Answer:
The speed of Mr Solberg's scooter when there is no wind is 35 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
The time Mr. Solberg rides his scooter and cover 3 miles against the wind = The time Mr. Solberg rides his scooter and cover 4 miles with the wind
The speed of the wind = 5 miles per hour
Let v, represent the speed of Mr Solberg's scooter when there is no wind, we have;
Time = Distance/Speed
Mr Solberg's speed against the wind = v - 5
Mr Solberg's speed with the wind = v + 5
The distance covered at a given time, while riding against the wind = 3 miles
The distance covered at the same time, while riding with the wind = 4 miles
The time in both instances are therefore 3/(v - 5) = 4/(v + 5)
From which we have;
3 × (v + 5) = 4 × (v - 5)
3·v + 15 = 4·v - 20
20 + 15 = 4·v - 3·v
4·v - 3·v = 20 + 15
v = 35
The speed of Mr Solberg's scooter when there is no wind = v = 35 miles per hour.

Answer:
A. 8 gallons
B. Drive by car is $59.4 cheaper than travel by train
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the scenario, given data are as follows,
Total drive = 400 miles
Total drive per gallon = 50 miles
Fuel cost per gallon = $4.45
A. So, Total fuel required to drive 400 miles can be calculated as follows,
Total fuel required = Total drive ÷ Total drive per gallon
By putting value, we get,
Total fuel required = 400 ÷ 50
= 8 gallons
B. Total cost if drive by car = 8 gallons × $4.45 = $35.6
Cost if travel by train = $95
Hence it is clearly shows that drive by car is much cheaper than travel by train.
Cost saved by travel by car = $95 - $35.6 = $59.4
So, drive by car is $59.4 cheaper than travel by train.
