1) ans is 90 mph D = r*t In the first mile, d = 1 mile, r = 45 mph, t = 1/45 of an hour. In the second mile, d = 1 mile.

Now the car has traveled 2 miles total, and we want the speed to be 60 mph. This means that it has taken 2 minutes. So the second mile must take (2 minutes - 1/45 hour) 2 min - 1/45 hour = 90/45 min - 60/45 min = 30/45 min = 2/3 min = 40 seconds So the speed for the second mile is 1 mile/40 seconds = 1 mile/(2/3 min) = 3 mil es/2 min = 3 miles / (2/60 hour) = 90 mph

2) The fish is 128 cm long. head = 4 cm tail = head + 1/4 body tail = 4 + 1/4 body body = 3/4(head + tail + body) body = x x = 3/4(4 + tail + x) x = 3/4(4 + 4+(1/4)x + x) (4/3)x = 8 + (5/4)x (4/3 - 5/4)x = 8 (16 - 15)/12 * x = 8 (1/12)x = 8 x = 96 So the body is 96 cm. The tail is 28 cm. The head is 4 cm. The total length is 128 cm.
