Question 159078: During the first part of a canoe trip, covered 81 miles at a certain speed. He then traveled 18 mile at a speed that was 5 slower. If the total time for the canoe trip was 5 hr, what was his speed on each part of the trip?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Treat this one as a fraction.
(81/99)*5=4.09 hours of travel
(18/99)*5=0.9 hours of travel
4.09*X=81 miles speed approx 20 miles per hour for the 81 mile segment
Speed at the 18 mile segment is 15 miles per hour
