Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
1.5 x 7=10.5
10.5/16= .65625
The guy who links files is pretty annoying amiright...
Divide 18/35 by 3/5 to get your answer. You can also multiply 3/5 by 35/18.
5 goes into 35 7 times, so cross out the 5 and 35 and put 1 and 7. 3 goes into 18 6 times, so cross out the 3 and 18 and put 1 and 6.
Now you have 1/1 times 7/6. Your answer is 7/6.
Speed=distance/time
suppose the distance of the first day is d, and the time is t
distance of the second day: d+0.17d=1.17d
time of the second day: t+0.2t=1.2t
speed of the second day: 1.17d/1.2t=0.975(d/t)=(1-0.025)(d/t)
so the speed of the second day is 2.5% slower than the first day.
