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

Answer:
1.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The scale factor is
Is a reduction
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The scale factor is the ratio of the corresponding side of resulting triangle by the corresponding side of the first triangle
Let
z-----> the scale factor
x------> the corresponding side of resulting triangle
y------> the corresponding side of the first triangle
so
In this problem we have
substitute
The scale factor is less than one
therefore
Is a reduction
Is there more to questions. you can solve it with little info
1) You have vertical angles here. This means the big and small triangles are similar, meaning the ratio of corresponding sides of the two triangles are equal.
In this case, 32cm corresponds to 4cm and 40cm corresponds to x. To find x, set up the ratio as follows: 4/32 = x/40.
4/32 can be reduce to 1/8. Multiply each side by 40 to isolate x. you get 1/8 * 40
This yields x = 5 cm
2) set up a proportion, similar to the first question.
(x + 4)/8 = (2x + 1)/12
12(x + 4) = 8(2x + 1)
12x + 48 = 16x + 8
40 = 4x
x = 10
the length of BC is (x + 4) + (2x + 1) = 3x + 5
this means BC = 35
