A 3-column table with 5 rows. The first column has entries empty, distance travelled (meters), time (initial) (seconds), time (final) (seconds), elapsed time (seconds), average speed (meters per second). The second column labeled Trial A has entries 4.0, 2.0, 2.5, 1.5, 2.7. The second column labeled Trial B has entries 4.0, 1.5, 4.5, empty, empty. Use the data table on the left to complete the calculations. What is the elapsed time for Trial B? s What is the average speed for Trial B? m/s

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

14 ft 7 inches

step-by-step explanation:

since each model inch corresponds to 25 real inches, 7 model inches will correspond to

7×25" = 175"

at 12" per foot, that is 14 feet, 7 inches.
