A cyclist rides from his home to a nearby park 1212 miles away at a speed of 1212 miles per hour. He returns home along the same route at a speed of 66 miles per hour. What is his average speed for the entire round trip in miles per hour?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 88

Cevap

The average speed for the entire round trip is 88 miles per hour.
The correct answer is found by first determining the total distance and total time. The park is 12 miles away, making the round trip 24 miles. The trip there takes 1 hour (12/12) and the trip back takes 2 hours (12/6), for a total of 3 hours. Dividing the total distance (24) by the total time (3) yields an average speed of 8 mph.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the total distance for the round trip.
1212 miles (outbound) + 1212 miles (return) = 2424 total miles.
Average speed requires the total distance traveled over the entire journey.
2
Calculate the time taken for the outbound trip.
1212 miles / 1212 mph = 11 hour.
Time is equal to distance divided by speed.
3
Calculate the time taken for the return trip.
1212 miles / 66 mph = 22 hours.
The cyclist travels the same distance back, but at a slower speed.
4
Calculate the total time for the trip.
11 hour + 22 hours = 33 total hours.
Average speed requires the total duration of the trip.
5
Calculate the average speed for the round trip.
2424 miles / 33 hours = 88 miles per hour.
Average speed is equal to total distance divided by total time.

A logistics officer must load four distinct cargo items onto a transport aircraft. To maintain proper weight distribution, the items must be loaded in a specific sequence based on their total weight. Arrange the following cargo items in order from lightest to heaviest.

Öğeleri doğru sıraya koymak için sürükleyin

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

The correct order from lightest to heaviest is: the crate (2,2502,250 lbs), the pallet (2,2802,280 lbs), the container (2,3002,300 lbs), and the supply pod (2,3302,330 lbs).
By converting all items to a common unit (pounds), we can accurately compare their weights: the crate is 2,2502,250 lbs, the pallet is 2,2802,280 lbs, the container is 2,3002,300 lbs, and the supply pod is 2,3302,330 lbs. Arranging these from lightest to heaviest yields the correct sequence.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Convert the weight of the crate to pounds.
2,2502,250 lbs
Standardizing all weights to a single unit (pounds) allows for direct comparison. 98×2,000=2,250\frac{9}{8} \times 2,000 = 2,250.
2
Convert the weight of the pallet to pounds.
2,2802,280 lbs
Since there are 1616 ounces in a pound, divide by 1616. 36,480÷16=2,28036,480 \div 16 = 2,280.
3
Convert the weight of the container to pounds.
2,3002,300 lbs
Since there are 2,0002,000 pounds in a ton, multiply by 2,0002,000. 1.15×2,000=2,3001.15 \times 2,000 = 2,300.
4
Convert the weight of the supply pod to pounds.
2,3302,330 lbs
The pod has mixed units. Convert the ton to 2,0002,000 pounds and the ounces to pounds (5,280÷16=3305,280 \div 16 = 330). Adding them gives 2,000+330=2,3302,000 + 330 = 2,330.
5
Arrange the converted weights in ascending order.
2,250<2,280<2,300<2,3302,250 < 2,280 < 2,300 < 2,330
The question asks for the items to be ordered from lightest to heaviest.

The technician noted that the minor voltage drop was a precursor to the complete electrical outage. In this sentence, what does the word precursor most nearly mean?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: forerunner

Cevap

forerunner
The word precursor is derived from the prefix 'pre-' (meaning 'before'), the Latin root 'curs' (meaning 'to run'), and the suffix '-or' (designating an agent or object). Thus, a precursor is literally something that runs ahead or comes before, which aligns directly with the meaning of 'forerunner'.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Break down the morphological components of the target word precursor.
The word contains the prefix 'pre-' (meaning 'before'), the base root 'curs' (from Latin currere, meaning 'to run'), and the noun suffix '-or' (indicating an agent, device, or thing that performs an action).
Analyzing prefixes, roots, and suffixes reveals the foundational meaning of derived vocabulary.
2
Synthesize the affix meanings to define the full word and evaluate the context.
Literally meaning 'that which runs before,' a precursor is an indicator, predecessor, or forerunner that precedes a subsequent occurrence.
Matching the morphological synthesis with the sentence context confirms the correct synonym.

