Question

Peter drives his van a distance of 54 km. He leaves the depot at 10:55 and arrives back at 12:38. Calculate his average speed

Answer 1

Answer:

31.46 km/hr to the nearest 100th

Step-by-step explanation:

10:55 to 11:00 is 5 min

11:00 to 12:00 is 60 min

12:00 to 12:38 is 38 min

That's 5 + 60 + 38 = 103 min = 103/60 hr. = t

d = rt

54 = 103/60(r)

r = 54(60)/103 =31.46 km/hr to the nearest 100th
