Question 80811
This part was derived from the formula where the cost of fuel for a van is C=Vsquared/600 where V is the speed in miles per hour. The driver is paid $5.00 per hour. Find the speed if the cost for wages and fuel for a 110-mile trip is $20.39. Can you help me?
---------
C=V^2/600
20.39=V^2/600
V^2 = 600*20.39= 12234 mph
V=110.607 mph
-------
That's awfully fast for a van.  Are you sure you posted everything
properly. Why did you list $5 per hour? ; it has nothing to do with the
problem as you have stated it.
-------------
Post it again if there is more information or different information.
