If one day Paula rides a scooter to work at a constant rate of 24 miles per hour, how long should it take her?

3.125 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance between the home of Paula and her workplace is x miles.

Now, driving at the rate of 30 mph she covers this distance in 2.5 hours and hence the distance, x = (30 × 2.5) = 75 miles.

Now, if Paula rides a scooter to work at a constant rate of 24 miles per hour, then she will take (75 ÷ 24) = 3.125 hours to reach her workplace. (Answer)

the answer is 4.8 units on e2020.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
