Mara's family is driving to her grandmothers' house. the family travels 239.4 miles between the hours of 9: 10 a. m. to 1: 40 p. m. write an equation that mara can use to determine their average rate of travel, r, rounded to the nearest mile per hour.

53.2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Mara's family travels 239.4 miles between the hours of 9:10 a.m. to 1:40 p.m.

1:40 p.m. is 13:40.

Thus, they traveled for

13 hours 40 minutes - 9 hours 10 minutes = 4 hours 30 minutes

that is hours.

Use formula:

where

D = distance

r = rate

t = time.

In your case,

D = 239.4 miles

t = 4.5 hours

Hence,

answer:   35 % is the probability of a late departure or an early arrival.

step-by-step explanation:

let l represents the late departure and e represents the early departure.

then, according to the question,

p(l) = 12 %,   p(e) = 27 % and = 4 %

and, we have to find out,

but, we know that,

which is the required equation that will use to find the probability of a late departure or an early departure.

therefore,   the probability of a late departure or an early arrival =   35 %

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
