To find their average miles per hour we can divide the total miles by the hour used:
4 2/3 ÷ 1 2/3
=4x3+2/3 ÷ 1x3+2/3
=14/3 ÷ 5/3
In division, when we switch the place of numerator and denominator, we can change it to multiplication which makes the calculation easier as we can factorize the numbers.
=14/3 x 3/5
Factorize 3 in both amounts:
=14/1 x 5/1
=14/5
=2.8 miles/hour
Therefore their average speed is 2.8 miles/hour.

Step-by-step explanation: hope i helped
<span>The area of the base is x^2> The height is h. Each side of the box has area xh. There are 4 sides of the box so the total surface area of the box is x^2+4xh and that is equal to 1000. Solve that equation for h:
x^2+4xh = 1000 h = (1000-x^2)/4x so the Volume = x^2[(1000-x^2)/4x]
Simplify and get V = 250x-x^3/4
The volume will be a maximum when its first derivative is 0.
V' = 250-3/4x^2
Set to 0 and solve. x=18.26
Now plug into the volume function to find the maximum volume:
V=250(18.26)-(18.26)^3/4
V= 4564.35 - 1522.10 =3042.25</span>
