Algebra.Com's Answer #412635 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! for the first 1.5 hours of a 91 km journey, the average speed was 30km/hour. \n" ); document.write( " if the average speed for the remainder of the journey was 23 km/hour, calculate the average speed for the entire journey. \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Find the distance driven at 30 km/hr: 30*1.5 = 45 km \n" ); document.write( "then \n" ); document.write( "91 - 45 = 46 km driven at 23 km/hr \n" ); document.write( "and \n" ); document.write( "46/23 = 2 hrs is the time at 23 km/hr \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "let a = the av speed for the entire journey \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Write a time equation; time = dist/speed \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "30km/hr time + 23km/hr time = 91km time \n" ); document.write( "1.5 + 2 = \n" ); document.write( "3.5 = \n" ); document.write( "multiply equation by a: \n" ); document.write( "3.5a = 91 \n" ); document.write( "a = 91/3.5 \n" ); document.write( "a = 26 km/hr av speed for the entire journey \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Did all this make sense to you, any questions?
