Question

Abdul's average speed is 30 mph in heavy traffic, and his average speed is 60 mph in light traffic. If he was in heavy traffic for 1 hour and light traffic for 2 hours, how far did Abdul travel?

Answer 1

Answer:

150 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Abdul's average speed  in heavy traffic = 30 mph

Time Spent in heavy traffic = 1 hour

Distance covered in heavy traffic =Speed in heavy traffic X Time Spent in Heavy Traffic

=30 X 1 =30 miles

Abdul's Average speed in light traffic= 60 mph

Time Spent in light traffic = 2 hours

Distance covered in light traffic =Speed in light traffic X Time Spent in light Traffic = 60 X 2 =120 miles

Total Distance covered by Abdul = Distance covered in heavy traffic + Distance covered in light traffic

=30 + 120

=150 miles
