Question 908918
During the first 20km of a 50 km bicycle race, Rosa's average speed was 30 km/h. What must her average speed be during the remainder of the race if she is to finish the race in less than 1.5 h?
***
travel time=distance/speed
let x=average speed during the remainder of the race 
20/30+30/x=1.5
30/x=1.5-20/30
30/x=3/2-2/3=9/6-4/6=5/6
x/30=6/5
x=36
What must her average speed be during the remainder of the race? >36 km/hr
