Answer:
there are 125 cars in the parking lot
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem statement gives you the relationship between their speeds, and it gives you information you can use to find their total speed. You solve this by finding the total speed, then the proportion of that belonging to Bill.
The total speed is (120 mi)/(3 h) = 40 mi/h.
The speed ratio is ...
... Bill : Joe = 3 : 1
so the speed ratio Bill : Total is ...
... 3 : (3+1) = 3:4.
Bill's speed is (3/4)×(40 mi/h) = 30 mi/h.
73 feet per second
Steps-
Miles to cover- 50 miles = 50*5280 feet = 264,000 feet
Time it takes- 1 hour = 1*60*60 seconds = 3,600 seconds
So speed is- 264,000 feet per 3,600 seconds = 264,000 / 3,600 = 73.33 ft per second
