A cruise left port A and traveled towards port B 225 km away. After 1.5 hours of travel, the cruise was stopped for a half an ho
ur and then it had to increase its speed by 10 km/hour in order to reach port B on time. Find the original speed of the cruise.
1 answer:
Answer:
50
Step-by-step explanation:
v = the original speed of the cruise
d = 225 km the distance passed
t = d/v = 225/v the total time of the travel
v*1.5 + (v + 10)(d/v - 1.5 - 0.5) = d (using the formula distance = speed*time)
1.5v + (v + 10)(225/v - 2) = 225
