Answer:
93 km/h
Explanation:
Given that a bus took 8 hours to travel 639 km. For the first 5 hours, it travelled at an average speed of 72 km/h
Let the first 5 hours journey distance = F
From the formula of speed,
Speed = distance/time
Substitute speed and time
72 = F/5
F = 72 × 5 = 360 km
The remaining distance will be:
639 - 360 = 279km
The remaining time will be:
8 - 5 = 3 hours
Speed = 279/3
Speed = 93 km/h
Therefore, the average speed for the remaining time of the journey is equal to 93 km/h
