Answer:
i. Time = 2 hours.
ii. Average speed for the whole journey = 25 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance from Antville to Beetleton = 60 km
Mr. Caterpillar's speed = 30 km/h
Speed = [tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]
⇒ time = [tex]\frac{distance}{speed}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{60}{30}[/tex]
= 2
time = 2 hours
It would take Mr. Caterpillar 2 hours to travel from Antville to Beetleton at that speed.
On his return journey, his average speed is 20 km/h. Therefore;
average speed for the whole journey = [tex]\frac{30 + 20}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{50}{2}[/tex]
= 25
average speed for the whole journey = 25 km/h
