Question

own Everything's Coming Up Roses flower shop. Your employee makes 4 deliveries per hour. The distance between the shop and the first delivery is 12 1/3 miles. The distance between the next three deliveries is 8 3/4 miles; 17 2/8 miles; and 23 2/3 miles respectively. The distance from the final delivery to the shop is 10 5/10 miles. What is the average distance for all segments of this trip

Answer 1

The journey is broken down into five segment

Shop - first delivery = $12 \frac{1}{3}$ miles
First delivery - second delivery = $8 \frac{3}{4}$
Second delivery - third delivery = $17 \frac{2}{8}$
Third delivery - fourth delivery = $23 \frac{2}{3}$
Fourth delivery - shop = $10 \frac{5}{10}$

The average distance for each segment are:
$[12 \frac{1}{3}+8 \frac{3}{4}+17 \frac{2}{8}+23 \frac{2}{3}+10 \frac{5}{10} ]$÷$5$

$\frac{145}{2}$÷5 = $\frac{29}{2}=14 \frac{1}{2}$
