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
