The faster you drive the less time it takes to reach your destination (a driver's speed is inversely proportional to the drive t

ime). Mike takes 45 minutes to
travel from point a to point b at 60 miles and hour. Kelly takes the same trip at 80 miles an hour. How long does the trip take Kelly? (Round to the nearest
whole number)

Answer:

The time the trip takes Kelly is approximately 34 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The topic examined by the question is the relationship between speed, distance traveled, and time which is presented here as follows;

Speed, \ S = \dfrac{Distance \ travelled \ 'd'}{Time \ taken \ 't'}

The given parameters of the journey are;

The time it takes Mike to travel from point 'a' to point 'b' = 45 minutes

The speed with which Mike travels = 60 miles an hour

The speed with which Kelly travels the same trip = 80 miles an hour

Let 'd' represent the distance from point 'a' to point 'b', and let 't' represent the time the trip takes Kelly

For Mike, we have;

S = d/t

∴ d = S × t

Where;

S = 60 miles per hour

t = 45 minutes = 0.75 hour

d = 60 miles/hour × 0.75 hour = 45 miles

The distance from point 'a' to point 'b' = d = 45 miles

Similarly, from S = d/t, we have for Kelly the time 't' given as follows;

t = d/S

Where;

S = 80 miles/hour

d = 45 miles

∴ t = 45 miles/(80 miles/hour) = 9/16 hour = 9/16 hour × 60 min/hour = 33.75 minutes

The time the trip takes Kelly = 33.75 minutes ≈ 34 minutes.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Except k=7, any real number for k would cause the system of equations to have no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

In general a system of equations can be represented as ax+by=c and dx+ey=f. In order this system of equations to have NO SOLUTIONS a/d=b/a≠c/f. In our example a=6, b=4, c=14, d=3, e=2 and f=k. To apply the formula above, 6/3=4/2≠14/k. Hence k≠7. It can be concluded that except k=7, any real number for k would cause the system of equations to have no solutions.

Just for information, if k=7 the system will have infinitely many solutions.
