Answer:

<h3>246.6 meters per hour</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Speed uphill 100meters per hour

Speed on flat ground 120 meters per hour

Speed uphill  150 meters per hour.

Required

The average speed.

Step two:

To get the average speed, let us add all the individual speeds and divide by 3(three different speeds), then multiply the result by 2(the return trip)

Average speed= (100+120+150)*2/3

Average speed= 740/3

Average speed=  246.6 meters per hour

Norma-Jean [14]
For this case we have the following function:
 y = 1.8 ^ x
 The intersection with the y axis occurs when x = 0.
 We have then:
 y = 1.8 ^ 0
 y = 1
 In this case, the intersection with the y-axis represents the original size of the poster.
 Answer:
 
the y-intercept of the graph represents:
 
the original size of the poster.

Tema [17]
Let's call Tacos t and Enchiladas e. 
Lily paid $9 for 2t and 3e
Alex paid $12.50 for 3t and 4e.
Thus the equations would be. 
2t + 3e = 9.00
3t + 4e = 12.50

You are setting up a zip line in your yard. You map out your yard in a coordinate plane. An equation of the line representing th
finlep [7]
The <u>correct answer</u> is:

9.2 ft.

Explanation:

The distance from a point (m,n) to a line Ax+By+C=0 is given by the formula:
d=\frac{|Am+Bn+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2}}

We first need to write our equation in the form Ax+By+C=0.
y=(-6/7)x+7

First we will add 6/7x to each side:
y+6/7x=(-6/7x)+7+(6/7x)
y+6/7x=7

Now we will subtract 7 from each side:
y+6/7x-7=7-7
y+6/7x-7=0

It will be easier to work with this equation if we do not have fractions.  We can accomplish this by multiplying everything by the denominator of the fraction, 7:
y(7)+(6/7x)(7)-7(7)=0
7y+(42/7)x-49=0
7y+6x-49=0

Now we rearrange the terms to the x term is in front:
6x+7y-49=0

This is in the form Ax+By+C=0, where A=6, B=7 and C=-49.

Substituting these into our formula above along with our coordinates from our point (m,n)=(6, 14) we have:
d=\frac{|Am+Bn+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2}}&#10;\\&#10;\\d=\frac{|6(6)+7(14)-49|}{\sqrt{6^2+7^2}}&#10;\\&#10;\\d=\frac{|36+98-49|}{\sqrt{36+49}}&#10;\\&#10;\\d=\frac{|85|}{\sqrt{85}}=\frac{85}{\sqrt{85}}=9.2&#10;

LenKa [72]

Answer:

54

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimate=Population size × Sample proportion

population size =  120

sample proportion = (9)/(9+6+5) = 9/20 (check on Cymath as a resource)

estimate = 120 x 9/20 = 54
