Question

Jose traveled to the town hall and back. The trip there took five hours and the trip back took four hours. He averaged 35 km/h on the return trip. Find the average speed of the trip there.

Answer 1

28 km/h

Explanation:

so i multiplies 4 times 35 since it took 4 hours to return and they were going 35 km/h and got 140 so the town is 140 kilometers away

then i divided 140 by 5 since it took 5 hours to go over there and its 140 km away and got 28

so if they took 5 hours to drive 140 kilometers to go they would average 28 km/h going to the town

Answer 2

If he traveled back with an average of 35km/h and did it in 4 hours then the distance he traveled is 35 x 4 = 140 km

The trip there took him 5 hours so his average speed = 140/5
average speed of trip there=28km/h
