Hector entered a 3-day bike race. He traveled 20t miles on the first day, 15(t+6) miles the second day, and 25(t-3) miles the third day. Which polynomial represents the average number of miles hector traveled each day? A. 20t+1 b.20t+5 c. 60t+3 d. 60t+15

Respuesta :

20t +15t+90+25t-75=60t+15
60t+15/3=20t+5 as the average

Answer:

The average number of miles he traveled each day is [tex]20t+5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the average, we notice that it is a 3-day race, and we have the data of miles traveled each day. Mathematically we are saying that

[tex]A=\frac{1}{3}[20t+15(t+6)+25(t-3)][/tex]

where A is the average we want to calculate, so

[tex]A=\frac{1}{3}(20t+15t+90+25t-75)=\frac{60t}{3}+\frac{15}{3}[/tex]

therefore

[tex]A=20t+5[/tex]

is the average number of miles he traveled each day, wich is the polynomial b.
