Average speed: 72 mph
Explanation:
To get the car's average speed, all you really need to know is
the total distance travelled by the car
the total time it needed to cover that distance
In your case, you know that the car travelled for a total of 60 miles and that it needed 50 minutes to do so.
Since you need to express the average speed in miles per hour, not miles per minute, you're going to have to use a simple conversion factor to get you from minutes to hours.
First, calculate the average speed in miles per minute

Answer:

1.2mph

5x10=50

so it 1

if 2x5=10=.2

then 2x5=10+50=1.2 due to the .1=5

or just do 60/50=1.2

In a given course a student receives preliminary examination grades of 81, 85, and 95. The final examination is weighed for one-
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

B. 96

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent score of final third exam.

We have been given that in a given course a student receives preliminary examination grades of 81, 85, and 95.

Let us find average of preliminary scores.

\frac{81+85+95}{3}=\frac{261}{3}=87

We have been given that the final examination is weighed for one-third and the average of the preliminary grades is weighed as 2/3 of the final grade. This means that final grade is equally weighed into 3 parts. The two parts are 87 each and third part is x.

Using our given information, we can set an equation as:

\frac{87+87+x}{3}=90

\frac{174+x}{3}=90

\frac{174+x}{3}*3=90*3

174+x=270

174-174+x=270-174

x=96

Therefore, the final examination grade should be 96 for a semester average of 90.

5x - y + z = -6<br> 2x + 7y + 3z = 8<br> x + 2z = 6
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations given are:

 

 5x - y + z = -6   ------------- i

 2x + 7y + 3z = 8  ---------- ii

  x + 2z = 6 ----------------- iii

Let us deal with equation i and ii first since they have 3 variables x, y and z;

      5x - y + z = -6                 x 7

       2x + 7y + 3z = 8            x 1

    35x  - 7y + 7z  = -42   ----  iv

      2x  + 7y + 3z  = 8       ---- v

Add equation iv and v;

    37x + 10z  = -34 ------vi

So, let us solve equation vi and iii:

               x + 2z = 6 - ---------- iii   x 10

               37x + 10z  = -34  --- iv  x 2

    10x + 20z   = 60         vi

     74x + 20z  = -68        vii

Subtract vi  - vii;

      -64x  = 128

          x  = -2

So;    put x  = -2 into iii;

           x + 2z  = 6

           -2 + 2z  = 6

            2z  = 6 + 2  = 8

           z  = 4

Put x  = -2 and z = 4 into equation i;

  5(-2) - y + 4  =  - 6

   -10 -y  +4  = -6

       -6  - y  = -6

             -y  = 0

              y  = 0
