It should be noted that the cheetahs average rate for the entire trip is 55mph
<h3>How to calculate the value?</h3>
The average rate for the trip is equal to the total distance traveled divided by the total time traveled.
Average Rate = 70+ 40/2= 110/2 = 55mph
Yes the average rate of the cheetah is 55 mph
The following equations represent the distance traveled on each leg of the trip.
First leg of trip: td=r1 t1= 70*t
Second leg of trip: td=r2 t2= 40*t
Write an equation for the average rate for the trip. Remember, the cheetah runs from point A to point B and back to point A.
Total distance = r1 t1+ r2 t2
Average rate = Total distance / total time
= r1 t1+ r2 t2/ t1+ t2
=70t+ 40t/ 2t
=110t/2t
= 55mph

Going from point A to point B, the cheetah traveled at an average rate of 70 mph. Returning to point A, the cheetah traveled at an average rate of 40 mph. Using the equation for average rate above determine the cheetahs average rate for the entire trip
