Thirty years ago Mike McNamara cycled 445.0km in 12 hours – a new British men’s record at that time. In the same time trial Beryl Burton (who died last year) completed 446.2km. How much faster was Beryl Burton’s average speed than Mike McNamara’s (in metres per hour)?

1000m/h

Step-by-step explanation:

You figure out both of the cyclists km/h times but converting their distance in the 12 hours into a rate

Mike McNamara:

Beryl Burton:

You then divide the denominator (12) by itself so that it becomes 1

Mike McNamara:

=

Beryl Burton:

=

You then divide the numerators by what you divided the denominator by (12) to get the km/h

Mike McNamara:

= 37.08km/h (rounded to two decimal places)

Beryl Burton:

= 37.18km/h (rounded to two decimal places)

You them have to convert km/h to m/h by multiplying the numerators (37.08 & 37.18) by 1000 to get the distance in metres

Mike McNamara:

37.08 x 1000

= 37080m

=37080m/h

Beryl Burton

31.18 x 1000

= 37180m

= 37080m/h

Therefore Beryl Burton's average speed was faster than Mike McNamara's by 1000m/h

$450.00 for 6 weeks

or

$300

step-by-step explanation:

$200.00 for first week $50.00 x5 equals $250 plus $200 equals $450.00 for six weeks.

$200 for first week

$200 x 0.10 = $20

$20 x 5 = $100

$200 + $100 = $300
