Thirty years ago, police would check a highway for speeders by sending a helicopter up in the air and observing the time it would take for a car to travel between two wide lines placed 1/10th of a mile apart. On one occasion, a car was observed to take 7.2 seconds to travel this distance. What is the speed of this car in miles per hour?

Work Shown:

1/10 = 0.1

0.1 mile = 7.2 seconds

1 mile = 72 seconds (multiply both sides by 10)

1/72 mile = 1 second (divide both sides by 72)

3600/72 = 3600 seconds (multiply both sides by 3600)

50 miles = 3600 seconds

50 miles = 1 hour

The car's speed is 50 mph

Note: 1 hour = 60 min = 60*60 = 3600 seconds

step-by-step explanation:

$30×5=$150

$150 minus $130=$20

$20÷5=$4.

step-by-step explanation:

hello and welcome!

so, when we see the words "proportional" along with a table, we need to know that we're looking numbers that divide by the same thing.

looking at this table, we simply have to do a trial and error, and divide to see which numbers have the same quotient. if you look at choice a & c, they both have equal quotients for three of the numbers, with one exception, so those can't be the answer. looking at b, there is no similarity, so that can't be it. then, we see d; if you divide all the numbers in the table, you'll see that they all divide by two, which is a proportional relationship, and our answer!

also, always remember that the x will always be the number that goes into y, and somewhere behind this table, is a formula. for this specific table, the formula would be:

since our x-value is being divided by two to get the y-value. and if they were to ask for more numbers in the series, this is the formula you would use to find them.