A military cargo plane flies for 22 hours and 2020 minutes at an average speed of 420420 miles per hour. It then encounters a strong headwind, reducing its average speed to 360360 miles per hour for the remaining 4545 minutes of the flight. What is the total distance, in miles, traveled by the cargo plane?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 1250; 1250 miles; 1,250; 1,250 miles

Cevap

The total distance traveled by the cargo plane is 1250 miles.
The problem requires calculating the distance for two separate flight segments and adding them together. For the first segment, the time is 22 hours and 2020 minutes (73\frac{7}{3} hours) and the speed is 420420 mph, resulting in 980980 miles. For the second segment, the time is 4545 minutes (34\frac{3}{4} hours) and the speed is 360360 mph, resulting in 270270 miles. Adding these distances yields a total of 12501250 miles.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Convert the flight time of the first leg into hours.
22 hours and 2020 minutes is equal to 2132\frac{1}{3} hours, or 73\frac{7}{3} hours.
Speed is given in miles per hour, so time must be in hours to correctly use the distance formula.
2
Calculate the distance traveled during the first leg.
420×73=980420 \times \frac{7}{3} = 980 miles.
Applying the formula Distance = Rate ×\times Time.
3
Convert the flight time of the second leg into hours.
4545 minutes is equal to 4560\frac{45}{60} hours, which simplifies to 34\frac{3}{4} hours.
Uniform units are required before calculating the distance for the second segment.
4
Calculate the distance traveled during the second leg.
360×34=270360 \times \frac{3}{4} = 270 miles.
Applying the formula Distance = Rate ×\times Time for the reduced speed segment.
5
Add the distances from both legs to find the total distance.
980+270=1250980 + 270 = 1250 miles.
The total distance is the sum of the distances traveled in each individual segment of the flight.

A local sports center is installing a new rectangular practice mat for gymnastics. The designated floor space is 4040 feet long and 2020 feet wide. If the specialized foam matting costs $5\$5 per square foot, what is the total cost to cover this floor space?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $4,000\$4,000

Cevap

The total cost to cover the floor space is $4,000\$4,000.
To find the total cost, we first need to determine the total amount of matting required by calculating the area of the rectangular space. The area is found by multiplying the length by the width: 40×20=80040 \times 20 = 800 square feet. Then, we multiply this total area by the cost of the matting per square foot: 800 square feet×$5 per square foot=$4,000800 \text{ square feet} \times \$5 \text{ per square foot} = \$4,000.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $900\$900

Cevap

The total cost of the sod for the backyard is $900\$900.
The correct answer is found by determining the area in square yards and multiplying by the unit price. Converting the dimensions first gives 1515 yards by 1010 yards, yielding an area of 150150 square yards. Multiplying 150150 by $6.00\$6.00 gives a total cost of $900\$900.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Convert the dimensions of the rectangular backyard from feet to yards.
Length = 45÷3=1545 \div 3 = 15 yards; Width = 30÷3=1030 \div 3 = 10 yards.
Since the cost is given per square yard, it is most efficient to calculate the area in square yards by first converting the linear dimensions.

A cargo aircraft flies from a logistics hub to a regional airport, a one-way distance of 360360 miles. The aircraft makes the outbound journey at an average speed of 180180 mph. On the return trip along the exact same route, carrying a heavier load, it travels at an average speed of 120120 mph. What is the aircraft's average speed for the entire round trip?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 144144 mph

Cevap

The correct average speed for the entire round trip is 144144 mph.
The correct average speed is found by dividing the total round-trip distance by the total round-trip time. The total distance is 720720 miles (360360 outbound +360+ 360 return). The outbound flight takes 22 hours (360÷180360 \div 180) and the return flight takes 33 hours (360÷120360 \div 120), resulting in a total time of 55 hours. Dividing 720720 miles by 55 hours gives an average speed of 144144 mph.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the time taken for the outbound journey.
360360 miles ÷180\div 180 mph =2= 2 hours.
Time equals distance divided by speed.
2
Calculate the time taken for the return journey.
360360 miles ÷120\div 120 mph =3= 3 hours.
The return distance is the same, but the return speed is different.
3
Determine the total distance and total time for the entire round trip.
Total distance =360+360=720= 360 + 360 = 720 miles. Total time =2+3=5= 2 + 3 = 5 hours.
Average speed for a multi-leg journey requires the overall totals, not just the averages of each leg.
4
Calculate the overall average speed.
720720 miles ÷5\div 5 hours =144= 144 mph.
Average speed is equal to the total distance divided by the total time.
