Question

6. Ed drives from Jefferson to Holden, a distance of 250 miles. He then travels on to

Answer 1

Answer:

The constant speed with Ed is travelling is 60 mile per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The distance cover to travel from Jefferson to Holden is (D1) 250 miles

The distance cover to travel from Holden to Paxton is (D2) 50 miles

Total time taken to complete entire journey = T = 5 hours

Let The constant speed of Ed = S mph

Time = $\frac{Distance}{Speed}$

Or, Time = $\frac{D1}{S}$  + $\frac{D2}{S}$

Or, 5 hour =  $\frac{250}{S}$  + $\frac{50}{S}$

Or, 5 × S = 250 + 50

So,  5 × S = 300

∴           S = $\frac{300}{5}$

I.e         S = 60 mph

Hence , The constant speed with Ed is travelling is 60 mile per hour Answer
