Question

A car journey has two stages.

Stage 1: The car travels 110 miles in two hours
Stage 2: The car travels 44 miles at the same average speed as stage 1
Work out the time for stage 2
Give your answer in minutes.

Answer 1

48 minutes

Explanation:

2h = 110 miles

1h = 110 ÷ 2

= 55 miles

Therefore, the speed of the entire journey is 55 miles per hour.

1h = 60 minutes

55 miles = 1h

55 miles = 60 minutes

44 miles =
`(44)/(55)` × 60 minutes

= 48 minutes
