Answer:
i. Time = 2 hours.
ii. Average speed for the whole journey = 25 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance from Antville to Beetleton = 60 km
Mr. Caterpillar's speed = 30 km/h
Speed =
⇒ time =
=
= 2
time = 2 hours
It would take Mr. Caterpillar 2 hours to travel from Antville to Beetleton at that speed.
On his return journey, his average speed is 20 km/h. Therefore;
average speed for the whole journey =
=
= 25
average speed for the whole journey = 25 km/h
(p - 0.15p) + 1.99
This is the equation to solve.
p minus 15% of p, plus 1.99 for shipping costs.
