first speed --- x mph

return speed -- x+16 mph

6/x + 6/(x+16) = 1

times each term by x(x+16)

6(x+16) + 6x = x(x+16)

x^2 + 4x - 96 = 0

(x-8)(x+12) = 0

x = 8 or x is a negative

her first speed was 8 mph

her return speed was 24 mph

check:

6/8 + 6/24 = 1 , that's good!

A car travels at a speed of 85 miles per hour. How far will it travel in 15 mins?
marusya05 [52]

In this question, we're trying to find how many miles a car travels in 15 minutes.

We know that the car travels at 85 mph.

However, we need to know how many miles it travels per minute.

To find this, we would divide 85 by 60.

85 ÷ 60 = 1.4166

The car drives at a speed of about 1.42 per minute.

We need to know how far it goes in 15 minutes, so multiply 1.42 by 15.

1.42 · 15 = 21.3

The car travels at a approximately 21.3 miles in 15 minutes.

Pleas help Calculate the shaded area give your answer to 3 significant figures
IgorC [24]

Answer:

116 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Shaded Area = area of the larger circle - area of the smaller circle

Area of the larger circle = πr²

Where,

r = 6.5 cm

Area = π*6.5² = 42.25π cm²

Area of smaller circle = πr²

Where,

r = 2.3 cm

Area = π*2.3² = 5.29π cm²

✔️Shaded area = 42.25π - 5.29π = 36.96π = 116.113264

Area = 116 cm² (3 S.F)
