Answer:

C.24

Step-by-step explanation:

First multiply 8 by 24 this is so you know how much 24 adults would be. You will get 192 so next you need to subtract 192 from the total money 272 to get 80 and 80 should be how much all of the kids cost now to check and make sure there are 40 people divide 80 by 5 to get 16 which is the total number of kids no just add 16 and 24 together to get 40

Dwayne drove 18 miles to the airport to pick up his father and then returned home. On the return trip he was able to drive an av
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

30 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d = distance (in miles)

Let t = time (in hours)

Let v = average speed driving <u>to</u> the airport (in mph)

⇒ v + 15 = average speed driving <u>from</u> the airport (in mph)

Using:  distance = speed x time

\implies t=\dfrac{d}{v}

Create two equations for the journey to and from the airport, given that the distance one way is 18 miles:

\implies t=\dfrac{18}{v}  \ \ \textsf{and} \ \  t=\dfrac{18}{v+15}

We are told that the total driving time is 1 hour, so the sum of these expressions equals 1 hour:

\implies \dfrac{18}{v} +\dfrac{18}{v+15}=1

Now all we have to do is solve the equation for v:

\implies \dfrac{18(v+15)}{v(v+15)} +\dfrac{18v}{v(v+15)}=1

\implies \dfrac{18(v+15)+18v}{v(v+15)}=1

\implies 18(v+15)+18v=v(v+15)

\implies 18v+270+18v=v^2+15v

\implies v^2-21v-270=0

\implies (v-30)(v+9)=0

\implies v=30, v=-9

As v is positive, v = 30 only

So the average speed driving to the airport was 30 mph

(and the average speed driving from the airport was 45 mph)
