Answer:

10:30 hours

Explanation:

Total distance=300 Miles, Start Time=07:15

Distance travelled so far is 125 miles for 2.5 hours

First we need to calculate Ayoub's speed as follows

Speed=Distance/Time

=125miles/2.5hour

=50 miles/hr

The calculate the remaining distance

=300-125

=175 Miles

Assuming that Ayoub Travels in the same speed at the first 300 miles, the time he will use to cover the remaining 175 miles is

Time=Distance/speed

Substituting the values

Time=175/50

=3.5 hours

The time he will arrive at Paris is

07:15+03:30

=10:30 hours

Question 2

First calculate the time taken to travel from woodpine to Westray

Time=Distance/ Speed

=32.5/65

=0.5 hours or 30 minutes

Next we calculate the average speed

Average speed is calculated by taking the total distance divided by total time taken

Total distance =32.5+100

=132.5KM

Total time=2+0.5

Average speed=132.5/2.5

=53km/
