The greatest common factor between 72 and 54 is 18.
Answer
The distance from the house to the lake is (2.5 hr)*(48 mi/hr) = 120 miles. The rerurn trip would take (120 mi)/(40 mi/hr) = 3 hours. Distance equals rate times time, so the distance to the lake is 2 1/2 hours times 48 miles per hour.
I hope this helps
"inversely proportional," please.
z = k/x
When x is 3, z = 6; find k: 6 = k/3, or k = 18.
Then z = 18/x. When x = 12, z = 18/12 = 2/3 (answer)
Explanation:
When the points are plotted on a graph, it is easy to see that the slope of AC is -2 and the slope of BC is 1/2. These slope values have a product of -1, so the corresponding line segments are perpendicular to each other.

If you have studied vectors, you can find the dot product of AC with BC:
AC = (-5, 3) -(-2, -3) = (-3, 6)
BC = (6, 1) -(-2, -3) = (8, 4)
The dot product is ...
(-3, 6)·(8, 4) = (-3)(8) + (6)(4) = -24+24 = 0
When the dot product of vectors is zero, they are perpendicular.
U/72 = 2/4
means u/72 = 0.5
therefore u = 72*0.5
which equals 36
