Question 908669: A truck completes a 10 mile trip in 20 minutes. If it does one half the distance at a speed of 20 miles per hour, then its speed for the remained of the distance must be....mph? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x the speed for remaining distance = 1/3hr |Multiplying thru by 60x so as all denominators = 1
15x + 300 = 20x
300 = 5x
60mph = x, the speed for remaining distance
