2. Every weekend, Phil drives from his home to his favorite amusement park, a distance of 60 miles.

a. If he averages 40 mph for the first half of the trip, what must his average speed for the second half of the trip in order for him to average 50 mph for the entire trip?

b. Suppose that on the trip home, Phil decides to stop a 30 minute dinner break. If he averages 45 mph for the first half of this return trip and 60 mph for the second half of this trip, how many more MINUTES will the return trip take compared to the trip going to the park? (be sure to account for his dinner break.)

Suppose that a certain municipality uses the equation y=3(x-50)+30 to determine the fine assessed a car which exceeds the 50 mph speed limit. Let x=speed of the car (in mph) and y=corresponding fine in dollars.

a)What is the fine for traveling at 55 mph?

b)If the fine is $126, what is the speed of the car?

c)If car A travels at 60 mph and car B travels at 90 mph, then car B is traveling 50% faster than car A. However the fine for car B is what percent higher than that of car A?

Solve this riddle:

I can be used by both men and women,

I am usually around 8 in long,

I am ready to go whenever you'd like,

A sticky substance is used for my job,

When I am working, I move back and forth in a moist pink hole,

What am I?

I am what most question everyday,

Many describe me as warm, but some say I'm cold or useless,

I am for all, but used by some,

I am inside of you. What am I?

This is how I feel. :D

You've just been run over by a car and your dying fast. What are your last words? :D

Ok, I had a dream where I was in an insane asylum. It was really gray and I could barely see. I was wearing the gown they give you in hospitals and was huddled in the corner. Then, there were these 5 other people in there. They all looked exactly like me. They started talking but I couldn't make out what they were saying. I tried to talk but nothing came out. Once they finally stopped talking, I saw a door and ran for it. When I got out the room, I found I was in this hallway and no matter where I ran, I couldn't find my way out. Then I heard a noise and turned around. It was some scary looking doctors and nurses that looked like they were coming after me. I ran and found a door. But, it wouldn't open and I was at a dead end. They caught me and I woke up. What do you think about this?
