Question 1103905: Taylor drove from Tampa to New Orleans; her trip took her a total of 9.5 hours. Her average speed for the drive was 69 mph. For 4.5 hours Taylor’s average speed was 72 mph. What was her average speed on the remainder of the trip? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Average speed of 69 mph*9.5 hours=655.5 miles.
For 4.5 hours the average speed was 72 mph for 324 miles
That leaves 5 hours for a distance of 331.5 miles
That is an average speed for the remainder of the trip of 66.3 mph.
