Step1: Calculate distance traveled
The distance at 8:00 a.m. is 510 km from Baton - Rouge and at 1:00 p.m. is 105 km from Baton - Rouge. So the distance traveled $d=510 - 105=405$ km.
Step2: Calculate time elapsed
The time from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. is $t = 5$ hours.
Step3: Calculate average speed
The average speed $v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{405}{5}=81$ km/h.
Step1: Use similar - triangles property
Since $DE\parallel BC$ and $FG\parallel BC$, we have similar triangles. Let $\triangle ADE\sim\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle AFG\sim\triangle ABC$.
We know that $\frac{AE}{AC}=\frac{AD}{AB}$. Let $AC = x$. From the similar - triangles formed by $DE\parallel BC$, we have $\frac{AE}{x}=\frac{AD}{AD + DF+FB}$. Given $AD = 8$, $DF = 7$, $FB = 6$, and $AE = 16$.
The ratio of the sides of similar triangles gives $\frac{16}{x}=\frac{8}{8 + 7+6}=\frac{8}{21}$.
Step2: Solve for $x$
Cross - multiply: $8x=16\times21$, then $x = 42$.
Step1: Convert hours to minutes
$2\frac{1}{2}$ hours is $2.5\times60 = 150$ minutes.
Step2: Calculate minutes per mile
The average number of minutes per mile is $\frac{150}{15}=10$ minutes per mile.
