Answer:

62.5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Peter :

Speed = 50mph

Start Time = 9 a. M

Emily :

Start time = 9:30

Speed = x

In other to catch up at 11:30 :

Peter (11:30 - 9:00) = 2hours 30 minutes = 2.5 hrs

Total distance moved by Peter :

Speed * time = 50 * 2.5 = 125miles

For Emily to cover 125 miles in (11:30 - 9:30) = 2 hours

Speed = distance / time

Speed = 125 miles / 2 hours

Speed = 62.5 miles per hour

How many blank pages remain
Ierofanga [76]
B) 14. 

If you start with subtracting the 8 pages from 50, you get 42 remaining pages. Then it says 2/3 of the REMAINING pages so you divide 42 into thirds. 42/3=14. You want 2/3 of that, so you multiply the 14 by two to get 28 (it's like there are three piles of 14 pages and you want only 2 out of the three piles). So now you've used 28 pages + the original 8. You've used a TOTAL of 36 pages. Subtract 36 from 50 and you get 14 left.

qwelly [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
