Answer:

5.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question states that this point is on segment LM, with the distance between this point and L\! being (3/5) the distance between L to M.

It could be shown (using a pair of similar right triangles) that the (3/5) ratio applies not only to the (sloped) distance between this point and L, but to the vertical distance as well.

The vertical distance between this point and L\! would also be (3/5) the vertical distance between \! L and M.

The vertical distance between \! L and M is the difference between their y coordinates, 8 - 1 = 7.

The vertical distance between this point and L would be (3/5) of the vertical distance between L\! and M\!, 7 \times (3/5) = 21/5.

Since M\! is above L\!, any point on the segment between these two points would also be above L. Add the vertical distance between \! L and the requested point to the y coordinate of L\!\! to find the y\! coordinate of the requested point: (21/5) + 1 = 26/5 = 5.2.

Peter tracks the goals he scores in 9 soccer games. In two games Peter scored 2 goals each, in one game he scored 0 goals, in tw
Reika [66]

The average number of goals per game Peter scores, rounded to one decimal place is 1.6

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

In first two games Peter scored 2 goals each. So, total score in two games = (2×2)= 4

In one game he scored 0 goal and in next two games he scored 3 goals each, so the total is (3×2)= 6

In the last four games he scored 1 goal in each, so the total is (1×4)= 4

So, the total score in all 9 games =4+0+6+4=14

Thus, the average number of goals = \frac{14}{9}= 1.5555....

So, the average number of goals per game Peter scores, rounded to one decimal place is 1.6

A certain 90-mile trip took 2 hours. Exactly 1/3 of the distance traveled was by rail and this part of the trip took 1/5 of the
antiseptic1488 [7]

The average rate, in miles per hour, of the rail portion of the trip is; D: 75

<h3>How to calculate the average speed?</h3>

Since exactly 1/3 of the distance travelled was by rail, then we can say that;

(1/3) * (90) = 30 miles

We are told that part of the trip took 1/5 of the travel time. Thus;

Time it takes to travel that distance is:

(1/5) * (2) = 2/5 of an hour

Average rate is;

30/(2/5) = 150/2 = 75 mph
