How far apart are two towns if you walk from one town to another at an average speed of 2.5 kmh and return at an average speed of 3 kmh and the time taken for the double journey was 7 hr 20 min?

Let the distance be d km
time = speed/distance
The journey to the second town took: t1 = d km ÷ 2.5 km/h = d/2.5 hr = 2d/5 hr
The journey back to the first town took: t2 = d km ÷ 3 km/h = d/3 hr
The total time is: t1 + t2 = 7 hr 20 min = 7 + 20/60 hr = 7⅓ hr
→ 2d/5 + d/3 = 7⅓
→ (6d + 5d)/(3×5) = 7⅓
→ 11d = 7⅓ × 15
→ d = ((7×3+1)/3 × 15)/11
→ d = (22/3 × 15)/11
→ d = 22/11 × 15/3
→ d = 2 × 5 = 10
The towns are 10 km apart.
Checking:
t1 = 10 km ÷ 2.5 km/h = 4 hr
t2 = 10 km ÷ 3 km.h = 3⅓ hr
t = t1 + t2 = 4 hr + 3⅓ hr = 7⅓ hr
1 hr = 60 min
→ ⅓ hr = ⅓ × 60 min = 20 min
→ t = 7 hr 20 min.

It is not inauspicious. If you return on the 9th day then once again you have to take another journey. Now a days taki9ng another journey is not a big probleml. On those days journey means you have to go by walk.there was no bus or train on those days.now a days you can return on the ninth day.

How do you write c program of moving average?
double movingaverage (double raw, double smoothed, double alpha) {return smoothed / (1.-alpha) + raw/alpha;}
How do you Calculate the average of two numbers then return the average in c plus plus?
Use the following function: /* returns the average of two real numbers */ double average (const double a, const double b) { return a/2.0 + b/2.0; } Note that we do not use (a+b) / 2.0 because the expression a+b could overflow the range of a double. By dividing each value by 2 before summing we ensure the result can never overflow no matter how large a and b are. Ideally, you should write separate functions to cater for float and long double arguments independently: /* returns the average of two long doubles */ long double average_lng (const long double a, const long double b) { return a/2.0 + b/2.0; } /* returns the average of two floats */ float average_flt (const float a, const float b) { return a/2.0F + b/2.0F; } For mixed-mode arithmetic, always use the highest precision argument. E.g., the average of a float and a double is a double, so use the function that returns a double, not a float. The float argument will be implicitly cast to a double.

How do you give average command in a calculator in visual basic?
There is no average command in VB. You would have to write your own method for that. I would write it like this Public double getAverage() { double average; average = totalAdded/ totalNumbers; return average; } You would have to have totalAdded and totalNumbers as an instance variable.
