<PRE><B>Question 537310</B>
Bob roller blades 9 miles each morning. Today, he averaged 10 miles per hour for the first 6 miles but then slowed to 5 miles per hour for the rest of the trip. How long did the entire trip take?
-----
1st part DATA:
distance = 6 miles ; rate = 10 mph ; time = d/r = 6/10 hr
----
2nd part DATA:
distance =  3 miles ; rate = 5 mph ; time = d/r = 3/5 hr
----
Total time = (6/10) + (3/5) = 6/10 + 6/10 = 12/10 = 1.2 hr = 1hr 12 minutes
=====================================
