Nolan rides his bike 63 miles in 270 minutes. What is his average speed in miles per hour?

1 answer:

5 0

270 minutes = 4,5 hours = 4 hours and 30 minutes
60 minutes = 1 hour

63 miles per 270 minutes
x miles per 1 hour = 60 minutes

$\dfrac{63[miles]}{x[miles]} = \dfrac{270[minutes]}{60[minutes]}$

$63 \cdot 60 = 270x$
$3780 = 270x\quad |:270$
$x=14[miles]$

His average speed is 14 miles per hour.

An algebra test contains 38 problems. Some of the problems are worth 2 points each. The rest of the questions are worth 3 points

Naily [24]

Let 'x' be the problems worth 2 points.

Let 'y' be the problems worth 3 points.

Since, there are 38 total problems.

So, $x+y =38$ (equation 1)

x = 38-y

Since, a perfect score is 100 points.

So, $2x+3y = 100$ (equation 2)

Substituting the value of 'x', we get

$2(38-y)+3y=100$

$76-2y+3y=100$

$76+y = 100$

y = 24

x+y = 38

x = 38-24 = 14

So, 14 problems are worth 2 points and 24 problems are worth 3 points.

There are 375 books sold at Sid's Bookstore. The table below summarizes these books by genre. This info is presented in circle g

When you plot the data in a pie graph, it looks like that shown in the picture. A circle is formed when you draw a point and connect it from end to end forming a complete revolution. One revolution equals 360°. Therefore, each piece of pie for each type of book is a fraction of one revolution. The fraction can be determined by dividing the number for a specific type of book to the total number of books. Specifically, the fraction for the Self Help slice would be 90/375 which is equal to 0.24 or 24%. Then, 24% of 360 is 86.4. Therefore, the central angle formed by the Self Help slice is 86.4°.
