Algebra.Com's Answer #256222 by jrfrunner(365)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! d=r*t or r=d/t where r=rate or speed, d=distance and t=time \n" ); document.write( "== \n" ); document.write( "To compute average rate you have to take Total distance divided by Total time \n" ); document.write( "== \n" ); document.write( "Total time there t1=d/r=330/60=5.5hours \n" ); document.write( "Total time back t2=d/r = 330/40=8.25 hours \n" ); document.write( "Total time round trip t1+t2=5.5 + 8.25 = 13.75 hours \n" ); document.write( "Total distance =330+330 = 660 \n" ); document.write( "-- \n" ); document.write( "average trip rate (or speed) = 660/13.75=48.17 mph\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
