So this is not too hard, as with any math problem we write what we know.

Starting speed: 80km/h
Time from P to Q: 2.5h
Increase in speed: 20km/h (25% is dividing by 4)
Distance from Q to R: 150 kilometers

So let's find the speed and distance for both legs of the trip.

Speed for P to Q: 80km/h
Distance from PtoQ: 200km (2.5h * 80km/h)
Speed from Q to R: 100km/h (80 +20)
Distance from QtoR: 150km.

Now we multiply the speeds by their respective distances add them and then divide by the total distance.

((80 *200) + (100 * 150))/350 = ~88.57143

At what speed was a train traveling on a trip when it had completed half of the total distance of the trip? The trip was 460 mil
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

230 mph in 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

first i found out how many miles does the train travel in one hour

460 miles ÷ 4 hours

= 115 mph / 115 miles in one hour

the question asks what was the speed of the train when it completed half the distance

half the distance = 1/2 of 460 =230 miles

230 miles is half the distance of the trip

& we know this is correct because earlier we found out that the train travels 115 miles in one hour & in 2 hours it travels 230 miles

115×2=230.

the one thing that i dont quite know is if you say the train is traveling 115 mph or 230 miles in 2 hours .im not sure of tnat .
