Question

In a 600 km trip a mans driving speed was 50 km/h for two thirds of the trip if he completes the trip in 10 hours find his driving speed

Answer 1

Explanation:

total_distance = 600 # in km

total_time = 10 # in hours

speed_first_part = 50 # in km/h

Step 1: Calculate the distance he drove at 50 km/h

distance_first_part = (2 / 3) * total_distance

Step 2: Calculate the time taken for the first part of the trip

time_first_part = distance_first_part / speed_first_part

Step 3: Calculate the remaining distance and time

remaining_distance = total_distance - distance_first_part

remaining_time = total_time - time_first_part

Calculate his speed for the remaining part of the trip

1. Speed_remaining_part = remaining_distance / remaining_time
2. Distance he drove at 50 km/h: 400km
3. Time taken for the first part of the trip: 8 hours
4. Remaining distance: 200 km
5. Remaining time: 2 hours
6. His speed for the remaining part of the trip: 100 km/h
