Joe drove 210 km at 70 km/h and then another 210 km at 105 hm/h. It took Bill the same length of time to drive the entire 420 km at constant speed. What was Bill's speed?
..
+time+=+distance+%2F+speed
Time taken by Joe = +%28210%2F70%29+%2B+%28210%2F105%29
Time taken = 3 + 2 = 5 hours.
..
Bill takes same time to go 420 kms .
Bill's speed = 420/5 = 84 km/h
