drove her car 8okm in 45mins,then 100km in one hour and finally 120km in 1hr45mins.
(a)what is the total time taken in hours?.
Change the min to hrs, add them up
.75 + 1 + 1.75 = 3.5 hrs total time
:
(b)find her average speed for a whole journey.
Find the total distance. 80 + 100 + 120 = 200 km
Av speed = total dist/total time
200%2F3.5 = 57.143 mph is av speed for the trip
