Work Shown:
Multiply across the rows to form a third column. Example: 9*90 = 810 in the first row.
The values in the third column add to 810+1440+1050 = 3300
Divide this over the total number of people which is 9+18+15 = 42
The mean is 3300/42 =78.571 approximately which rounds to 78.6
Answer:
2 hours, 150 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The relation between time, speed, and distance can be used to solve this problem. It can work well to consider just the distance between the drivers, and the speed at which that is changing.
<h3>Separation distance</h3>Jason got a head start of 20 miles, so that is the initial separation between the two drivers.
<h3>Closure speed</h3>Jason is driving 10 mph faster than Britton, so is closing the initial separation gap at that rate.
<h3>Closure time</h3>The relevant relation is ...
time = distance/speed
Then the time it takes to reduce the separation distance to zero is ...
closure time = separation distance / closure speed = 20 mi / (10 mi/h)
closure time = 2 h
Britton will catch up to Jason after 2 hours. In that time, Britton will have driven (2 h)(75 mi/h) = 150 miles.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The attached graph shows the distance driven as a function of time from when Britton started. The distances will be equal after 2 hours, meaning the drivers are in the same place, 150 miles from their starting spot.
Answer: 90 visitors per hour
Explanation: "Per hour" means in 1 hour, so we can rewrite the given statement using fractions as <em>450 visitors/5 hours = __visitors/1 hour</em>.
To find out what goes in the bank, notice that we
have a 1 in the denominator of our second fraction.
So we want to find a fraction that is equivalent
to 450/5 that has a 1 in the denominator.
If we divide the numerator and denominator of 450/5 by 5,
we get the equivalent fraction 90/1 or <em>90 visitors/1 hour</em>.
So now we have <em>90 visitors/1 hour = __visitors/1 hour</em>.
So a 90 must go in the blank.
This means that the museum sees 90 visitors per hour.
