Answer: 23) 40 mph
24) yes. 3.18
25) 44.2%
26) 20 - 30 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
23) [tex]\dfrac{\text{stopping distance}}{\text{speed}}\implies \dfrac{43}{20}=2.15\qquad \dfrac{79}{30}=2.63\qquad \boxed{\dfrac{126}{40}=3.15}[/tex]
24) [tex]\dfrac{251-79}{79}=\boxed{3.18}\implies \text{Yes. It is a little more than "tripled"}[/tex]
25) [tex]\dfrac{183-328}{328}=\large\boxed{-44.2\%}[/tex]
26)
[tex]\large\boxed{20-30}:\quad \dfrac{79-43}{43}=83.7\%\\\\\\30-40:\quad \dfrac{126-79}{79}=59.5\%\\\\\\40-50:\quad \dfrac{183-126}{126}=45.2\%\\\\\\50-60:\quad \dfrac{251-183}{183}=37.2\%\\\\\\60-70:\quad \dfrac{328-251}{251}=30.7\%[/tex]
The largest increase is from 20 - 30 mph
