Question 1 Report

A man drove for 4 hours at a certain speed, he then doubled his speed and drove for another 3 hours. Although he covered 600 kilometers. At what speed did he drive for the last 3 hours?

120km/hr

60km/hr

670km/hr

40km/hr

Answer Details

Speed = $\frac{d i s t a n c e}{t i m e}$
let x represent the speed, d represent distance
x = $\frac{d}{4}$
d = 4x
2x = $\frac{600 - d}{3}$
6x = 600 - d
6x = 600 - 4x
10x = 600
x = $\frac{600}{10}$
= 60km/hr
