Traveling 15 miles in 20 minutes, how many miles per hour must you be going?

45

Step-by-step explanation

Juan has just completed a 15 kilometer race in 20 minutes.  What was his average speed in kilometers per hour?

Solution

First, 15 kilometers is a distance, so

       d  =  15

Next, we are given 20 minutes and we are asked to present the speed in kilometers per hour rather than kilometers per minute.  We need to convert 20 minutes to hours.  Since there are 60 minutes per hour, we divide by 60 to find out how many hours it took

t  =  20 minutes / 60 minutes per hour =  1/3 hours

Now we can use the d=rt equation:

15  =  (r)(1/3)

If we multiply both sides

(3)(5)  =  (r)(1/3)(3)  or  r  =  45

Juan's average speed was 45 kilometers per hour.

see below

step-by-step explanation:

7.   there are 10 data points in the set.   the middle point is between 5 and 6.   the middle point in the top half is 8   and the middle point in the bottom half is 3. to find the iqr , take point 8 and subtract point 3

mid term   point 8 = 100   point 3 = 88

iqr = 100-88 = 12

final   point 8 = 93   point 3 = 78

iqr = 93 - 78 = 15

the final has the greatest iqr

6.   b - there is a high data value that causes the data set to be asymmetrical for the males: the data for males are high and asymmetrical .   there is an outlier for the males that skews the data

5.   the   iqr is a better measure of spread for the movies and basketball games.   since the basketball game has an outlier, we do not want to use standard deviation for measurement.  

3.   the exam median is much higher than the class median.   the median line is farther to the right on the exams

2.   there is no way to tell what the means are from the box and whisker plots.
