Question

Andra travels 90 miles at an average speed of 70 mph.

Answer 1

Answer:

54mph

Step-by-step explanation:

$\textsf {\underline {To find :-}}$

The average speed at 2nd departure.

⠀

$\textsf{ \underline {Given :-}}$

The speed during 90 miles travel = 70mph

The average speed during the entire journey = 63mph

The distance in second departure = 70 miles

⠀

⠀

$\textsf {\large{ \underline{ Solution :-}}}$

⠀

The distance travelled in the entire journey

= 90 + 70 = 160 miles.

⠀

Then the time taken in entire journey will be

$\sf \large = \frac{total \: distance}{average \: speed} \\ \\ \sf \large = \frac{160}{63} \\ \\ \sf \large = 2 \frac{37}{63}hours \\ \\ \sf \large = 2 \: hours \: 35 \: minutes$

⠀

⠀

Time taken at first departure

$\sf \large = \frac{distance}{speed} \\ \\ \sf \large = \frac{9 \cancel0 }{7 \cancel0} \\ \\ \sf \large = 1 \frac{2}{7} \: hours \\ \\ \sf \large = 1 \: hour \: 17 \: minutes$

⠀

⠀

Time taken in second departure

= 2 hours 35 minutes - 1 hour 17 minutes

= 1 hour 18 minutes

⠀

⠀

Speed at second departure will be

$= \sf \large \frac{distance}{time} \\ \\ \sf \large = \frac{70}{1 \frac{18}{60} } \\ \\ \sf \large = \frac{70}{1.3} \\ \\ \sf \large = 53.84 \: mph \\ \\ \sf \large = 54 \: mph$

⠀

⠀

⠀

The average speed at second departure was 54mph.
