Question

Flossie blew a tire 5 minutes into the second leg, up to that point she had traveled 10 km making her speed 2 km/m. It took 2 minutes to fix her tire. Flossie had to finish within 2 minutes in order to stay even with the evil Mabel. If Flossie had 8 km left what speed will she need to win?

Answer 1

4km/m

Step-by-step explanation:

She was going at 2km/m, so 2 kilometers per minute. She has 2 minutes therefore she needs to double her rate to 4 kilometers per minute.
