If ying zyiyu covered the first 200 miles of a trip going at 50 mph and the last hundred miles going at 40 mph, what was his average speed for the entire trip? teacher told me it is not 45

Average speed is (total distance)/(total time).
To find the total time we need to do some division.
Time for 200 miles=200/50=4 hours.
Time for 100=100/40=5/2 hours.
Total time=13/2 hours. Total distance=200+100=300 miles.
Av speed=300/(13/2)=300×2/13=600/13=46.15 mph approx.

32

step-by-step explanation:

these are your clues: 1. kim ran 18 races2. this was four fewer races than twice thenumber, notice it says twice the number, so you would do the equation 18x2-4; which equals the number 32.thus, 32 is your answer.
