Answer:

a = 12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark is 6 years older than his brother Sam. Now, we are asked to represent Sam’s age by a. This means that if Sam is a years old, Mark is (a + 6) years old.

The sum of their ages is 30, this means that when we add their ages together, we get the sum of thirty.

Mathematically this means a + a + 6 = 30

2a + 6 = 30

This is the equation needed to get a. To get a , we proceed to solve the equation to completion.

2a = 30 - 6

2a = 24

a = 24/2

a = 12

in 2.5 hours, Mr. Castelli drives a distance of 125 miles. He wants to know his average driving speed in the meters per minute.
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

1,350 meters per min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Mr. Castelli covers 125 miles in 2.5 hours, the average speed = \frac{distance}{time}.

In miles per hr, average speed = \frac{125}{2.5} = 50 miles/hr.

Converting 50 miles/hr to km per hr:

If 1 miles = 1.62 km (unit conversion)

50 miles = 50*1.62 = 81 km/hr

Converting 81 km/hr to meters per hr:

1 km = 1,000 m (unit conversion)

81 km = 81*1,000 = 81,000 m/hr

Converting 81,000 m/hr to meters per minutes:

60 mins = 1 hr

Therefore, average speed = \frac{81,000}{60} = 1,350 meters/min

Average driving speed of Mr Castelli in meters per minute = 1,350 meters per minute.
