A bus took a six hour trip and traveled 225 miles. The speed was 40 mph for the first part of the trip, and then decreased to 25 mph for the second part of the trip. How many hours were traveled at each speed?

The bus traveled at 40 mph for 5 hours, and at 25 mph for the last hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

The time for the first part is t.  Therefore the time for the second part if (6-t).

40t + 25 (6-t) = 225

40t + 150- 25t = 225

15t = 75

t=5

she played for 18.75 hours.

step-by-step explanation:

if she played 2/4 of a hour on tuesday. and there is 60 minutes in an hour and 60 divided by 4 is 7.5. and she played 2/4 of an hour on thursday then again 60 divided by 4 is 7.5, you add 7.5+7.5=56.25. now you have to do 1/4 of an hour, it equals 3.75. now you have to add them all up. 3.75+7.5+7.5=18.75

i hope this and i hope you get it right. it took me a while to get this done for you. : )
