Question

27) Mofor left the hardware store and traveled

toward the ocean. Jaidee left one hour
later traveling at 30 mph in an effort to
catch up to Mofor. After traveling for five
hours Jaidee finally caught up. What was
Mofor's average speed?

Answer 1

25 mph

Explanation:

Mofor:

Distance = D

Time = 1 + 5 = 6 hours

Speed = x mph

`D=6x`

Jadiee:

Distance = D

Time = 5 hours

Speed = 30 mph

`D=30\cdot 5\\ \\D=150\ miles`

Hence,

`6x=150\\ \\x=(150)/(6)\\ \\x=25\ mph`
