Inge is competing in a 400 m race. She runs at a constant speed of 4.6 m/s for the first 150 m, then 4.2 m/s for 40 seconds. The remainder of the race takes her 38 seconds to complete. What is Inge's average speed for the entire race to 1 dp?

9514 1404 393

  3.6 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

To find Inge's average speed for the race, we need to know her total distance (400 m) and her total time. The times for the 2nd and 3rd portions of the race are given, but we need to figure the time for the first portion. That will be ...

  time = distance/speed

  time = (150 m)/(4.6 m/s) = 32.609 s . . . . time for first 150 m

Then Inge's average speed is ...

  (400 m)/(32.609 s + 40 s + 38 s) = (400 m)/(110.609 s) ≈ 3.6 m/s

tickets for the harlem globetrotters

show at michigan state university in

2010 cost $16, $23, or, for vip seats, $40.

total revenue = 16x + 23y + 40z

if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, sales of all three kinds of tickets would

total $46,575.

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575, how many of each kind of ticket would

have been sold?

solve for x, y and z

x − 9z = 0

x − y − z = 55

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575

x = 1170

y = 985

z = 130

welcome!

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
