Part a· 3 steps
Calculate the total distance covered in the whole journey.
Calculate the distance covered in the first part of the journey.
The formula for distance is .
Calculate the distance covered in the second part of the journey.
First, convert 30 minutes to hours.
Now, calculate the distance:
Calculate the total distance covered.
Part b
Calculate the total time taken in the whole journey.
Convert all time durations to hours.
Time for the first part () = 2 hours
Time for the rest () = 40 minutes
Time for the second part () = 30 minutesCalculate the total time taken.
To add these, find a common denominator, which is 6:
As a decimal, this is approximately:
So, the total time taken is .
Part c
Calculate the average speed used in the whole journey.
Use the total distance and total time calculated above.
Total distance () = 125 km
Total time () = hoursCalculate the average speed.
The formula for average speed is .
As a decimal, this is approximately:
So, the average speed is .
