Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Average speed is the ratio of the total distance travelled to the total time taken. Hence it is given by:
Average speed = total distance / total time
Total distance = d miles + w miles
Jacqui drives three times as long as she walks during the trip, hence:
time spent driving = 3t
Total time = 3t + t
Average speed = total distance / total time
a = (d + w) / (3t + t)
2) (3t + t) represents the total time that Jacqui spends traveling to the beach.
3) Given that a = 36 miles per hour, total time = 2 hours
a = total distance / total time
36 miles per hour = total distance / 2 hours
total distance = 72 miles
Total distance = distance walk + distance drove
72 = distance walk + 70
Distance walk = 2 miles
