a boy travels with a speed of 30 kmph for first 1/3 journey time during the remaining journey time he travels with a speed 60kmph find the average speed of the boy
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let t = total time
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F3\"t = time at 30 km/h
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2F3\"t = time at 60 km/h
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let a = average speed for the journey
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a distance equation: dist = speed * time
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "30km/h dist + 60 km/h dist = total dist
\n" ); document.write( "30*\"1%2F3\"t + 60*\"2%2F3\"t = at
\n" ); document.write( "We can cancel out the denominators
\n" ); document.write( "10t + 20(2t) = at
\n" ); document.write( "10t + 40t = at
\n" ); document.write( "we don't care about t, divide thru by t and eliminate it
\n" ); document.write( "10 + 40 = a
\n" ); document.write( "a = 50 km/h is the average speed
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
