6 0

Step-by-step explanation:

48 oranges in 5 minutes means she picked 48 oranges in 300 seconds.

Divide 48 by 300 to get what she would pick in one second.

This equals 0.16

Multiply 0.16 by 120 seconds [how many seconds are in two minutes].

This equals 19.2 oranges in two minutes. As she cannot pick 0.2 of an orange, she could pick 19.

A car is driving away from a crosswalk. The formula d = t2 + 2t expresses the car's distance from the crosswalk in feet, d, in t

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

8 feet per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a car is driving away from a crosswalk. The formula $d=t^2+2t$ expresses the car's distance from the crosswalk in feet, d, in terms of the number of seconds, t, since the car started moving.

We will use average change formula to solve our given problem.

$\text{Average change}=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

$\text{Average change}=\frac{d(5)-d(1)}{5-1}$

$\text{Average change}=\frac{(5)^2+2(5)-((1)^2+2(1))}{4}$

$\text{Average change}=\frac{25+10-(1+2)}{4}$

$\text{Average change}=\frac{35-3}{4}\\\\\text{Average change}=\frac{32}{4}\\\\\text{Average change}=8$

Therefore, the the car's average speed over the given interval of time would be 8 feet per second.
