Answer:
53.2 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Mara's family travels 239.4 miles between the hours of 9:10 a.m. to 1:40 p.m.
1:40 p.m. is 13:40.
Thus, they traveled for
13 hours 40 minutes - 9 hours 10 minutes = 4 hours 30 minutes
that is 
hours.
Use formula:
where
D = distance
r = rate
t = time.
In your case,
D = 239.4 miles
t = 4.5 hours
Hence,
Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment
Required
Find x
The figure in the attachment is a quadrilateral and the angles in a quadrilateral add up to 360.
So, we have:
90 + 6x + 5+ 10x - 40 + 4x + 5 = 360
Collect like terms
6x + 10x + 4x = 360 - 90 - 5 + 40 - 5
20x = 300
Divide both sides by 20
x = 15
Hence, the value of x is 15
This is an exponential equation that can be represented by the following:
f(x) = a(b)^x
In this case...
25143 = a(0.66)^3
25143 is the population after 3 hours.
3 is the amount of time in hours.
0.66 represents the percent of the population remaining after each hour (66% as there is a 34% decline each hour).
We must solve for a, which is the initial population.
First, simplify (0.66)^3 to 0.2874.
25143 = 0.2874a
Now divide both sides by 0.2874 to isolate a.
a = 87455
There were initially 87,455 people within the city. I wouldn't want to be in that place!
The answer to the question is 4
