a motorist travelled 1/3 of his journey 80km per hour for 4.5 hours. For the rest of the journey he took another 8 hours. On his return journey he took 12 hours to get home.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "what was the distance of the whole journey.
\n" ); document.write( "d = distance of journey one-way
\n" ); document.write( "d/3 = 80*4.5 = 360 km
\n" ); document.write( "d = 1080 km
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "What was his average speed on the return journey.
\n" ); document.write( "Return speed = 1080 km/12 hr = 90 km/hr\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "for the first part, I calculated the distance as follows:1/3x =80x4.5
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1080 km\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "for part two my calculation was 1080km ÷12=90km per hour.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "is this correct.
\n" ); document.write( "Correct.
