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: 10/36
Step-by-step explanation:
One bag is 5 1/4 pounds so you need to multiply that by 1 1/2 or 3/2 as an improper fraction
21/4 x 3/2 =63/8 change that to a proper fraction to get 7 7/8 lbs
56.25% as a decimal is 0.5625
0.5626 is equal to 5625/10000, which can be simplified to 9/16
This is because the common factor of 5625 and 10000 is 625. We divide the numerator and denominator by 625 to achieve 9/16.
