Question

While walking from her house to school, Miriam walks at a pace of 5 km/h. When she walks in the hallways at school, she slows down to 3 ½ km/h. If she spent 2 ½ hours walking to and from school and ¾ of an hour walking in the hallways, what was her average walking speed?

Answer 1

5* 2.5= 12.5, 3/4 of 3.5 is 2.625. add those to get 15.125. divide by the hours(3.25) and the answer is-  4.65 km/hr
