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

Please help! A parallelogram has an area of 396 square centimeters and a height of 18 centimeters.
frosja888 [35]
The area formula for a parallelogram is base*height=area. Make an equation. You know the area and the height, so plug that into the equation, and you get x*18=396. Solve for x by dividing 396 by 18 and you get 22. So, the base is 22cm.
