Question

Bill is walking to the store and he walks the first 500m in 60s. He then runs 1000m in 90s. After stopping for 45s, he walks the remaining 450m to the store in 50s. What is the average velocity for bill's entire trip?

Answer 1

9.4666... (recurring)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average of all trips, we have to find the velocity of each one first:

• 500 ÷ 60 = 8.333.... (recurring)
• 1000 ÷ 90 = 11.111.... (recurring)
• 450 ÷ 50 = 9

Now we have to add all the results and divide by 3 to find or average:

• 8.3 + 11.1 + 9 = 28.4
• 28.4 ÷ 3 = 9.4666.... (recurring)

Hope this helps, have a lovely day! :)
