Answer» Step-by-step explanation: Find the time taken for the First 15KM: SPEED = 45 km/h (Given) Time = distance ÷ speed Time = 15 ÷ 45 = 1/3 hour Find the time taken for the WHOLE journey: Distance = 15 + 22 = 37 km Speed = 44.4 km/h Time = Distance ÷ Speed Time = 37 ÷ 44.4 = 5/6 hours Find the time taken for the second part of the journey: 5/6 - 1/3 = 1/2 hour Find the speed for the second part of the journey: Speed = Distance ÷ time Speed = 22 ÷ 1/2 = 44 km/h Answer: The speed at the second part of the journey was 44 km/h |
