Eric drove from town A to town B.
\n" ); document.write( " After traveling 1/3 of the journey at an average speed of 75 km/hr, he continued to travel another 300 km to reach town b.
\n" ); document.write( " If the average speed for the whole journey was 90 km/hr, find his average speed for the last 2/3 of the journey?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "From the given information, 2/3 = 300 km, therefore 1/3 = 150 km
\n" ); document.write( "Total distance = 450 km
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a time equation, time = dist/speed
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let s = the average speed for 2/3 of the journey
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":1/3 time + 2/3 time = total time
\n" ); document.write( "\"150%2F75\" + \"300%2Fs\" = \"450%2F90\"
\n" ); document.write( "reduce the fractions
\n" ); document.write( "2 + \"300%2Fs\" = 5
\n" ); document.write( "\"300%2Fs\" = 5 - 2
\n" ); document.write( "\"300%2Fs\" = 3
\n" ); document.write( "3s = 300
\n" ); document.write( "s = 100 km/hr for 2/3 the journey
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this using the time equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"150%2F75\" + \"300%2F100\" = \"450%2F90\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
