You travel 80 km in the first 1.00 hour of a trip, 50 km in the next 0.50 hours, and 40 km in the final 0.25 hours. Calculate yo
1 answer:
The average speed is the ratio between the distance covered, and the time elapsed to cover that distance.
The total distance is the sum of the three distances covered:
Similarly, the total time elapsed is
So, althought you didn't always travelled with the same speed, you globally covered 170km in 1.75 hours. This leads to an average speed of

We are going to do this step by step:
Let's start with option A
A.
X = 25 and Y = 5/2
In this case, when X = 25 , then Y = 10 ,which is different to 5/2
B.
X = 14 , Y = 35
In case, when X = 14, then Y = 28/5, which is different to 35
C.
X = 40 , Y = 24
Similarly, in this case, when X = 40, then Y = 16, which is different to 24
D.
X = 10 , Y=4
Now, in this case, we can see that when X = 10, then Y = 4 which is the same as the given value of Y
E.
X = 50 , Y = 20
In this case, the values of Y are also the same.
F.
X = 30 , Y = 12
Again, in this case, the values of Y are the same, so the pair satisfies the equation.
In conclusion: options D, E and F satisfy the equation
