It took Travis and Tony 40 minutes to skate 5 miles. The return trip took them 30 minutes. What was their average speed for the trip?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Travis and Tony took 40 minutes to skate 5 miles and the return trip took them 30 minutes

To find: average speed for the trip

Solution:

Total distance = 5 + 5 = 10 miles

Total time = 40 + 30 = 70 minutes

So,

Average speed for the trip = Total distance/Total time = miles/minute

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."

whole numbers.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the average monthly rainfall (in millimeters) model r(m) for the years 1900-2009 as a function of the month number m.

as we can see m is taken for the number of months for years 1900-2009.

we know that number of months can't be a negative number or decimal number or a fraction.

so, the number of months could be only positive whole numbers.

therefore, whole numbers is more appropriate for the domain of r.
