Algebra.Com's Answer #460867 by sachi(548)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! let it take t hr to complete the second part i.e. 70 kms of its journey \n" ); document.write( "so the total length of the journey=50+70=120 km \n" ); document.write( "& total time=90/60+t=1.5+t hr \n" ); document.write( "so the average speed=120/(1.5+t) \n" ); document.write( "but 120/(1.5+t)=50 \n" ); document.write( "or 1.5+t=120/50=2.4 \n" ); document.write( "or t=2.4-1.5=0.9hr=54 mins \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
