Rose's average speed for a 45km journey was 75km/h. She took 21 minutes for the first two thirds of her journey. What was her average speed for the last one third of the journey

Her TIME for the entire journey is given by   Distance/Rate = Time

45km/(75 km/hr) = .6 hr = 36 minutes

She spent 21 minutes going the first 2/3    2/3 of 45 = 30 km

SO she spent  36min-21min = 15 minutes travelling the remaining 15 km

Rate = distance/time = 15km/15min=15km/.25hr= 60km/hr for the final 1/3 (15 km)
