You drive on Interstate 10 from San Antonio to Houston, half the time at 75 km/h and the other half at 106 km/h. On the way back you travel half the distance at 75 km/h and the other half at 106 km/h. What is your average speed (a) from San Antonio to Houston, (b) from Houston back to San Antonio, and (c) for the entire trip

Sagot :

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) from San Antonio to Houston let distance be d km .

Average speed = total distance / total time

time = distance / speed

Total time = (d / 2 x 75 ) +( d / 2 x 106 )

= .0067 d + .0047 d

= .0114 d

Average speed  = d / .0114 d = 87.72 km /h

b ) from Houston back to San Antonio

Total time = (d / 2 x 106 ) +( d / 2 x 75 )

= .0047 d + .0067 d

= .0114 d

Average speed  = d / .0114 d = 87.72 km /h

c )

For entire trip :

total distance = 2d

total time = 2 x .0114 d

Average speed  = 2 d / 2 x .0114 d

= 87.72 km /h .
