A car was driven for 2 hours at 100 km/h. It was driven for 1 ½ hrs at a different speed. Given that the average velocity for the whole journey was 90 km/h, what was the average speed for the latter part of the journey?

Answers


joseph
Total distance = (100 x2) + (X x 1 ½)
Total time = (2 + 1 ½ )hrs
Average speed = total distance /total time
90 = (100 x2) + (X x 1 ½)/(2 + 1 ½ )hrs
Solve the value of X =73 ½ km/h
