 3x + 1x? (2 points)
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

11x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

15x+4=5+3x+1x       Bring everything with an x in front of it to the left side

15x-3x-1x+4=5         Simplify the x values

11x+4=5                    Bring the 4 to the right side

11x=5-4

11x=1

Nat2105 [25]
In the ratio, the numbers are 2 for the shortest side, 3 for the middle sized side, and 4 for the longest side.

2 is to 6 cm as 4 is to x

2/6 = 4/x

2x = 4 * 6

2x = 24

x = 12

Answer: The longest side measures 12 cm.

astra-53 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

ah, here you go.

come on, now. you know this now ...

again, mutually exclusive attributes in the table (no overlap here) allow us to add the numbers for a total :

4+2+12+10 = 28 students in total.

how many of those 28 fulfill our desired criteria (has a brother) ?

well, it is the sum of the column "has a brother", as it does not matter, if there is also a sister or not.

so, it is 4 + 12 = 16

therefore, the probability to pick a student randomly, who has a brother is

16/28 = 4/7 = 0.571428571...
