You and your family are taking a road trip. you start off traveling 130 miles in two hours. you stop for half an hour to gas up and get some snacks. back on the road for 3.5 hours and you have traveled 225 more miles. so far, what is the average speed of your trip? show your work

59.8

Explanation:

This problem is always done by taking the total distance and dividing by the total time.

The 1/2 hour used for gas and snacks counts under total time.

Total distance = 130 miles + 225 miles = 355 miles

Total Time = 2 + 1/2 + 3.5 =6 hours.

Average speed = Total distance / total time = 355/6 = 59.8 miles / hour

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
