Problem:
A car covers 30km at a uniform speed of 30km/h. What should be its speed for the next 90km if the average speed for the entire journey is 60km /h?
Solution:
Step 1: Find the time taken for the first 30 km
Time taken = distance / speed
Time taken = 30 km / 30 km/h
Time taken = 1 hour
Step 2: Find the time available for the next 90 km
Total time available = total distance / average speed
Total time available = (30 km + 90 km) / 60 km/h
Total time available = 2 hours
Time already taken = 1 hour
Time available for the next 90 km = 2 hours - 1 hour
Time available for the next 90 km = 1 hour
Step 3: Find the speed required for the next 90 km
Speed = distance / time
Speed = 90 km / 1 hour
Speed = 90 km/h
Conclusion:
Therefore, the speed required for the next 90 km should be 90 km/h to maintain an average speed of 60 km/h for the entire journey.
