Find the Fahrenheit temperature 10 degrees more than 1.5 times its
equivalent in Celsius.
1.5C + 10 = 9C/5 + 32 => -0.3C = 22 => C = -73.333°

If an automobile averaged 40 miles per (mph) to A and returned at 60 mph,
what was its average speed? Use an example of 120 miles
40 mph consumes 3 hours and 60 mph consumes 2 hours for a total of 5
hours and 120 + 120 = 240 miles or 240/5 = 48 mph.

The average of the test scores of a class of p students is 70 and the
average of the test scores of a class of n students is 92. When the scores
of both classes are combined, the average score is 86. What is the value
of p/n?
86 = (70p + 92n)/ (p + n) or 86p + 86n = 70p + 92n
17p = 6n => p/n = 6/17.
