Answer:

63.6 miles per hour (63.6 mph)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know D = RT

D is distance in miles

R is rate in mph

T is time in hours

Since Taylor took 9.5 hours with an average speed of 69 Miles an hour, total distance is:

D = RT

D = 69 * 9.5 = 655.5 miles

Now,

In 4.5 hours, he drove at 75 miles per hours, so distance he covered is:

75 * 4.5 = 337.5

So for the remaining 9.5 - 4.5 = 5 hours, he drove a distance of 655.5 - 337.5 = 318 miles. His rate would be:

D = RT

318 = R(5)

R = 318/5 = 63.6 miles per hour (63.6 mph)

Assess the extent to which bad road use has a direct impact on the physical,emotional,social,and economic aspects to the family
Dahasolnce [82]
It is true that bad road condition does have a direct impact on the physical, emotional and economic aspects to the family, the community and the country. Bad roads can cause accidents which directly impacts a person physically. Mentally it is very stressful for a person to drive on bad roads. He or she has to be extra careful regarding potholes and other damages that have happened to the road. Economically bad roads can be the reason for price rise of products as time required to move a product via road is more. Also the cost of transport increases drastically.

Consider the conjecture that the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is ALWAYS irrational. To try to prove this co
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

B) irrational. Since an irrational number cannot equal a rational number.  

The premise that c is rational is false

Step-by-step explanation:

The assumption that c is rational means that the difference c-a must be rational. That difference is b, so b=c-a would mean that b must be rational. But b is defined to be irrational. Since an irrational number cannot equal a rational number, a contradiction arises and the assumption that c is rational must be false. Therefore the sum (c) must be irrational. (B)

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Average speed is (total distance)/(total time).

To find the total time we need to do some division.

Time for 200 miles=200/50=4 hours.

Time for 100=100/40=5/2 hours.

Total time=13/2 hours. Total distance=200+100=300 miles.

Av speed=300/(13/2)=300×2/13=600/13=46.15 mph approx.

bija089 [108]
I found a graph with the same problem, so I guess this is the graph to be based on. To find the rate, just determine the slope between any two points along the line. Suppose these points are: (30,10) and (50,20).

Slope = (20 - 10)/(50 - 30) = 1/2

<em>The correct answer should be: the rate of change is 1 cm per 2 weeks, or 1/2.</em>
