Answer:
30 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d = distance (in miles)
Let t = time (in hours)
Let v = average speed driving <u>to</u> the airport (in mph)
⇒ v + 15 = average speed driving <u>from</u> the airport (in mph)
Using: distance = speed x time

Create two equations for the journey to and from the airport, given that the distance one way is 18 miles:

We are told that the total driving time is 1 hour, so the sum of these expressions equals 1 hour:

Now all we have to do is solve the equation for v:







As v is positive, v = 30 only
So the average speed driving to the airport was 30 mph
(and the average speed driving from the airport was 45 mph)
Hello!
To find the fraction of the apartments that have not been scheduled to receive new carpet, we need first need find the number of apartments not receiving new carpet, by subtracting the total amount of apartments, by the 75 that have been scheduled.
120 - 75 = 45 apartments
Next, we need to create a fraction. Since 45 out of 120 apartments not are scheduled to get new carpeting, the fraction of these values is 45/120. This can be reduced to 3/8.
Therefore, your final answer is 45/120, simplified to 3/8.
