Answer:
His average speed on the second day is 35 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
On first day, he drove 2 hours longer than he drove on second day.
Let x = Number of hours he drove on second day.
Then x + 2 = Number of hours he drove on first day.
It is given that he drove a total of 18 hours.
Therefore,
He drove 8 hours on second day.
x + 2 = 8+2=10
He drove 10 hours on first day.
Let y = speed driven on second day.
y + 5 = speed driven on first day.
As we know: Distance = speed × time
On first day he covers a distance of:
Distance = 10(y+5)
On second day he covers a distance of:
Distance = 8(y)
Total distance = Day 1 distance + Day 2 distance
Hence, his average speed on the second day is 35 miles per hour.
The equation is .
1/2 is equivalent to 4/8, and 2 1/8 is equal to 17/8. (two full sets of 8 + 1 = 8 + 8 + 1, or 17)
The new equation is . Subtract the numerators.
17 - 4 = 13 or 13/8
The improper fraction simplifies to
.
