Monica runs on a treadmill at an average speed of 7.5 miles per hour for 15 minutes. if, the next day, she runs the same distance at a speed of 8 miles per hour, what is the average time taken?

Option 2: 14.06 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first scenario, we will convert the minutes into hours first to get all the quantities in same unit

So,

15 minutes = 1/4 hours = 0.25 hours

Speed = 7.5 miles per hour

Now using the speed, distance and time formula

Speed = distance/time

Distance = 1.875 miles

So the distance for 1st day is 1.875 miles.

For next day

Speed = 8 miles per hour

Distance = 1.875

So,

Converting the hours into minutes will give

0.234375 * 60 min =  14.0625 minutes

Rounding off to two decimals = 14.06 min

So 2nd option is correct..

answer: -10

step-by-step explanation:

s(t) = 1 - 10t

s(x) = 1 - 10x

s(x + h) = 1 - 10(x + h)

            = 1 - 10x - 10h

s(x + h) - s(x) = 1 - 10x - 10h - (1 - 10x)

                      = 1 - 10x - 10h - 1 + 10x

                      = -10h

= -10
