A motorist travelled from town X to town Y at an average speed of 90 km/h.
\n" ); document.write( "after travelling 1/3 of the journey in 45 min. he continued to travel another 120 km to reach town Y.
\n" ); document.write( " find his average speed for the second part of the journey.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the total length of the journey (d)
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2F3\"d = 120 km
\n" ); document.write( "d = 180 km
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let s = his speed for last 2/3 of the journey
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a time equation (change 45 min to .75 hrs); time = dist/speed
\n" ); document.write( ".75 + \"120%2Fs\" = 180/90
\n" ); document.write( "\"120%2Fs\" = 2 - .75
\n" ); document.write( "\"120%2Fs\" = 1.25
\n" ); document.write( "s = 120/1.25
\n" ); document.write( "s = 96 km/hr for the 2nd half of the journey
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
