Very little information is given in the description. The question asks for a rate for the average rate on the trip d to be 50 mph.
RT=D, uniform rates rule for travel.
___________________speed_____________time___________distance
firsthalf__________30_________________(___)__________d/2
secndhalf__________r_________________(____)__________d/2
Totals______________________________(____)___________d
___________________speed_____________time__________________distance
firsthalf__________30________________d/(2*30)_______________d/2
secndhalf__________r_________________d/(2r)_________________d/2
Totals______________________________d(1/(2*30)+1/(2r))___________d
The time and distances sums can form the expression for average rate which must be equated to 50. :
, very very fast if in mph.
