Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
Distance
Total Distance on the highway = 3hr * 60 miles / hr = 180 milesDistance in the city = 20 milesTotal Distance = 180 + 20 = 200 milesTime
Time on the highway = 3 hoursTime in the city = xFormula
d /t = r
Solution
Average rate = 57.14Total Distance / Total Time = average rate200 / (3 + x) = 57.14 Multiply both sides by 3 + x200 = 57.14 * (3 + x) Remove the brackets200 = 57.14*3 + 57.14x Multiply the factors on the right200 = 171.42 + 57.14x Subtract 171.42 from both sides.200 - 171.42 = 171.42 - 171.42 + 57.14x So the subtraction28.58 = 57.14x Divide by 57.1428.57/57.14 = xx = 0.500 hour AnswerОтвет:
So this is the answer first find 3% and then decrease
