A car averages 55 mph for the first 4 hours of a trip and
averages 70 mph for each additional hour. The average speed
for the entire trip was 60 mph. How many hours long is the trip?
Answer Posted / aprameya
avg speed = (total distance)/total time)
60 = (55 + 55 + 55 + 55 + 70n)/(4 + n)
where n = number of hours after 4 hours..
v get n = 2.. => total duration is 2hrs + 4hrs = 6hrs
