John went on a bike ride to the store 4 miles away. If it took John 3/10 of an hour to get there and 1/2 of an hour to get back,
what was his average rate of speed (miles per hour) for the entire trip?
1 answer:
The round trip was 8 miles ( 4 + 4 = 8)
The total time for the trip is 3/10 + 1/2
Rewrite 1/2 as 5/10
Now add 3/10 + 5/10 = 8/10 = 4/5 hour for the 8 mile trip.
Now to find miles per hour, divide total miles by total time:
8 miles / 4/5 hour
When you divide by a fraction flip the fraction over and multiply:
8 x 5/4 = 40/4 = 10
The average rate was 10 miles per hour.

First, we need to find the area of both the tile and cardboard, so we can calculate how much tile will fit in the cardboard
In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.
Step 01:
Data
7.1 x 10-3
standard form = ?
Step 02:
standard form
7.1 x 10-3 ====> 0,0071
The answer is:
0,0071
12,351 ~ 12,400 I rounded 12,351 to 12,400 because when there is 5 when you round,the hundred goes up.
