mr.ben drove from town a to town b. for the first 3 hours, he traveled at an average speed of 60 km/h, and after that, he drove at another average speed of 70 km/h. if the distance between town a and b is 460 km, what was the total time for the whole journey?

Respuesta :

Answer: 7 hours

Step-by-step explanation: For the first 3 hours he traveled at an average speed of 60km. So we would multiply 60 by 3 and get 180. Then we would subtract 180km from 460km. And we would get 280km. Now we would divide 280 by 70km to get 4. Now we add 4 hours and 3 hours to get 7 hours. Answer : 7 hours

The total time for the whole journey  =  7 hours

Distance = Speed  x  time

Distance traveled for the first 3 hours

time = 3 hours

speed = 60 km/h

Distance = 60  x  3

Distance = 180 km

180 km was traveled for the first three hours

Total distance traveled = 460 km

Distance traveled at an average speed of 70 km/h  = 460  -  180

Distance traveled at an average speed of 70 km/h  =  280 km

Speed  =  Distance / time

70   =  280 / time

time = 280 / 70

time = 4 hours

Mr. Ben traveled 3 hours at an average speed of 60 km/h,  he traveled 4 hours at an average speed of 70 km/h.

The total time for the whole journey = 3 hours + 4 hours

The total time for the whole journey  =  7 hours
