The average speed is the distance divided by the time.
Total distance:
12.8 miles + 17.2 miles = 30 miles
Total time:
noon - 9:00 a.m. = 3 hours
6:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. = 5 hours
Total time = 3 hours + 5 hours = 8 hours
average speed = 30 miles / 8 hours = 3.75 miles per hour
Set the equation to 125.
15x+50= 125
Subtract 50.
15x= 75
Divide by 15 into both sides.
x= 5

Answer:
56
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two ways the answer to this question can be determined
<u><em>Method 1 : the fast method </em></u>
We know that 8 is twice 4
4 x 2 = 8
The ratio of diet soda = 8
the ratio of regular sodas = 4
Diet sodas = 112
the number of regular sodas = 112 / 2 = 56
<u><em>Method 2 : The long method </em></u>
I would first determine the total number of diet and regular sodas. Let the total number be represented by d
from the question, the following equation can be derived :
(8/12) x d = 112
divide both sides of the equation by 12/8 to determine the value of d
d = 112 x (12/8) = 168
We can now derive a value for the number of regular soda
regular sodas = ( ratio of regular sodas / total soda) x total number of sodas
(4/12) x 168 = 56
Answer:
it says 8
