A car traveled 360 miles in 4 hours. If its speed were to be 15 mph slower, how long would it take to travel the same distance?

4.8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First, divide the distance by time to get velocity.

S = D/T

S = 360/4

S = 90 mph

Then, subtract 15 from 90 to get the new speed.

90 - 15 = 75

Lastly divide the distance by the new speed to get time.

T = D/S

T = 360/75

T = 4.8

Therefore, it would take the car 4.8 hours to travel 360 miles at 75 miles per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
