Answer:
40 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose grandma's house is 30 miles away (any distance would do but 30 is convenient).
Speed = distance / time
time = distance / speed
Time to get there = 30/60 = 1/2 hour.
Time to get back = 30/30 = 1 hour
Average speed = total distance/ total time
= (30 + 30) / ( 1 + 1/2)
= 60 / 1.5
= 40 miles per hour.
You cannot take the average of the speeds directly
(60+ 30)/2 = 45 is not correct as you cannot average ratios ( speed is a ratio).
Answer:
b = 3 , a = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
I hope you understand how I solved it
I will right it sideways. you can use this strategy later on if you would like. I put (parentheses) around what is optional to include. the = to the left of the second word number is to show that the number is equal. if there are two different variables you would put a crossed out equal sign.
_______________
eight= 8 l
more than= +
six= 6
times= x
(a)number= n l
_______________
added (to)= +
_______________
one= 1 l
more than= +
= number= n l
_______________
(I tried to do parentheses)
then, you rewrite what you wrote beside the words!
(8+6n)+(1+n)
that is your equation!
