Judy spent 3 hours driving 165 miles She thinks

Mathematics

Step-by-step explanation:

she drove already 165 miles.

she will reach her destination, if she drives 4 more hours by going 65 miles/hour.

that would mean she would travel

65×4 = 260 miles

in these 4 hours.

so, the total trip is then 165 + 260 = 425 miles.

but what I find strange is that your teacher specified how long it took her to drive the first 165 miles.

as you can see above, it would make no difference for the calculation of the total trip length in miles.

this is either an attempt to confuse us, or the message is that Judy has to achieve an average of 65 miles/hour for the whole trip, and the problem definition was just imperfectly phrased.

if that is the case, then things look a bit different, as her average speed was only 165/3 = 55 miles/hour for the first 3 hours and 165 miles.

so,

(165 + x)/(3 + 4) hours = 65/hour

(165 + x)/7 hours = 65/hour

165 + x = 65 × 7 hours / hour = 65×7 = 455 miles

x = 455 - 165 = 290 miles

she would have to go

290 miles / 4 hours = 72.5 miles/hour

for these next 4 hours (and 290 miles) to reach an overall average speed of 65 miles/hour.

and the total trip would be then

165 + 290 = 455 miles

I am not sure, which your teacher wants here.

65 miles/hour average speed just for the next 4 hours, or to speed up that much for the next 4 hours that the overall trip average is then 65 miles/hour.

again, the phrasing of the problem definition suggests the first case, but the fact that the travel time for the first part of the trip is given could suggest the second case (as this information is not needed for the first case).

Sabina bought a samsung mobile set for rs.15750 after getting the discount of 10%. Find the price of mobile set before discount.
Elanso [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

90/100 * x = 15750

0.9 x = 15750

x = 15750/0.9

x = 17500

Now check this by taking 10% off. Do you get 15750?

Let's see

10/100 of 17500 = 1750

Subtract that from 17500

17500 - 1750 = 15750 which is exactly what you should get.

a student found the volume of a rectangular pyramid with a base area of 92 square meters and a height of 54 Meters to be 4968 cu
Naya [18.7K]
It is not correct. 

The student found the volume by multiplying the base area with the height. He forgot to divide it by 3.

Formula to find the volume of the pyramid = 1/3 base area x height

volume = 1/3 x 92 x 54 = 1656 square meters
