Answer:

The speed of the faster cyclist is 15 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the slower cyclist be x miles per hour

The speed of the faster is 3 times this

Mathematically, we have this as 3 * x miles per hour = 3x miles per hour

Now;

distance = speed * time

In 4 hours, the distance covered by the slower will be;

x * 4 = 4x miles

The faster;

3x * 4 = 12x miles

Since they are riding opposite each other, they would have covered a total distance of 80 miles when they meet

Thus, we have that;

12x + 4x = 80

16x = 80

x = 80/16

x = 5

The speed of the faster is;

3x miles per hour

Substitute the value of x here

That will be;

3 * 5 = 15 miles per hour

His conduct at the state dinner was a cavalcade
Ne4ueva [31]

(C) "gaffe"

A gaffe is a mistake. The text would read "His conduct at the state dinner was a cavalcade of blunders, one gaffe following another until the evening ended" if this phrase were added. The comma signifies that the word that is missing is equivalent to the word error.

A social misstep can be described using either the words "blunder" or "gaffe." The answer is not (A). A "query" is an enquiry or question. (B) is the wrong answer. Gibe is slang for a mocking comment.

The answer is not (D). Tryst is often used to describe an amorous encounter. The answer is not (E). An expression of appreciation, respect, or admiration is referred to as a "tribute.".

The scale for a map is 20 miles = 1/2 inch. The distance between two towns on the map is 3 3/4 inches. What is the actual distan
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

150 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1/2 of an inch is 20 miles, we can assume that 1/4 of an inch is 10 miles, since half of 1/2 is 1/4 and 1/2 of 20 is 10.

Equipped with this information, we can divide 3 by 1/2 or multiply 3 by the reciprical, 2/1 to get how much we should multiply 20 by.

3*2=6

20*6=120

Then we can multiply 10 by 3 and add that on our answer, since there are still 3/4s left and 1/4=10 miles.

10*3=30

120+30=150

The actual distance is 150 miles.

Hope this helps!
