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)
