A mail truck traveled 82 miles in 4 1/2 hours. The distance is the product of the rate and the time. To the nearest tenth, what was the average speed of the mail truck?

= 18.2 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = distance / time

            =82 miles / 4.5 hours

             =18.22222222 miles per hour

             Rounding

             = 18.2 miles per hour

Given that

Distance = rate × time

82 = r × 4½

r = 18.2 mph

for this pair of functions g(x)=x-2 and f(x)=|x| is (g o f)(a)= |a| -2

step-by-step explanation:

g(x)=x-2

f(x)=|x|

(g o f)(a)=?

(g o f)(x)=g(f(x))

(g o f)(x)=g(|x|)

(g o f)(x)=|x|-2

(g o f)(a)=|a|-2
